They do, but they make it worse instead.

Being viewed as an extremist, while you feel it is the most sensible thing to do. Being around people who don’t care or don’t know about cruelty to animals, warming up the atmosphere or nature’s loss of habitat - and consequently the future of our children and grandchildren. The sadness and anger that this sometimes causes. Feeling a distance growing towards friends and family. Being left out when everybody else is eating cake. Luckily there’s a small, but growing vegan community that you don’t have to explain yourself to and whom you understand perfectly.

Imagine how being vegan makes you the most horrible pariah. Change of diet was not difficult at all, but I wasn’t quite prepared for the social consequences.

There’s quite some room in between the lanes. If they all move in a bit, I bet there’s plenty of room for an extra bike lane on either side.

Who else should tell them? Sure, it could probably have been phrased better, but the message stays the same. And I believe in the power of repetition. There’s still a very long way to go, worldwide. I’m well aware of that. But every journey is one step at a time.

Yeah, I remember. But how important is that?

This dependence on meat is mostly imaginary.

What I didn’t see in the reactions yet is that a lot of Americans do not want any government involvement at all. Save for things that are supposedly written down in the Bible. The Republican party is providing just that, anti-establishment, anti-intellectual and don’t forget: anti-minority. Just people being tough and dare to support the party who will turn the clock back to when times were perceived to be better. Same sentiment is present in Europe by the way, like it was a century ago.

Not acceptable at all. But bringing a cat would be just fine.
