Description
Diary of a (Vegan) Activist
Book Summary
A first-person testimony that dismantles the myths of veganism and exposes the contradiction between our empathy for companion animals and our indifference toward other species. Through a personal diary, the author invites the reader to question their relationship with food, consumption, and animal justice. A work that not only informs but transforms the way we look at the world.

Starting from everyday questions, such as why we feel tenderness for some animals and not others, the author explores the foundations of veganism as an ethical stance against animal exploitation. Each diary entry reveals a process of awareness that goes beyond diet, covering topics such as activism, personal consistency, and the fight against systemic injustice.
