What actions step by step should we do to finally come to a vegan world?

SMILE And be fabulous, happy, and full of positive energy!

Seriously, I think it is good to lead by example. People I haven't seen in a while remark on how much healthier and better I seem, and people I've just met usually remark at the way I tuck into a beautiful vegetarian dish with such enthusiasm! I think people associate being vegan with depriving yourself, so they are interested to find out a little more about it if you are outwardly cheerful and enjoying life.

Secondly, education is important. It never fails to amaze me how little people know about their food: how it's farmed, how milk is obtained, and the conditions in which meat is packed and processed. Horse-meat is often a thought-provoking talking point - I work with Italians who usually find it hilarious that British people will eat beef but not horse! Maybe the vegan society or similar could provide some information packs / worksheets for schools? When I was at school we had pro-meat worksheets provided by the Ministry of Agriculture (or whatever they were called at the time).
