Veganism is not some mundane diet choice. It is the difference between enslavement and freedom, between torture and peace, between life and death. "I think that we've become very disconnected from the natural world and many of us what were guilty of is an egocentric worldview ... We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow and when she gives birth we steal her baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable. And then we take her milk that's intended for her calf and we put it in our coffee and our cereal.” -Joaquin Phoenix
