“I am 13 and saw your lecture and became a vegan.”

I am 13 and saw your lecture and became a vegan. Many vegans adore you because you really go out and try to tell people the truth even sometimes if it fails. Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 10:01 AM

Thank you for changing my life. I was vegetarian since I was 7 years old, and I thought I was doing the right thing. Thanks to you I woke up and realized vegetarians don’t have the right to feel good with themselves. My dad (a lawyer) convinced ALL of his clients, friends and our family …

“It is easier to keep your blinders on and attack the person bearing the inconvenient truth…”

It is easier to keep your blinders on and attack the person bearing the “inconvenient truth” than it is to make change. Regardless, your lectures and activities have succeeded in creating a huge amount of change. The media can shove its microphones where the sun don’t shine. At the end of the day people are …
