Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos? Vegans give money to organizations that they think are going to further their vegan cause but that's not what ends up happening with all 100% of those donations (let's assume some goes to vegan education or animal rescue or even open rescue).

I wanted to reach people who use animals, but also people who don't, yet who nevertheless advocate for the regulation of the use of animals or give money to organizations that do. That's what I do, and it works, as in--people go vegan and stay vegan. The argument's flawless.

Trader Joe's, a national specialty grocer, offers a large range of vegan and soy products. Here is what their web site says.

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.

But I don't want to talk about PeTA.

But when you step back from those discussions you see that: 1.
