non-vegans will act like being called out for not respecting another life deserves the same reaction than someone telling them to, i don’t know, pick the red shirt instead of the blue shirt.

“stop telling me what to do with my life! it’s my body!”

for once, it’s not about you, u walnut. you have blood on your hands.

Vegans believe that humans have no right to kill or make animals suffer unnecessarily. Since vegans view the production of animal products as inherently involving animal suffering, animal products are consistently rejected. Human rights, such as freedom and integrity, are extended to animals by vegans. They identify with animals and feel personally affected by their suffering. As a result of this strong empathy, all forms of animal farming and animal use by humans are generally rejected, particularly conventional animal husbandry.

all the people talking about "humane animal ag" and "humane slaughter" i'm begigng you to look up the actual standards in your country, what they mean and if there is any data that looks at how well they are implemented.

what does free range actually mean for the animal? how much space is alotted per pig in the production of organic pork? how are animals stunned prior to slaughter? is there evidence on how effective that stunning is? how many farms break these welfare standards? how often are they inspected? is the inspection announced beforehand? what happens if they fail the inspection? etc.

don't just believe what these meat giants tell you, just as you would not believe everything that nestlé or vattenfall tell you about the substainability of their production

and I understand so much that the scale of the problem can leave you feeling powerless. Especially if you are powerless to make certain important changes (like using public transport/walking/biking somewhere).

But the thing is that many online activists who encourage the change of personal habits know that, and acknowledge that and yet their comments are still full of Americans telling them that it is actually ableist and classist to suggest that buying ugly holiday phone cases for the entire friend group is unnecessary pollution.

You can feel powerless and still have good faith discussions about personal consumption, and engage with the topic honestly. But that is not what the people in these comments are doing.

some of the top comments on a hank green reel about climate change.

this attitude is honestly terrifying and also infuriating to me. Yes, billionaires are the main polluters of this planet, far disproportionate to their number.

but the fact that to so many (us-american) leftists, "tax the rich" and "expropriate billionaires" has turned into people living in some of the richest countries on the planet convincing themselves that their consumption and living habits bear no responsibility in climate change makes me feel sick

believing in that to the point of saying CARS are not harmful for the planet? have these people lost their fucking minds? and of course, its only ever other countries which are to blame....

its exactly these takes that you encounter in anti-vegan rethoric as well. as soon as anyone demands a change of these people, they bend over backwards and use leftist internet lingo to say that asking them to change is akin to being a facist or whatever

best place to buy nutritional yeast?

depends on where you live! I live in Germany, and I like the nutritional yeast by veganz and vantastic. I absolutely do not like the one by dm (Bierhefe).

But even though I really do try to avoid Amazon, I have found that their nooch is often waay cheaper, comes in bigger packages and tastes really good. If you tell me where you live, maybe my followers can help?

Animals have never given you their bodies or anything that comes from their bodies, don’t pretend like they have. If you’re going to participate in animal exploitation the very least you can do is admit that you take these things from them and you were never promised their lives or livelihoods nor granted any entitlement to do so.

It’s fucking sad that society has shamed me into feeling like a tool for saying, “No thank you, I’m vegan,” when offered certain foods. Some people just get so uncomfortable and deffensive when they know you’re vegan that it’s literally safer to say, “Nah I’m just not hungry.”
