Facebook as a means for change

I use it frequently with mixed reactions

I don't get a lot of reactions to the things I post on Facebook. I don't really post any vegetarian/vegan stuff because I know the people I have on there won't change that part of their lives and I don't want them to feel I am being rude to them by asking them to change their life choices (best way to push people away from wanting to make a difference).

I do post a lot about the conditions that factory farmed animals face, which I hope will help people understand that there are better ways, either by choosing free range, cutting down or giving it up. Frankly, any one of those three would be a win. Prompting and encouraging people to give up meat is good, but I don't like it when vegans or vegetarians keep pressing the point that no meat is cruelty free to people who eat meat, it's not encouraging and wont help the animals trapped in tiny cages (even though it is a true fact). The best way is to be gentle and work your ideas and opinions on meat eating in slowly and gently. That's just my opinion though.

I think by posting some of AA's informative videos on pork, chicken or egg production etc, you get the advantage of people seeing the conditions in which their food comes from. Some won't care, but many will be put off and may even be inspired to take action.

I only really get the occasional like, but I am thankful I don't get any nasty comments.
