Hey,
I am a full-out Vegan in High school.
Tomorrow my Psychology class is going to start a project involving eating or using M&Ms.
Firstly, Mars company contributes a lot to animal cruelty.
Secondly, I do not consume dairy because of the cruelty that goes on in the dairy "farms".
Giving my M&Ms to someone else would be hypocritical in my opinion since it is encouraging them to consume them.
Also, though my teacher already bought them, I still feel that even one M&M not eaten can contribute to stopping the over-crowding and terrible conditions of the dairy cows.
Should I sit out and recieve a zero on that assignment but stand up for what I believe in, though it may offend people somehow, or should I give in because it is no big deal?
