Your scope is even more narrow. Your writing skills are good, but I wouldn't limit your focus to just vegetarianism.

Hi teknoaxe,
Thanks again for reading a bit of my thread!
I agree that singing songs just about vegetarianism would be a narrow focus. That is one reason I write *vegan* songs, rather than only *vegetarian* songs.
Veganism, to me, simply means striving to be kind to sentient beings, who include oneself, other humans, and non-human animals. So vegan songs can cover a near limitless range of topics, such as genital cutting, war, hunting, women's rights, and body hair!
Vegetarian songs, in contrast, focus on the topic of eating animals and are a
subset of vegan songs.
The difference between veganism and vegetarianism is demonstrated by considering Adolf Hitler. Hitler was vegetarian. He was *not* vegan, although he may actually have had sympathy for livestock animals
Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Hitler was not vegan, of course, because he authorized and organized the slaughter of millions of people, especially Jewish people.
HITLER - *NOT* VEGAN!!!
P.S. What I find so sad about Hitler is that he certainly was capable of compassion in many areas of his life. Here he is as a child, below.
I often wonder, do people who commit atrocities usually recognize that they are committing atrocities? Hitler, for example, genuinely felt he was doing a good thing for humanity by killing the "sub-human" members. If killing animals is an atrocity, would we expect a society of people to acknowledge or feel this? Or would people think they are doing a good thing for humanity by killing and eating animals?
