Looks like an excellent report from the #vegan society.

Blows away a lot of myths & shows an almost positive trend globally across 21 countries.

“…when somebody buys some bacon, their money flows through the checkout to the people who confine, torment and cut up the pigs. It’s not a metaphor. It’s not an ethics class. It’s a real transaction with real consequences.”

There’s nothing extreme about veganism
