Veganism is not a diet
Not a weight loss strategy
My intention is not to reduce my carbon food print
It’s a radical shift in the way I look at non human animals
To see them as individuals with the capacity to feel pain, joy, and suffer
To harm them is to harm myself
5 years ago I vowed to look at all beings through the lens of compassion
To reduce suffering in the world by not supporting the exploitation of animals for food, clothing or entertainment
To practice peace in each meal
I don’t expect the world to understand or agree with my life choices
I understand many are not ready for this radical message of non violence
From single cell To hairless apes Humans left their jungle home For the great unknown Soon they ate what they could to survive Then hunter-gathers began to settle Building thriving empires on maize, rice, wheat, & rye The next evolution of the human species No more need to slaughter No more need to abuse & exploit their fellow earthlings In 2021, humanity is still stuck in the past Stuck in greed, tradition, & fear Some though are waking up to the suffering of the world & it’s beautiful creatures Choosing compassion at every meal If humanity takes the next step towards a vegan world The world will heal The animals will live Pandemics will end
With Aloha,
Johnny
