Think Like a Vegan
Date
September
Description
Imagine your life or freedom depended on someone advocating for you or those like you. Who would you want on your side? 1: someone who is unequivocal about your right to be alive and free. 2: someone who makes exceptions to your right to be alive and free in favour of those who want to continue to deny you that right?

Description
The authors discuss the special challenges of writing on a topic (in this case veganism) that is emotionally charged and often personal. They compare inviting a reader to share their worldview with the metaphor of inviting a guest into oneʼs home.

Description
''Think Like a Vegan'' invites you to set aside your preconceived notions about veganism, and enter into an invigorating conversation about your daily ethical decisions This book is not just for vegans. It’s for anyone who is curious about veganism, its principles and what even non-vegans can learn from its practice. From basic fairness to politics, economics, love and other aspects of being human, society’s systemic injustices are intimately interconnected, including the fight for racial justice, feminism, and ethical production, as are the threats we face together, from environmental collapse to global pandemics. Seeking a fair world for animals means we must also seek to reject and redress the injustices perpetrated against each other. These are not mutually exclusive goals, or mutually exclusive ideas Seeking to challenge, educate and illuminate, ''Think Like a Vegan'' draws threads between essential points of philosophical thought to help answer the fundamental ethical question: ''How should we act, and why?''

Description
As a society we are eating less meat. Data from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs showed that in 2023, meat consumption had fallen to its lowest level since records began in the 1970s. The cost of living crisis is leading many to choose cheaper vegetarian options, yet only one percent of the population are ethical vegans and there is talk of the vegan bubble having burst. A panel of women at the heart of the vegan movement discuss these issues and looked at the future of vegan and plant-based diets.
