I have a column on my Tweetdeck (an application for ease of Twitter use on my desktop) called "vegan," where all tweets from all tweeple who mention "vegan" are listed in somewhat real time. Finally, I'm pretty sure I'm not in his demographic, but I've seen a lot of tweeting about people going vegan after watching Onision.

You wouldn't expect Pollan or Oprah to deliver a vegan or animal rights message and they didn't. Alicia Silverstone was on the show as a spokesperson for the health benefits and other benefits of veganism. And I won't say she's not a "real vegan," as I'm not the vegan police. Nothing wrong with any of that.

As I've written previously, I never pushed him to go vegan, and now that he is I don't push him to do any vegan education.

I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. And of course that premise is only possible because the animals (and everything else on the planet) are our "resources." That depends largely on us, our priorities, and our allocation of resources.

I do Transcendental Meditation and other kinds, as well, and recently I've been getting requests for good meditation resources that don't cost $2,500 for a mantra (like TM). We vegans have a lot of feelings associated with why we do what we do and I, for one, find it necessary to do a lot of work around my emotions.

I want to talk about why we shouldn't be using animals and that it's infinitely easier to be a vegan than it was 20 years ago. So there are more vegans and fewer animals used by humans, right? And I don't see how they further our goal of getting humans to realize that nonhumans are not resources for them to exploit.

It has absolutely nothing to do with any genuine environmentalist ethic. But if you're on the outside, and you're hostile to the idea of respecting the natural lives of sentient nonhumans and you see them only as resources to be managed, might you have a similar idea?
