vegan logic

[Guest guest]

dear all, one of my best friends (who incidentally has admitted to seeing

the case for veganism and wanting to be a vegan if only she were possessed

of enough self discipline, though what she means as 'seeing' the case for i

am unclear of.... as i personally and perhaps also

inaccurately/simplistically believe that to see the logic of veganism is

'self discipline' enough.... or at least ALMOST.... or, uh, something.)

wrote the below and i forward it here as i feel currently too inarticulate,

and more generally too ill equipped information wise, to respond...... so...

any suggestions?

i tentatively offer the idea of 'spiritual' or 'moral' 'evolution' in

'support' of veganism and as opposed to physical.... but wondered whether

anyone has any more coherent, intelligent and developed arguments/responses

etc etc

bani

ps- the relevant part of her email follows:

 

 

I was watching Walking with Beasts the other day, which is absolutely

brilliant by the way, ..and they were saying how our evolution from " apes "

(can't remember the correct term) into humans was achieved because of the

increase in brain size and brain power - a feat that occurred because

of....the consumption of MEAT. Basically, human brains grew in size and

power because of the ingestion of specific nutrients in meat. This enabled

pre-humans to be far more aggressive hunter-gathers. Isn't that

interesting. Tell me bani, how do you regard your veganism in the context

of your evolutionary history ?? What philosophical and practical relevance

do you accord it? Do you think it might facilitate or hinder you future

evolution ??
