Vegan Lifestyle = Direct Action
A Conversation with Rex Bowlby, Author of ‘Plant Roots’
Q. How many vegans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. I dunno...but where do they get their protein?
Like any self-respecting vegan atheist, I’m an evidence junkie. Taking
little or nothing at face value, I scoff at the corporate media, the latest
scientific (sic) studies, and anything that begins or ends with “amen.”
Living in a nation that shuns evidence can be a tad frustrating...that is,
until people like Rex Bowlby come along.
His new book, “Plants Roots: 101 Reasons Why the Human Diet is Rooted
Exclusively in Plants” (Outside the Box Publishing), is a mother lode of
verification on how the eschewing of animals as food, clothes,
entertainment, shooting targets, and laboratory subjects makes sense. And
when I say “makes sense,” I mean not only for the typical selfish human
wishing to steer clear of degenerative diseases...but also for every living
thing on the planet.
Readable, often funny, and never condescending, Bowlby’s 101 reasons will
bowl you over with the evidence you’ll need to facilitate your own personal
lifestyle revolution and/or reaching out to others seeking direct paths
toward justice. Being the “militant vegan” I am, I read Bowlby’s book with
unmitigated glee...then I got in touch with him to ask some questions.
