Trouble in the ranks

“1%’ers” have been successful at cementing our shopping habits. They not only give us what we want but mess with our minds at the same time. They effectively do our choosing for us, do it by brazen temptation and by way of misinformation. Subtly and subliminally they secure our loyalty to their products – we the customer support them (the animal industries) to serve our own interest. Other than vegans, have we ever seen anyone routinely not wearing animal skins somewhere on their body or not eating abattoir-derived foods? And you don’t need to look too closely to see that most adults over 40 are already ill from their life-long use of these products.By using misinformation, the “wicked 1%ers” persuade the spending dollar from peoples’ pockets and have no compunction about generally screwing up the future of the planet as they do so. They conserve what they have (in their bank accounts) and discourage radical changes … so that when their sons or daughters announce “I’m going vegan” you can bet they’ll respond - “Not if we have anything to do with it you won’t”!!!
