The Vegan Manifesto Zachary Patterson

The Vegan Manifesto serves as a political discussion between the author and reader about the larger ramifications of veganism. The book calls for vegans to open their minds to all of the implications of their vegan ethics as it relates to topics such as race, sexism, democracy, capitalism, abortion, and the death penalty among others. The book also explores the intersection of veganism and animals within most of these topics. For example, the book argues that eating animals is sexist. Veganism has become a popular movement in the past few decades and only continues to grow. As our movement begins to have a larger reach, we must have a more robust platform that addresses areas often left at the wayside by the vegan community. Being vegan is not just a diet, it is a way of life.
