On Vegans
I think that if you were a vegan looking for a good way to convert meat-eaters over to your side, one thing you could do would be to hold an "Animal Lovers Barbecue." At the barbecue, you could have some sort of petting zoo featuring baby versions of animals people typically eat, like piglets and calves and baby chicks. And you could have some humanely trained animals putting on a show for the crowd, making sure to rope them in with every "aww" moment imaginable. You could also set up booths that would teach people about the cruel conditions many animals live in, and the terrible processes that eventually bring them to your plate.
And after all of the festivities are finished with and it's time to eat, you bring out all the baby animals and slaughter them in front of the crowd, screaming at them, "THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" And then you grill up the animals and serve them to the crowd, telling them that they can't leave until they've eaten every last bite of shame from their plates. You can probably hire some bodyguards or something to prevent people from leaving. And maybe undercook the meat too.
I think that these are the kind of sacrifices that vegans need to make if they ever hope to advance their cause.
I went to Italy over break. It was neat.
