"But for the sake of some little mouthful of meat,
we deprive a soul of the sun and light,
and of that proportion of life and time it had been
born into the world to enjoy."

SENECA (C.5 - C.E.65)
Roman philosopher, tutor to Nero

There is no force powerful enough
to stem the tide of an idea whose time has come.
We can no longer, in good conscience or in good health,
continue to use animals for food.

The vegan concept is not a fad that will pass with time.
It is a necessary shift in thinking, that will lead to
a heightened empathy and concern for others.
It is the expansion of compassion, which is the single most
important step in the next evolution of humankind.

When we consider the wolf and the elephant,
the shark and the ox, the weasel and the deer,
we find that it is not the size or strength of animals,
but how they obtain their food, that determines
whether their nature is violent or gentle.

We humans are also animals.
Therefore, it is how our food is obtained
that determines our own nature: violent or gentle.
A gentle human nature is essential if we are to evolve;
and we must evolve, if we are to survive.
