I have just HAD IT with politics and agendas and the news and the media and fear-mongering, I see it all as deceptive, agenda driven. So that was my mindset when I see read the article, another person using their platform of influence to affect the political views and personal habits of their "audience", and your stuff has always been about making your own choices and decisions. To me this article is like you supporting a political candidate. But that is because I have a very strong "political filter" and I'm doing my best to get rid of it, but obviously it's not going down without a fight. So I probably over-reacted.
But that's my interpretation, I'm sure I am taking this totally different than you intended. |
Your reaction surprised me at first. It seemed out of character for you. I figured this topic must have touched a nerve that was already flaring because I couldn't connect your statements with the article itself. I certain didn't write this article for political reasons. I wrote it to share what I'd learned.
I hardly see myself as political given that I've never voted in any election. And I certainly didn't go vegan (or write about veganism) for political reasons. I originally went vegan as a personal growth experiment.
For me this is a human issue, not a political one. This is about making conscious choices as individuals.
