How many vegans does it take to change a light bulb?
Q: How many vegans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, vegans can't change anything.
Why I'm not a 'vegan': most vegans (that I've met) are militant vegans. They're 'anti' lots of stuff. NO furs, no eating meat, dairy is bad, leather is evil, chickens are abused, eating eggs is akin to abortion, etc.
Now, while I might agree with some of their views - I also think human beings are at the top of the food chain and with that comes a bit of latitude. I honestly don't believe man would have survived this long and become the dominant species on the planet if we weren't omnivores. Think winter. Think ice age. Get my point?
Will I ever eat an animal product again? Of course I will. Will I ever eat an animal-centric diet again? I sure hope not.
Will a micro-culture change the world? Nope. Math just doesn't work that way. 'Vegans' will never change the world. But if I can help educate other people that I come in contact with, maybe they can do the same. Over time this movement may become more mainstream - and that may change the world.
BTW, I lust after products made by Saddleback Leather.

"Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman
The book "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman is a great introduction to why a plant-based diet should be important in your life. He invented the term "Nutritarian" for a brilliant marketing reason: (1) "vegan's" cannot and do not eat any animal products - that's a hard sell to the uninitiated. "Nutritarian's" can eat anything they want as long as they make the most nutritious choices - nothing's completely off the table (even though eating animal products is STRONGLY discouraged). So, what's the difference: a vegan doesn't eat animal products and may be vegan due to ethical concerns. A nutritatian may eat animal products sparingly and eats plant-based for nutritious reasons. The content of the book is great, though it's not quite the page turner that Dr. McDougal's book is, for example. Highly recommended, but parts might be a struggle to get through - but get through them, it's worth it.
