My Face Is on Fire is a blog (with an associated podcast) which focuses on abolitionist vegan education, animal rights issues and the misrepresentation of veganism in pop culture or mainstream media.
I'm certainly no proponent of weight-loss veganism, but it does look suspicious that all the people who don't know what "vegan" means are, errrrrrr, how shall I put this......well-rounded?
Cute clip, but it seems skewed in favor of non-native English speakers, who possibly couldn't be expected to know a somewhat uncommon word like "vegan."
That's the point to be emphasized here: probably ALL of these people know of PETA and equate PETA with 'animal rights', but have never heard of the word vegan. PETA is the worst phenomenon ever to happen to veganism and animal rights.
I bet most of these people have heard of PETA though.
ReplyDeleteWhich would only help explain why they don't know what 'vegan' means.
ReplyDeleteExactly : )

ReplyDeleteI love the older gentleman, early on, who seems to be confusing "vegan" with "vulva." (i.e., "Is that a woman?" - what else might he be referencing!?)
