When I first saw PCRM's " Kickstart Your Health With a Vegan Diet " campaign, I let out a bit of a sigh. And if this campaign increases the number of people who decrease their animal usage in their diets, that's a great step. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics Language. At least they didn't say "vegan cleanse."

It has absolutely nothing to do with any genuine environmentalist ethic. And not all organizations that advocate for animals claim to have a "genuine environmentalist ethic," and the ones that do must subscribe to his ethic or they're not genuine?
