This Is Vegan Propaganda (& Other Lies the Meat Industry Tells You)

by Ed Winters

strongly believe that what we do to animals is something that future generations will look back at in horror. At the risk of sounding too idealistic, I hope that those future generations will be ones that come about in my lifetime. Although if they do, we should probably start to think about our answers to the questions, ‘Why did you allow this to happen? Why did you ever allow an industry that caused so much suffering, pain and death? That destroyed the natural world and the wildlife that existed within it, that caused infectious diseases, pandemics and antibiotic resistance, not to mention the chronic diseases and illnesses that affected hundreds of millions of people. What were you thinking?’ The truth is that we don’t see the damage caused when we take a bite out of an animal product, but that doesn’t make the damage any less real. Our ignorance about what is happening doesn’t lessen the reality of what others are forced to endure as a consequence of our choices.
