kunsjoi sent in some uplifting news! Do y’all like the uplifting news? I know I sure like uplifting news. It lifts me up, see. Oh! The news! A school district in California has committed to offering vegan meals in all school cafeterias. What’s more, the first day’s supply of veggie burgers sold out! Yes, there were only 12 of them, but it’s a good start. The board is continuing to serve non-vegan options, but it looks like this all came about from the actions of one teacher who started a vegan club.
The only issue I’ve got with the news is the ongoing theme that veganism means marginalization and sacrifice – for example, there’s someone mentioned who claims to have “abandoned a lucrative career to dedicate her life to animal rights.” Why can’t people have both if they want to?
