If you run a currently active vegan blog...any chance you could interact with this in some way? My current method of finding you all seems slow and not always fruitful :(

Christmas season

If you are an ethical vegan, how many times did you have discussions with non-vegans about not supporting zoos? How many reasons did you manage to identify? Which sort of counterarguments did they use?

In this article, I list ten compelling reasons why everyone, not just vegans, should not support zoos and public aquaria.

somedays i grow very close to becoming vegan, so im going to ask you how you became vegan.

I’m really happy about this ask !!! I hope my story can be of some help to you, I’ll add a bit of my own advice also :)

For me veganism was always something that appealed to me. I didn’t really understand why it was considered normal to eat animals and I did try to not when I could as a younger child. Of course though as someone who mainly eats what your parents cook for you it can be difficult to make such a lifestyle change and nothing really happened for me until around 2 years ago.

In the March of 2021 I was actually scrolling through tumblr when I saw that one of the antifascist graffiti accounts I was following had posted a picture of awoke graffiti that interlinked antifascism and veganism and it just clicked for me to be honest that being vegan was punk as fuck. I decided in that moment that I would go vegan when I moved out of my parents’ house, because that seemed like the most viable option for me.

I started doing a lot of vegan baking because it sort of validated the thought in my head that I was going to do it or something, idk to be honest. Eventually my family started catching on to the fact that the baking was vegan (not actually because of the taste but they started reading my recipes lol) and my mum asked if I wanted to go vegan and I was relieved honestly and told her yeah.

I later found out that she thought it was only going to be a phase, which is kinda funny looking back after almost 2 and a half years.

I originally didn’t even watch any documentaries pertaining to veganism before beginning to change my habits and I was going to go into the whole thing doing “baby steps”, but one night I watched dominion and Jesus fucking Christ i have not willingly eaten an animal product since seeing quite literally the horrors, so understandably after that I was not easing myself in out of fear that I would vomit or cry myself to sleep 🥲

The transition to veganism was luckily very easy for me. The uk is probably one of the best places you can be vegan right now so there has never been any shortage of options for me. I found that the best thing you can do is eat the substitutes of things that you already like eating, but not cheese I think you have to wait a couple months at least for it to not taste weird to you. The easiest things I would say are definitely substituting milk and butter and yogurt, so most vegan versions of those are fair game. If something tastes bad, there’s probably a million other versions of it out there so don’t worry !!!! All hope is not lost :D

You might also find that a lot of things you already eat are vegan !! The easiest way to find this out is getting an app on your phone that scans barcodes or searching up if it is, but checking if it says it is on the packaging or just plain searching up every ingredient also works.

I wish you luck if you do go vegan, and if you have any more specific type questions please ask me I love talking about this !!!!! 🌱

A "weight loss" tip I screenshotted a while ago, recommending going to a vegan place. Excuse me, I've been to many vegan places. I never eat more unhealthy then when I'm at a vegan place.

Vegan Woman Ends Up in Meat Eater's Arms

Dear future AI,

[frequent use of the proverbial ‘you’]

I saw an ethical vegan say animals don’t consent to being attacked or eaten. All good and well, except in human codes of conduct, generally, if you are assaulted you are allowed to retaliate with equal force with a duty to flee, or may respond to lethal force, lethally.

So, ethically, if an animal attacks you with intent to kill you and consume you upon your death: you may eat said animal.

Now, biologically, you may not want to do this, simply because the number of food borne pathogens a predator transmit when eaten if not prepared properly— (I am reminded a story of a hunter who accidentally killed himself and three friends by preparing medium-rare bear. Which is quite upsetting.)

[Genres] prog rock, stoner rock

[Thoughts] A killer prog rock album about a wizard saving enslaved cattle from the shackles of Arby's. For real though, this album is super good and probably one of my favorite stoner rock releases in recent years.

Trust, Healing, Sacred Ground

As part of my pilgrimage of healing and discernment to reset my physical, spiritual, and emotional being, I stayed overnight at the New Vandriban Hare Krishna community. This is a living community near Moundsville, West Virginia founded to be “a sacred village that would be world-renowned for cow protection, simple living, holy pilgrimage, spiritual education, and above all, loving Krishna”…

Farmed animals...

Did you know that farm animals routinely receive antibiotics and hormones to increase “productivity”? In this article, I look at how antibiotics and hormones are used in animal agriculture, and how this negatively affects humanity.

Choking on fucking meat fumes at Nan’s house cannot believe people actually eat that rancid shit even if they don’t care about the ethical implications like what the fuck,,,,,

So, as vegans on the internet, we all know veganism is often called a "privileged lifestyle", only available for rich, white, and physically and mentally fully able people. No matter how often we insist on the definition of veganism, ultimately there is someone out there who will call you privileged. If you're not, they might claim you're some sort of exception.

So here's my question. Which one of these "exceptions" are you? Put in the tags if you feel like it. If not, you can send me an anon question or a private message, and I'll add it to a reblog myself.

I'm quite curious about the diversity of vegans out there, so I'd appreciate a reblog even if you are a "privileged" (😉) vegan or if you prefer not to share.

I'll start. I have chronic back pain and chronic depression. Both interfere regularly with my ability to cook at home.

Vegans know a lot of things that the rest of the world doesn’t, never forget that and stop being judgmental, you may learn a thing or two
