First I have to say that my husband and I were in our courtyard last night, with wine, vegan pizza with shiitakes, portobellos and chanterelles (still working through that five-pound bag of Daiya cheese), and Diana Krall playing. But today's post is about World Vegan Day, so onward. Some go vegetarian first, then vegan.

I could be reading into this, but it does appear that there's some discomfort on the part of non-vegans when they look through the calendar and I tell them the story. And when you're checking out at the health food store with your cans and bag of vegan dog food, how could that not be a seedy opportunity?

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? That action is to opt out and go vegan. In other words, the perception of pain is affected. My objection is: Why do such research when you don't need to?

Reading thousand-word long posts in black type on a plain white screen with nothing interesting to look at isn't exactly a satisfying sensory experience. Lesson #20 We still don't know what will make a critical mass of people go vegan. Yes, I see on Twitter that someone read Eating Animals and went vegan that day. So I failed.

Their goal is to make a profit from the breeding and slaughter of animals. Just ask former cattle rancher Howard Lyman , who is now a vegan and animal rights activist. If someone owns me, forcibly breeds me, takes my kids and ends my life, it's a living hell for me. But so are family farms. I don't care about scale.
