Recently I took notice of a feature on the NPR program "On Point". Host Tom Ashbrook looks at the increasing trend of veganism in America and the fact that it is becoming more and more mainstream. What a concept! I listened to the program three times, and while I did not necessarily agree with everything that I heard, I think that it is amazing that being vegan is not as obscure as it used to be. And I think that I have proven through this blog that it does not have to be extreme at all!!!! I would not say that I am extreme. As a matter of fact, I still think that eating dead bodies and enjoying it is extreme. Mr. Ashbrook mentions in the introduction that ,"... things change, and suddenly vegans and veganism seem to be everywhere. Some Americans going all the way. Some toe-dipping. It’s a remarkable moment, a remarkable shift." PLEASE take a few minutes to listen to this interview, and let me know what you think! You can email me at jocelynshaffer@hotmail.com!
