Before veganism had venture capital, before oat milk had a stock ticker, before a single influencer had ever said “plant-based girlie”, there was Alicia Silverstone, going vegan in 1998 because of a conversation she had with her own dog.<\/p>\n
Not a metaphorical conversation. She looked at her rescue dog and asked herself the question that ended it all, as she told Vegan Food & Living<\/a>: “If I’m not willing to eat you, how can I continue to eat these other creatures?” Twenty-eight years later, she still hasn’t found a counterargument.<\/p>\n
