A Very Vegan 2016

A VERY VEGAN 2016

2016 closing, 2017 soon to begin

Many indications the world is changing!

People are stocking cruelty-free kitchens

and vegan athletes are crushing competitions.

Places like Sea World are tanking, no pun,

people no longer viewing exploitation as fun.

New vegan products crowding out vile abuse on store shelves

When we take care of others we also take care of ourselves!

Many people aren’t buying the *products* of torment

Vegan sales have exploded by 1500%!!!

Ben and Jerry’s jumped in with some vegan ice cream,

and Tyson bought in to the Beyond Meat (vegan) team.

They can see all the sales, the shift in the spending

Google reports “vegan food” a top in the trending!

Hellmanns tried suing - a desperate last phase,

before losing the lawsuit and then made vegan mayonnaise!

One must mention Anita and the resulting case file,

in a master flip of the script they put cruelty on trial.

Vegan chili and cupcakes taking the prize,

and the word vegan on packages grown to quite a large size!

People worldwide have answered the call,

to discard their dissonance and apply their morals to all.

Every vegan helping make positive stride -

Thank you so much for letting your ethics decide

I cannot wait to see what 2017 brings our way.

If you are not vegan please go vegan today.
