September 20, 2013 10:32 - 38.5 MBListen HERE Relevant quote: "The fact that people won't go vegan immediately does not mean that we should ever promote anything less than veganism as morally okay. We ought always to be clear that if animals matter morally, we cannot justify consuming them. If someone who cares about animals wants to do less than go vegan, or want to go vegan in stages, let that be their choice and not our recommendation. We should *never* promote non-veganism as a morally good thing. We should *never* put ...

NZ Vegan Podcast Episode 102 - This is a MORAL issue
April 18, 2013 08:40 - 30.1 MBListen HERE Welcome back to the continuing series of NZ Vegan Podcast! My final episode was not my final episode after all :) This episode I address the one of the common issues arising from the dialogue about vegan advocacy, specifically those who say it is preferable to concentrate on the dietary and health aspect of veganism when advocating to people, rather than the moral issue. Needless to say, I disagree.
