Not only is being Vegan cheaper, it is the lifestyle by default of many of the worlds poor. There is nothing prove liger about choosing to be kind, in fact it is essential to solving world hunger as the amount of land taken up to grow feed for meat is taking food away from the poor for the privelige of an obese rich nation to eat animals over plants.

Great post, I especially liked your point about how animal cruelty is against the law but routine torture in the industry is overlooked.

I think the main reason why a lot more people aren’t vegan is because they don’t HAVE to be. This kind of routine cruelty is socially acceptable and distanced from our lives, so we don’t have to think about it. Obviously this doesn’t only happen with our food but also all the products we buy that, as far as we know (or care), have no history before we saw them in the shop. For many people, just looking for ‘free range’ and ‘organic’ labels is enough to satisfy any niggling guilt.

Having said that, I think we need to blame our ruthlessly money driven society, big business and the government for making it incredibly difficult to be vegan, and more expensive as well. While I am vegan, I realise that it’s from a place of privilege that I can be, which I think is the biggest shame of all. When someone is struggling to eat at all, it’s not logical to try and tell them what TO eat.
