Important Workshop on Veganism on Animal Rights Zone following ARZone Podcast.


I'm really looking forward to this weekend's workshop in Animal Rights Zone (ARZone). Having said that, I'm hoping not to be saying much. I want to hear the stories from the ARZone members about how and why they became vegan. Of course some of the stories may be about still becoming vegan - and I guess a couple of brave persons may claim that they are comfortable being vegetarian. I'm not sure if many - or any - flesh consumers are members of ARZone. They would we welcome. of course, if they are there to explore issues in human-nonhuman relations.


I'm hoping to not have to say much, because I've tried, along with other admin personnel from ARZone, to explore the issue of going and living vegan in the latest ARZone Podcast (ARZone PC 12).


The reason I think this workshop will be of particular importance is because there is no settled agreement about how best to approach people with the vegan message. In fact, saying "people" is problematic in itself, and John Robbins' "different strokes for different folks" (from Diet For A New America) applies here.




Hope to see you there.
