More people would be veg*n if they thought about what they’re actually putting into their mouths.

Good for you @shelbibelle for facing the truth!

Many people in my life have the same attitude about this, it really bothers me but no matter what I do I can not get them to accept the facts of what really happens. All you can do is just stick to what you believe in and keep trying to educate others about it. Maybe someday your friend will realize its better to accept the truth than to avoid it but until then just stay on your path. Good luck with everything!

At lunch today I was discussing animal rights will a few of my (very amazing) non veg friends. I was explaining what gelatin is and one of my friends said “I just don’t think about it and eat it anyway.”

I love her to death but that’s exactly the problem. People don’t think. They just pretend that if they don’t think about it, its not true and therefore makes it ok.
I had that attitude for many many years. I guess one day I couldn’t push those thoughts aside anymore.

I don’t know. That just really shocked me. I love her but its people like her that are the problem. They chose to look the other way instead of do something.

I’m proud to say that I refuse to look the other way.
