"I coined the term feminized protein for eggs and dairy products: plant protein produced through the abuse of the reproductive cycle of female animals. Feminized protein is taken from living female animals, whose reproductive capacity is manipulated for human needs. The unique situation of domesticated female animals required its own term: a sexual slavery with chickens in battery cages and dairy cows hooked up to milking machines. ⌠The radical truth is that people can be perfectly happy as vegans, but the dominant culture canât or wonât acknowledge this. ⌠Being vegan is an exciting, wonderful culinary experience and we probably donât even know whatâs possible because itâs still so new. ⌠The process of objectification/fragmentation/consumption can be interrupted by the process of attention/nowness/compassion."
