An interesting article in The Conversation about making the discussion about veganism political. My main reaction was that I always felt those discussions (as illustrated by the author) were political. And that this has always been one of the sticks with which people have beaten vegans - that they politicise food choice.
But surely the argument should be that all food choices in modern industrialised countries are inherently political because of the agro-industrial systems that put the food in the shops in the first place. Unless you truly live self-sufficiently in the industrialised world (so a vanishingly small fraction of a percent of the population), then your food choices are political and have been for at least 50 years.
Another massive failure in our education systems that do not give a true understanding of the world. But that is only to be expected as the education system is controlled by the same people who control and benefit from the agro-industrial system.
