A sage piece of advice I once learned and often find valuable is: “people resist change less than they resist being changed”.

The suffering that I hope to avoid causing by enjoying a vegan lifestyle would be present in forcing anyone to do anything, thus forcing the exposure to the reality of the meat and animal product industry on others is not an activity in which I would engage. More, my many years of enjoying a vegan lifestyle are in no way connected to exposure to the unnecessary horrors of animal product production.

I find that being an “attractivist” rather than an activist better fits my intention to live as healthfully and joyfully as possible while causing the least harm possible. As an attractivist, I demonstrate the possibilities of better health, greater kindness, and a more peaceful existence without the need to push my perspective on others nor denigrating the perspectives of others.

All that being said, would Would more people become vegan if they were forced to see the process from life to table? - possibly, but I prefer to imagine that people transition to a vegan lifestyle because they recognize the wonderful positive benefits rather than due to revolution to the worst aspects of their current lifestyle.

Thank you again for the opportunity to respond. Peace and health to you always.
