YOU DECIDE On August 5, The Vegan Society put out a statement that its “aims and objectives remain unaltered from those of our founders 70 years ago.” Here is Donald Watson, Founder of the Vegan Society: >>We can see quite plainly that our present civilisation is built on the exploitation of animals, just as past civilisations were built on the exploitation of slaves, and we believe the spiritual destiny of man is such that in time he will view with abhorrence the idea that men once fed on the products of animals bodies.>Take the broad view of what veganism stands for - something beyond finding a new alternative to scrambled eggs on toast or a new recipe for Christmas cake. Realise that youre on to something really big, something that hadnt been tried until sixty years ago, and something which is meeting every reasonable criticism that anyone can level against it. And this doesnt involve weeks or months of studying diet charts or reading books by socalled experts - it means grasping a few simple facts and applying them.>The full slogans of the Love Vegan campaign so far are as follows: “You don’t have to be vegan to love vegan lipstick.” “You don’t have to be vegan to love vegan trainers.” “You don’t have to be vegan to love vegan ice-cream.” We know that we need to be inclusive and non-judgemental if we are going to encourage and support large numbers of people to go vegan and stay vegan.
