The Role of Veganism in Modern Discourse
The conversation around veganism has evolved significantly over the past decade, reflecting broader societal changes and challenges. One major difficulty faced by vegan activists is combating the persistent misinformation and myths surrounding animal welfare and nutrition. This misinformation often leads to ridicule and misunderstanding of vegan principles, making it increasingly challenging to engage in constructive dialogue.
