Music. So I want to take this time to discuss a particularly stupid thing I saw recently in the news. There was a group of protesters, vegans, who basically stormed into Harrod's department store over the weekend and decided to go to their grocery section, namely their dairy section, and basically start stomping on cheese and taking every single bottle of milk and pouring it onto the floor in protest. And they were saying they were doing this because of the mistreatment of cows
I wanted to chime in just because I knew exactly what you were talking about when you started talking about it, but all I can do is share in the empathy with you for it because I don't know that there's a solution. There's a cognitive dissonance, no doubt, but then the same people who have that opinion that would be willing to pour milk out on the floor world also say that people who eat meat and have pets have a cognitive dissonance, too
But it's hard to try to dictate what people should eat and what they shouldn't eat. We have to remember that human beings are animals. And as animals do, we still have that instinct to I want to say hunt for food, but we do consume other animals like any other animal does. And that's another privilege that we have. We have this privilege that, well, you know what? I don't need meat. I don't want to eat meat

I think people have taken this is what I say, protesting without change is just to me a massive group meeting, right? That's what it is to me. Again, my perspective. So when people get all up in arms and there's no change, I'm like, what was it for champion of women rights, the civil rights movement? There were change. There weren't just issues that we talked about
