Why VeganSapien?

Glad you asked! First lets start with the vegan…

 

Why vegan?

 

That’s a good question…however, it is a difficult one to answer as there are as many different reasons as there are people. Everyone who chooses to go vegan does so for reasons all their own. Nevertheless, these reasons share similarities and are rather loosely defined. Most often cited are; health, environment and animal rights.

 

Many, like myself, are interested in reducing suffering at large. I am aware that a meat based diet cannot feed the whole world. Rearing animals for food is simply too resource intensive. It may be hard to believe, but one half of the world is currently suffering from diseases caused by excessive food consumption, while the other half of the population is afflicted with starvation, malnutrition and the other illnesses related to food scarcity.

 

And sapien…?

 

My concept behind VeganSapien is based primarily on my interest in anthropology and my belief that evolution is a process, a process that does not stop regardless of how stubborn or closed-minded humans can be. It is my hope that one day everyone will be a “vegansapien” and we will all be able to enjoy a long, happy, disease-free life and live in peace with each other and all creatures.
