The book did influence me particularly in that I’m less likely to eat cheese now, since they take the dairy cow’s children from her and kill them, you know. 🫣 (And obviously at the end of a dairy cow’s life it gets painfully butchered by hyper-oppressed people who end up needing, and not getting, therapy. But that was in the other book.) So I’m less likely to let people buy me cheese at our get-togethers. (Even my vegetarian-y mom is very non-vegan.) Bagels instead of pizza, for example. (They can still get corpse bagels, lol, I just take two un-doctored ones.) Although I don’t really like eggs, my mom’s friend owns four hens and she insists on giving me eggs. (Children have no agency—even after thirty.) I guess I might eat regular pizza at work if they’re just going to use up the pizza anyway, I don’t know. But I feel differently about cheese now.
I also learned about plastic water bottles being unhealthy—melted plastic in the water—and bought a water filter and stainless steel water bottle.
I guess that the other end of things, where I’m not sure I can ever be vegan, or at least now, is medicine. I live and interact with people who are aggressively normal, so I think if I do much as Raised The Question of vegan medicine, they’d arrest me for criminal weirdness, you know. But I think I feel somewhat differently about medicine. If the pig is like me and they use the pig for medicine and kill him because of how similar we are…. Well, at least we don’t do that and then have pork because piggies are Not like us, you know. But then, I don’t know everything.
I got this book largely because of the part on vegan clothes, but I found it pretty disappointing. It basically said, What clothing materials are vegan? Google it! And I’m like, thanks; I use ecosia, the search engine that plants trees—but basically it’s the same right. Search engines, the tool I already had. I buy books because I want more; I want analysis; I want it…. Systematized.
But anyway. We have a body, and sometimes what we put in it and how we interact with the would physically matters. Overall all, it’s a perfectly passable book, you know.… (plus d'informations)
