human behaviour

veganism is not a diet, it is a lifestyle.

whether it be an ethical/spiritual one (as in my case) or an environmentally conscious choice (as is the case for certain friends of mine) it becomes a fetish and/or religion. but then again, that goes without saying, since all lifestyles are fetishes - and all fetishes are religions - and all religions are fetishes - and all fetishes are lifestyles...

...sa-ta-na-ma...the infinite, inescapable cycle of life, death, and rebirth...everything is just one never-ending algorythm - and everything is exactly the same as everything else on a molecular/philosophical level - even sex and god.

however, on a macroscopic level everything is very different from each other, and as supposedly highly evolved organisms, we humans have some extremely important choices to make...

whatever the reason one decides to become a vegan, it all boils down to the same thing: delicious food, healthier minds and bodies, and less of a negative impact on the land and the freedom of animals. i think all of these things are very positve and should be promoted actively and forcefully. we now have the knowledge and means to create non-animal based foods which are healthier and more ecologically sound. why wouldn't we want to steer human evolution in this direction?

and if along the way less animals are tortured and killed because of it, then as a species we have also evolved further morally...

and isn't evolving a beautiful thing?
