Hey ms herbivore. It's good to have more Midwest vegans on here. Curious though, why so aggressive with non-vegan veggies? Seems with as few vegans as there are in North America, non-vegan veg*ns are our most likely allies and have the most potential to become vegans of any in our society. It took me years as an ova-lacto to get to a point where I'd broken through the deep conditioning permeating so many areas of my life, so i see why it can be a long, gradual journey for many. I look at the sky and see it streaked with poisons, realize our waters are tainted with fluoride, drugs, and who knows what else, and we all know the deal on food... So on top of severe and weighty family and societal issues which we must struggle with everything to see clearly, overcome and set aright, we have all these massive attacks on our communities (and all life on the planet, really) to contend with, so it seems counterproductive to me to say "fuck yourself" if you don't live exactly as I do right now, especially if you too had your own journey to veganhood. But maybe i'm just missing something... Peace, sister.
