SUMMARY:VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB: THINK LIKE A VEGAN (PT 2)

We ask that you read the book\, or at least part of it\, and bring a quote from the book that resonated with you\, a question about something you didn’t understand\, and/or a comment about something you read. This will help us have a meaningful discussion. Not everyone has to speak\, but it is more fun when more people contribute! \nBook description: “What is animal agriculture\, and what is its impact on the environment? … What’s the problem with organic meat? What are the economics of plant-based foods? What about honey? … What is the relationship between veganism and feminism? … From basic fairness to politics\, economics\, love and other aspects of being human\, Think Like a Vegan invites the reader to set aside their preconceived notions about veganism\, and to enter into an invigorating conversation about your daily ethical decisions.” (from the cover) \n  \nThe Book Club is a collaboration between Attorneys for Animals and VegMichigan. \nPlease register for the Zoom meeting at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcodOCtrj8sE9Fj6AV1LvkbaQh2ssOxhECZ. \nAfter you register\, you will get an email from Zoom with the link for the meeting. \n  \nWe hope you can join us!
