Really, Vegan Mainstream?

What. The. Hell?!
What's in this post
This from an anti-vegan website who apparently has their shit together more than a vegan website:
“Vegan Mainstream” Names Lierre Keith the #8 Great Vegan Activist
Alicia Silverstone and mad cowboy Howard Liman are ranked higher than the author of the anti-veganism book The Vegetarian Myth, but Lierre Keith has apparently done more for veganism than T. Colin Campbell:
Lierre Keith is an author and vegan activist. She has written “The Vegetarian Myth” which explains the importance of sustainability, as well as her political beliefs. She has spent twenty years as a vegan and holds the earth and all its belongings close to her heart. Lierre takes her activist position seriously and speaks regularly at different events all over the country.
They’ll realize their mistake and replace her with John Robbins by the end of the day.
And if I didn’t have such a headache about it, I’d tell you all about the “greatness” of their activists- most of which, are celebrities.

Lierre Keith is not vegan and has done nothing for the vegan movement. I had one vegan friend who after reading her book, stopped being vegan. There are amazing vegans out there who have a positive impact and do so much to spread the vegan message and are much more deserving than this flexitarian Lierre Keith, who should not be considered for any such lists and putting her in it shows that VM needs to look up the true meaning of the word before making any future posts on the subject.
VM BLOG POST UPDATE:
Although Lierre Keith is listed in Vegan Mainstream’s blog among the Top 10 Great Vegan Activists, VM realizes that Keith has come under fire for some of her views. Her opinions are controversial and admittedly, some think her outlook flies in of the face of ideal vegan philosophy.
While VM could have chosen another representative to include in the list of activists, and perhaps should have, we realize that she has brought attention to the vegan movement.
However, we have decided to remove her from the list.
BTW, the Top 10 List is just that, a list, and is not a ranking based on contributions to veganism.
