Goin' all Shaker on us
Apparently, one of the latest developments in the vegan community--in New Zealand anyways--is abstaining from sex with meat-eaters.
Now granted, this group isn't refusing to have sex entirely, but as current estimates of vegan incidence in the general population are generally at 1% or less, that kinda makes hooking up a non-starter.
Any group/organization/trend/etc. which includes voluntary limitation of procreative activity on such a drastic scale has signed its own death-warrant. Happened to the Shakers a while back (down to four members as of 2006). The only reason the Roman model of celibate priests survives is because the rest of the Roman church has plenty of babies.
Nah. Vegan's aren't the first to call for not sleeping with the enemy. Christians aren't supposed to either, and they seem to be doing okay. The trick is to keep sleeping with each other.
