Culture Learned. Process of learning one's culture is called enculturation.
Shared by the members of a society. No "culture of one."
Patterned. People in a society live and think in ways that form definite patterns.
Mutually constructed through a constant process of social interaction.
Symbolic. Culture, language and thought are based on symbols and symbolic meanings.
Arbitrary. Not based on "natural laws" external to humans, but created by humans according to the "whims" of the society.
Example: Standards of beauty.
Internalized. Habitual. Taken-for-granted. Perceived as "natural."
Dr. Kathleen A. Dahl, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Eastern Oregon University, http://www2.eou.edu/~kdahl/cultdef.html

“The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?”
Jeremy Bentham, Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, 1789
“If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration.”

What is “Animal Rights”?
Animal rights is the philosophy of allowing non-human animals to have the most basic rights that all sentient beings desire: the freedom to live a natural life free from human exploitation, unnecessary pain and suffering, and premature death.
http://stopanimalcruelty.co.uk/netcuwatch/wiar.htm
Animal rights in a nutshell is the belief that all animals (which includes human beings) should not be abused, enslaved, tortured, murdered or otherwise cruelly treated.

Pigs in Perpetual Prison“Real-life ‘Babes’ see no sun in their limited lives, with no hay to lie on, no mud to roll in. The sows live in tiny cages, so narrow they can’t even turn around.”

Human Supremacy White Supremacy
“Not only did the domestication of animals provide the model and inspiration for human slavery and tyrannical government, but it laid the groundwork for western hierarchical thinking and European and American racial theories that called for the conquest and exploitation of ‘lower races,’ while at the same time vilifying them as animals so as to encourage and justify their subjugation.”
Charles Patterson, Eternal Treblinka, 2002, p. 27

Systematic human rights violations:
Employers put workers at predictable risk of serious physical injury even though the means to avoid such injury are known and feasible.
Meatpacking work has extraordinarily high rates of injury. Workers injured on the job may then face dismissal.
Immigrant workers who are undocumented, as many are, risk deportation if they seek to organize and to improve conditions.

Environmental Exploitation “The way that we breed animals for food is a threat to the planet. It pollutes our environment while consuming huge amounts of water, grain, petroleum, pesticides and drugs. The results are disastrous.”

Environmental Exploitation “Millions of gallons of
liquefied feces and urine seeped into the environment from collapsed, leaking or overflowing storage lagoons [like the one shown above at a pig factory farm], and flowed into rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands and groundwater.”

What is Vegan? Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude
the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind.
The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns.
Various polls have reported vegans to be between 0.2% and 1.3% of the U.S. population.

Step 1: Start with Favorite Familiar Meals
Make a list of favorite meals and snacks (including those from restaurants where you eat often).
Identify meals that are vegetarian or that can be made meatless with a few small changes.
Most pizzerias will happily load your pizza with fresh veggies and skip the fatty cheese.
Chinese restaurants will keep the eggs out of you fried rice if you ask.

Step 2: Experiment with Substitutes
There is a stunning variety of soy and vegetable based meat substitutes on the market that make the transition to meatless meals easier than ever.
You’ll find a variety of veggie burgers, meatless hot dogs,meatless deli meats and other meat replacers in natural foods stores and even in many regular supermarkets.

Step 4: Look Beyond Dairy & Eggs
Look for vegan versions of cheese, butter, yogurt, milk, and mayonnaise. Soy Grains (rice milk) Nuts (almond milk)
Substitute these in recipes where dairy, eggs, or mayonnaise are called for.
