I sometimes feel shattered by this world and your posts help me pick up the pieces :)<br />My biggest concern of the moment is this: the access that meat-production has to young minds via the universities; the access it has to their vision, distorting students into seeing "housing" where cages exist. And there is nothing I can do about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-10328389632966418052014-01-29T05:39:41.397-06:002014-01-29T05:39:41.397-06:00Thank you for commenting Bea.

Really though, when I think about it, why wouldn't veganizing the world be somehow transforming? Maybe we are immersed in a worldview and cultural understanding that is much more impactful and veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-12398233648037310932014-01-29T05:15:48.884-06:002014-01-29T05:15:48.884-06:00Thank you for commenting Laloofah.

How painful it would be to identify with these labels if not for knowing that it's no prize to be *normal* in a sick world... <br /><br />It does come as a shocker though to realize that there's no cosmic, evil-plot that makes humans this way...
