Meatless Mouthful: Isa Chandra Moskowitz On Baketivism
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 30th, 2009 in Authors, Chefs, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
“Oh, you mean baketivism? I just made that word up. I think that activism isn’t what you decide to do but how it affects people. So if someone says, I’m going to become an activist! I’m going to stand on a street corner and preach about veganism! And then they go ahead and do that but no one listens and no one becomes vegan, then is that activism? On the other hand, maybe there’s a girl in the middle of nowhere who loves animals and decided to bake vegan. And then people taste her cupcakes and are like “What the hell, I’ll go vegan, too.” Obviously I think the latter is more effective, but I guess people might not see it as activism.”
—-Isa Chandra Moskowitz on a different, definitely tastier method of activism, in an interview with vegnews.com.

All activism and protests should feature veg food.
