Subject: why didn't Paul Shapiro convince Michael Krasny to go veg?

[Guest guest]

I know public outreach (like radio/tv programs,

newspaper articles, leafleting) is crucial for

education, but I am also realistic that I shouldn't

expect someone to denounce their current diet/value

system on the spot. Egotistically, I think it's way

too difficult for people, myself included. I *do*

think that information can slowly impact a person as

they have time to think about it and they may

eventually go veg or reduce animal-product

consumption.

 

More than anything, being vegan has taught me that I

must have patience and compassion for people with

where they're at. I also have to be willing to

actively live my ethics since talking about them has

limited impact. In the two years that I've been

vegan, three people in my life have become vegan and

about six that I know of have drastically reduced

their consumption of animal products.
