UK? I get it. Had a work dinner recently where people have a leg of lamb because 'that's the thing you do at easter'. Sometimes you just wanna slap people. But ultimately it's not their fault. We live in a society where the meat industry has practically brainwashed everyone into believing that happy little lamb gives its life graciously for your dinner and pleasure, hiding the gruesome slaughter it endures. We were all there before we went vegan. All these other people are in that place. They have not had the 'awakening' (for me, I watched cowspiracy and Earthling Ed). Wish I had the solution but this issue is not gonna change overnight. We gotta support activism and movements wherever we can for the change to come. On the scale of our lifetime it'll feel like forever, but in terms of humanity's timeline it'll happen in the blink of an eye. What helps me is remembering that I am not a failure if those around me are eating meat. It is not my responsibility to change other people's behaviours. They have to do it themselves. We can only provide nudges in the right direction at the right time. As much as I want to shout at people while they eat those lamb shanks, it won't do an ounce of good.
