I saw someone make a similar post and didn't want to distract from that one by adding on: On this Valentine’s Day please don’t forget about the genocide in the Congo. An ongoing issue in the Congo and nearby countries is that enslaving children to pick cocoa nuts is common practice in the chocolate industry. People buy lots of chocolate candies during Valentine's day, contributing to this human rights crisis.
I recommend referencing the chocolate list from The Food Empowerment Project (FEP) before purchasing chocolate whenever possible. FEP is an organization that advocates veganism and does a ton of research and activism around the rights of agricultural workers. The chocolate list is a culmination into which chocolate brands are likely and unlikely to be sourcing their chocolate from the areas of the world where slavery is most rampant. They have a desktop version, as well as a mobile app. I find the mobile app easier to use, fwiw.

ppl clearly just hate veganism because the idea that something you’ve done since you were born is bad is uncomfortable
like no vegans are not more likely to be eco fascists whst the hell are you talking about
like i can see the reasoning but it doesn’t make it true
yes there’s vegan fascists just like there’s fascists who will follow basically any philosophy you can find
you just have a problem specifically with veganism because it makes you uncomfortable

Soooooo, I may have seen something that bee post with like a million notes. I suddenly can't find it, but if you haven't seen it, it basically amounted to "vegans can eat honey. it doesn't hurt the bees. They actually prefer it. They make too much and it means a giant ape protects them from predators and the elements. It's a win win. They could leave at any point but they don't unless their beekeeper is doing a bad job taking care of them. Them staying the closest thing to consent for use of an animal product as you can get."
Obviously, big companies still do things that we shouldn't ignore, but local bee keepers and hobby beekeepers often treat their 20,000-80,000 little pets very well. (Obviously, you should still judge on an individual basis)
Anyway, I may have spent an hour and a half making this:

It's supposed to be a Twitter header kinda thing. Feel free to use it! (Let me know if you do? You don't have to, I just like knowing when people like my art :)

I want to put here as a pre-commitment that even if I someday experience something health-wise that makes me start incorporating animal products back into my diet, I'm not going to fail with abandon--I'm still going to do my best to minimize harm to animals with my diet. Currently, this is the order in which I would start incorporating things:
(1) Dairy products--from extremely vetted-on-ethics sources, we're talking calling up the Hare Krishnas to ask about their Ahimsa cows
(2) Oysters and mussels (in truth, I do eat these very occasionally, but I don't seek them out. I'd go for smoked not raw though because nobody wants vibrio infections)
(3) Wild caught salmon (the idea being that these are caught close ish to the end of their life cycle so you are not robbing a young animal of its natural lifespan)
(4) If I had the opportunity to find eggs where (a) there was no killing-at-birth of the male chicks and (b) there was acceptable conditions for the laying hens, I would incorporate eggs (or raise chickens myself if it were somehow an option)
This isn't something I foresee happening but I wanted to put this here for some sense of social accountability.

Honestly upsetting that no one is making vegan dino nuggets. Companies should stop assuming that all vegans are fancy rich people and realize that most of us are gay and hungry for dinos.

I'm happy to say this is my month mark of no meat!! The cravings dissipated and I honestly don't see it as food anymore. I'm excited for the months/years to come.
Now I'm going to start going plant based.

I really like cannibalism as a concept in fiction bc idk it does something for me
but i can’t help but feel that - as a vegan - a lot of the whole ‘dystopia where human meat is farmed or consumed on a mass scale’
Is almost always inherently vegan. Almost. (Obviously cannibalism can be a stand in for other things/issues as well)
And i feel like a large majority of media can sort of lose its way because it doesn’t acknowledge that it’s subject matter is kind of really very vegan in nature?
Like ok. You have a story about aliens coming to earth and treating humans like farm animals, and you’re gonna argue that it’s not about animal exploitation and the farming industry? that it’s not the sort of thing PETA (ew) would do in an ad campaign? (they literally did this as an ad campaign lol)
I think that’s what makes this brand of media so disturbing to us - because we know what we’re doing to some animals, and we know we wouldn’t like it very much.
So i can’t help but wonder what the point of creating this sort of media is without having that subtext of ‘hey um. maybe we shouldn’t do this to animals?’

Speaking as a disabled person, it really rubs me the wrong way when people focus on an animal's "purpose," whether that's domesticated animals such as dogs and cows, or wild animals such as mosquitoes and wasps. Nothing needs a reason to exist. You don't have to be useful for your life to matter.

god i actually hate this post so much and people keep reblogging it like theyre making a good point
Tumblr media
idc what your thoughts on animals rights is i dont really care when people eat meat most of the time but you cannot seriously believe that animals have it better on farms than in nature even on the best farm you could find there are just things you’re gonna do that inherently suck for the animals you’re farming we have purposefully altered the bodies of the animals we farm so we can farm them better and harvest more out of them, chicken arent supposed to lay that many eggs! sheep arent supposed to grow so much wool they literally die if they arent shorn! how is that not domination!!!
there is so much more things i could say but seeing ignorant shit like this just makes me so fucking upset
this is not a sweet gig, we have bred species into subservience and you're acting like we are doing them a favour
im sure you could think of a hypothetical farm thats just so sweet and nice to the animals and only harvests what they dont need or can be replaced and only kills animals when theyve had a nice long life but even disregarding how this is just fully a pipe dream it still wouldnt be rid of so many aspects inherent to farming and i cant take how weird this website can be about veganism and animal rights it makes me wanna rip my face off

Who Said Vegan Food Wasn't Nutritious
Tumblr media
The veg meal has been vindicated by many Aussies who are embracing this diet as their very preferred food to be eaten.
That makes you trendy and cool and acceptable among your friend’s base, be it at college or office.
It’s been much into the scene these days due to hundreds and thousands of factors, the Vegan Restaurants are a topic of Australia’s interest. Why would we want to go vegan when the cooler, better, trendier hangout options are just around the corner.
A decent chunk of the new generation in the western world, are considering or incorporating more vegan options, because:
It has been acknowledged since some years ago, the citizens from Scandinavian nations have considerably cut off their diet. They declined nearly 2 kilograms of less meat in their consumption per person every year.
In fact, in other nations, youth is embracing the humane food routines where zealous meat-eating was entrenched. The approximations are about 20% of the new generation opting old meals in new means.
The mushrooming of vegan restaurants are on the way due to yet another rationale which interestingly states that
Low-income communities are one considerable cause due to which feeding everyone becomes necessary.
This could also be a very sound way to save the animal kingdom and if not putting an end, then at least reducing it to a substantial extent.
By estimating savings significantly on the economic level, researchers claim it to be a new hop-on onto a path of salvation from food shortage, climate changes, cost-effective living, and population growth.
It is genuinely good to contemplate in regard to the animals being tortured for the mere sake of human desires. So, for such causes, animal products are given a miss by Aussies by ending their sufferings, may it be due to the need for flesh, skin, teeth or milk.
Therefore, these are the reasons why more and more Australians are jumping away from non-vegetarian food habits.

Bitches will yell at their friends who adopt cats from shelters that painlessly put down animals that are not going to be adopted, and do it while eating a chicken sandwich from a bird that was tortured for 8 weeks and then potentially boiled alive

Side note: I'm 8 days vegan and doing great. My digestion is better, my face less puffy, and my joints feel really nice. I need to get better about planning meals but I've made some cool stuff that's yummy so that's a win. The way I see food has totally transformed.
