There is no force powerful enough
to stem the tide of an idea whose time has
come.
We can no longer, in good conscience or in good health,
continue to use animals for food.
The
vegan concept is not a fad that will pass with time.
It is a necessary shift in thinking, that will lead to
a heightened empathy and concern for others.
It is the expansion of compassion, which is the single most
important step
in the next evolution of humankind.
When we consider the wolf and the elephant,
the shark and the ox,
the weasel and the deer,
we find that it is not the size or strength of animals,
but how they obtain their food, that determines
whether their nature is violent or gentle.
We humans are also animals.
Therefore, it is how our food is obtained
that determines our own nature: violent or gentle.
A gentle human nature is essential if we are to evolve;
and we must evolve, if we are to survive.
