From VegCooking , courtesy of PeTA: The vegan-friendly attitude of P.F. Vegan dishes are among the bestsellers. One manager told PETA Eats that most people prefer the vegetarian lettuce wraps over those with chicken. There I was, going to lunch with newbie vegan, Cristy, who is terrified of restaurants since going vegan.

I'm a vegan who thinks we shouldn't be using animals even if we change the conditions of their use. Of course there are oodles of vegetarians who mention veganism and how difficult and restricting it is, and overall I'm having a fairly disheartening experience. After all, who I am doesn't stop at vegan.

I've used the term "animal activism" lately as an experiment. And that relationship usually has something to do with PeTA. But I don't want to talk about PeTA. 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. They've hijacked enough already!

Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animal rights activists. Over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression , we’ve been discussing tactics and sharing our thoughts and experiences about what works and doesn’t work when it comes to advocacy.

That's why people say that they have no problem eating them, harvesting them, experimenting on them, etc. Some fight for veganism, some against factory farms, some against experimentation, poaching, habitat encroachment, etc. Humans get all wrapped up in stories of those who can communicate their sufferings. Animals can't do that.

I say "if you know someone" because this isn't a book I'd recommend to vegans for their vegan education efforts. The vegans I know would probably find it a bit maddening, and here's why: We aren't sure whether Foer is a vegan. In all fairness, most people's only reference is PETA. Not great, but good.

All animals except the dog are called "it" (I did a little experiment to see what would happen). Therefore, one of the many things we need, aside from the obvious of more vegan parents, is a line of nonspeciesist books for each age/stage.
