I’ve just happened upon Jeffrey Masson (thanks Vegan Society of NZ), author of many literary gems including The Face on Your Plate and New York Times bestseller When Elephants Weep (see below). Check out his website here, where you’ll find all sorts of interesting info for vegans and non-vegans alike, including insights from the author himself:
“I believe that in 500 years (maybe less) people will look back on us and wonder about many things. No doubt behavior we consider normal today will inspire horror in our more enlightened successors. War, for example. But I also think they may believe our disdain of insects is incomprehensible. Perhaps they will marvel that we could so easily cut down trees and perhaps even flowers.”
My only hope is that it doesn’t take 500 years for Jeffrey’s predictions to come true.
