BNT: I fall into the moral/political vegetarian category – in your book you reveal how this “activism” will not save the world, or produce less animal suffering. Can you explain? Browne, Sarah. 2014. The Women’s Liberation Movement in Scotland. Manchester: Manchester University Press.

Instead there’s this constant effort to make us believe we can have this forever, that the problem is that it’s not being distributed equitably, so everybody should have this one way or another and we just need to figure out how to fuel it. The sun shines everyday so why don’t we just harvest the sun? It’s the simplest thing in the world and also really hard. We actually have to do it if we’re going to save our planet. The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability is a 2009 book by Lierre Keith published by PM Press. Keith is an ex-vegan who believes that "veganism has damaged her health and others". [1] Keith argues that agriculture is destroying not only human health but entire ecosystems, such as the North American prairie, and destroying topsoil. [2] [3] Keith also considers modern agriculture to be the root cause of slavery, imperialism, militarism, chronic hunger and disease. [4] I think if people really understood that the techno industry is destroying life on the planet, the only logical option is to side with life on the planet and want to protect that.J – I find it mind blowing how movements can get co-opted. It’s really insane. I don’t fully understand how it happens. It does seem really obvious that in both of those cases that what is being promoted is not a good thing. Henley, Nancy. 1977. Body Politics: Power, Sex and Nonverbal Communication. New Jersey: Prentice-Hall. Whether we’re nutrition newbies or seasoned veterans of seasonings, we all share the experience of a “nutrition journey”.

The planet has been skinned alive. And the only reason we have not hit complete collapse is because we’ve been eating fossil fuel since 1950. This is not a plan with a future as peak oil is probably behind us and we are on the downside of Hubbert’s curve. By getting that into public consciousness, that was a positive thing but their demands were always – we need to switch fuel sources – instead of trying stop those industrial processes that are literally devouring our planet, they want to, instead, create a whole new set of technologies that are supposed to be clean and green so that we can continue to have industrialised civilisation.Hoagland, Sarah Lucia. 1988a. Introduction. In For Lesbians Only: A Separatist Anthology, ed. Sarah Lucia Hoagland and Julia Penelope, 1–14. London: Onlywomen Press. The thing we do know about how to reduce the population. The number 1 thing that works around the world is teaching a girl to read, that means that when women and girls have that much power over their lives and their futures, they choose to have fewer children. Half the children born each year are either unplanned or unwanted. All we have to do is give complete reproductive power to women and this problem will solve itself in time. So, they are solving for the wrong variable, they want to keep this way of life, extend it to everybody, they just want to find another way to fuel it.
