Even if just one of those people changes their behavior - it makes a difference to "the man".<br /><br />As someone who runs grassroots campaigns I see everyday how powerful one voice can be! One person tells their friends, or one news story comes out about the treatment of animals in a factory and it can change behavior. Or the worst - you drive by a truck carrying 100s of cages of chickens on a highway in GA and realize for yourself that there is no humanity there.<br /><br />I will leave you with this tale: a woman I know who works in the beauty industry told me that some of her clients who have just moved to the US experience hair growth in places they never before had such growth. There could be a couple causes for this but her research tells her it's the hormones in the meat we eat. EWW.<br /><br />I haven't totally stopped eating meat - but I am extremely picky about what meat I do consume. Leather may be next off my list!<br /><br />Awareness and education are key.<br /><br />As I learned from a summer camp song "It only takes a spark to get a fire going."Nance-ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03675558193087138265noreply@blogger.com
