Nursery teas

911: 

What confronts the vegan activist most powerfully today is a mighty army, formed up against our puny push. It’s no wonder they can ignore us, since we appear to have no weaponry worth worrying about. We just seem to be a few nervous advocates on soap boxes, calling out to passers-by. And when no one stops to speak to us it puts us in a bad mood.

What weapons do we have, to fight ‘the good fight’? Perhaps we have only one - that veganism is unarguable. Put to the test, it’s what omnivores dread most of all. It’s surely why they avoid all talk, about this subject of animals. If you’re talking ‘vegan’, and if you find yourself short of confidence, remember how low in confidence the omnivore is, despite there being so many of them.

Our vegan philosophy hangs like the Sword of Damocles over their heads, and probably annoys the hell out of them, because they can’t talk about this subject without sounding foolish. It’s a good reason for keeping well away from it.

But it must be galling, for them to have think like the mob. It might be quite embarrassing, wanting to be seen as normal but on this matter incapable of independent thought. What holds most people back is their love of their food, their treats and their nursery teas.
