“Are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat, wear, and use animal products? Of course. But in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic, and ableist society there are social pressures to participate and engage in sexism, racism, homophobia and ableism. At some point, you decide who you are and what matters morally to you. And once you decide that you regard victimising vulnerable nonhumans is not morally acceptable, it is easy to go and stay vegan.” – Gary L. Francione
