Not a Me Diet, It's a We Diet. (vegan / vegans / veganism)
28 June 2016 [link youtube]
(1) This is the voice of Jerry V. Egan (link to his channel below). (2) It has always been interesting for me to see different vegans coming to the same conclusions along different lines of reasoning, and expressing those same conclusions in different terms: Jerry is definitely an example of this (he reminds me of many things I've said myself, some recently, some repeatedly, on this channel). (3) I've also been interested in promoting "small" vegan channels (especially if I can discover them when they're still getting fewer than 100 viewers, etc., as I've done with a few different channels this year). Here's the link:
