Does being vegan make a difference in the world? We explore this question at length in this episode. From the number of people who have gone vegan in the last few years to industries that most people would never expect to have completely vegan products (like floss and contact fluid), we demonstrate how veganism is within anyone's reach and the impact it's already created worldwide for millions of people and animals.

 • Resources were scarcer then than they are now - globally we waste about ⅓ of all food produced for human consumption - that’s a massive percentage and a very serious problem - it’s a little higher in the US too (source and source)
 • It’s very clear throughout Scripture that God and Jesus regard created life with honor and dignity - Jesus Himself was poor and identified with the poor, who in His time rarely had more than basic food staples to eat - and Jesus is often referred to as the Good Shepherd, a title that shows us He’s for the honest and supportive care of vulnerable animals like sheep

• Definition of cult: a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object • The Atlantic’s 7 Signs You’re in a Cult ◦ 1. Opposing critical thinking ◦ 2. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving ◦ 3. Emphasizing special doctrines outside scripture ◦ 4. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders ◦ 5. Dishonoring the family unit ◦ 6. Crossing Biblical boundaries of behavior (versus sexual purity and personal ownership) ◦ 7. Separation from the Church • Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated three primary characteristics, which are the most common features shared by destructive cults. — http://www.csj.org/studyindex/studycult/study_lifton2.htm ◦ 1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority. ◦ 2. A process [of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as] coercive persuasion or thought reform [commonly called "brainwashing"]. The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader. ◦ 3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader. • What is veganism? ◦ Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. • EOM: https://www.ethicalomnivore.org/dangers-of-vegan-movement/ The Humane Society of the United States’ Meatless Monday campaign saved 10.3 million animals from slaughter between 2012 and 2017: https://www.livekindly.co/meatless-monday-saves-20-million-animals-vegetarian-meals/ By being vegan, you save the lives of 198 animals per year, 11,000 square feet of forest every year, 5 pounds of additional marine life for each pound of fish you’re not eating, millions of animals exploited for cosmetic items, food testing, and lab experiments, and at least 7,300 pounds of Co2 every year: https://www.livekindly.co/veganism-saves-animals/ Having been vegan for six years and three months (at the time of recording), I’ve saved at least 2,280 animal lives: https://thevegancalculator.com/#calculator Part of the problem is the large gap between people’s perception of fish intelligence and the scientific reality. This is an important issue because public perception guides government policy. The perception of an animal’s intelligence often drives our decision whether or not to include them in our moral circle. -- 2016 Animal Cognition Journal -- “Fish Intelligence, Sentience, and Ethics” -- https://animalstudiesrepository.org/acwp_asie/75/  Don’t forget to check out OneGreenPlanet.org!

Why do people think veganism is too expensive? Top 3 reasons: 1. It’s an unfamiliar diet and lifestyle to most people — Only 1-3% of American adults are permanent vegans 2. The animal ag industry subsidizes animal foods — Many of the costs that prop up animal flesh and secretions production are handled by lobbyists and governmental action Further reading: https://cleantechnica.com/2016/12/19/animal-agriculture-subsidies-threaten-planet/ https://jia.sipa.columbia.edu/removing-meat-subsidy-our-cognitive-dissonance-around-animal-agriculture https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/us-touts-fruit-and-vegetables-while-subsidizing-animals-that-become-meat/2011/08/22/gIQATFG5IL_story.html https://qz.com/1802977/climate-concerns-put-public-funding-for-meat-industries-into-question/ https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2017/03/wheres-the-beef-meat-lobby/ https://www.lobbyists4good.org/animal-ag-subsidies https://www.agriculturefairnessalliance.org/news/kym-biganimalagnotasbig/ 3.
