Vegan Bake Sales and “Domestic Terrorist” Aprons on CNN

Apr 30th, 2010 by Will Potter

cnn vegan bake sale domestic terrorist apronCNN has a great article up, “Global bake sale is ‘sweet’ vegan activism.” It features the fantastic Jasmin Singer of Our Hen House, who has what may be the best quote I have ever seen on CNN:

(CNN) — When animal rights activist Jasmin Singer found herself face to face with a scientist who conducts animal testing, a cupcake was exchanged instead of harsh words.

“A good vegan cupcake has the power to transform everything for the better,” Singer said. “It’s almost like a political statement with icing.”

The accompanying slideshow has photos of vegan bake sales, including one in New York City where the lovely Sarah is wearing a “domestic terrorist” apron from GreenIsTheNewRed.com!

    I'm an activist pulled over for an illegal, profile-based traffic violation that I did not commit, and then my vehicle was illegally searched and property seized. The site will explain things. My friends at Thomas Paine's Corner actually posted a blog about my case; I would be thrilled if you would do the same! Please contact me if you would like any more specific information about all the horrible, corrupt, illegal things they have built their case out of. Thank you.

    We all recognize the power in the passive aggressive tactic of sweet treats. More significant is the rate of child starvation at one every four seconds (as I read at WorldVision.Org) that can be remedied by the widespread shift to plant-based lifestyles. Much more would be possible, and the economic strife is rooted in the unsustainable waste of grain and fresh water in animal agriculture.

    The nearer to direct sunlight we consume energy, our vibration raises accordingly. Reduce depression and anxiety by alleviating the stress and pain from helpless animals by refusing the demand of blood lust at every meal. We can call it what it is “oppression”. There is nothing like that occurring, nor threatening to the main stream populace, due to the actions or ideologies of Earth and Animal Liberationists.

    “Power concedes nothing without a demand.” -Fredrick Douglas
