Anarcho-Bicyclist Conference Manchester April 2011

While I accept that serving vegan food caters for just about everyone, why is being vegan seemingly a sine qua non for being an anarchist? Why does a political movement that encompasses and occasionally encourages, political assassination not accept the slaughter of animals for sustenance?

Clive, vegan food is usually considered more *in*clusive, not *ex*clusive. It means that all can eat the food (bar people with unusual allergies). It's also a bit like creating step-free entrances or well-designed street environments--it makes sense for all, not only for people with mobility difficulties.

Also, anarchist thought is at least as varied as that of any other political school of thought and to shine the main spotlight on it 'occasionally encourag[ing] political assassination is a bit like being stuck in stereotypes of ages ago.
