michaelhobson Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 "I don't know. An alien?" Priceless!! I would like to hope most people are better informed! I feel like an alien sometimes, especially now that I live in a small town in Pennsylvania. Vegan may as well be alien here. As for people being better informed, I don't think they are really, so I do my best to educate people. Often that education starts out with a homemade gourmet vegan cupcake. After the oohs and ahs and thank yous, I like to fill them in that it's vegan and what that means. I love the looks of sheer astonishment and the question asked 100% of the time "but how did you make it without eggs?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pink Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I actually like pretending the word Vegan is a word for an Alien species. It sounds so cool and sci-fi like. Ah the Vegan invasion has begun. The Veganites from Vegatron are coming for us. Hide your Broccoli and carrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Michael is right about the education, it's one of the biggest problems of societies. Ignorance is a tool, a weapon. It is important that we change the priorities of the things we teach in schools. This video is going in my favorites... a vegan is a bug, an alien, a candy bar, a woman... What if the question was : "do you know why meat-eaters are cowards and the workers at the slaughterhouses are their mercenaries ?" they would answer : "because we love animals?" or "in which country is Slaughterhouse?"

HCPinGviini Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 "Is it a wrestler?" Maybe we should do the same kind of vid here, in Finland. I'd guess, that older ppl wouldn't know what a vegan (or "vegaani", in finnish) is. If I'll manage to get a video camera, I'll do it. I could even make subs for it to post it here.

Im Your Man Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah I think I'll do this too. I live in a small village of 2 000 inhabitants. Then I could do it in Montreal where there's 3 millions people and see if it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 That would be great if any of you can make similar videos. You can even post them as a video response/comment on Youtube as a response to the original video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
