zaftigvegan. It’s five pages, so it’s a fairly long article, but it’s well worth reading.
Reading this reminds me of the fact that although I cannot change the world, I can still change my little corner, and perhaps more importantly, I can educate my children and fill their heads with ideas. Kids are so impressionable and idealistic that they make perfect activists, and their susceptibility to peer pressure, while disconcerting in many ways, can be a great thing when it comes to their commitment to making radical changes. They can reach and change each other in profound ways that appear to be dimished in adults. My spiel about the evils of mass produced food might fall on deaf ears when I speak to an acquaintance of mine, but if my children speak to their children, who knows, perhaps the ideas might find fertile ground?
