i am dying from lactose deficiency

#coping by eating chocolates even tho i greatly would prefer eating anything else made of real dairy not this fake yellow crap #that tastes nothing like milk or cheese or butter #protip if you ever go to asia DO NOT order any food with cheese as the centerpiece unless mozarella. if yellow DO NOT GET IT #it tastes awful i thought it was just my country but apparently this is the same everywhere tastes like weirdly sweet vomit #nothing like cheese whatsoever absolutely putrid. feeling starved. cos i am due to being a poorfag #&even it i were not i would still starve because i live in a village in the middle of nowhere so it is either jungle river food or #fake microplastic food or no food at all so i choose no food at all Sorry about it ! well i eat mangos which are actually delicious #if sweet if not it tastes horrible &as long as the mango is not too stringy/hairy i can eat loads of them #anyway i was right i WOULD die without dairy that is the answer to the query ( haha ) ( sorry... ) #i am disintegrating into dust canny even drink water because you will get diseases if you drink from the tap #am not posh enough to afford plastic bottles #also i know the reason why this is with the fake horrible dairy is cos like most of asia is lactose intolerant (i did not carry that gene) #( i would say thank God but i would be demolishing wheels of edam still even if i was ) #&also they do not have milk cows. imagine living here &growing up here i kiss my palm front &back that i was not this is hell #also there are no local tomato paste brand this is actually almost like a torture simulation made specifically for me #where would i be without dairy #now i know the answer. starved

I don't see why u couldn't be vegan and still use some animal products as long as they're ethical like say, local wool from a small farm or something?

ok ok food ethicality is a fun topic so ur gonna get a bit of a rant ok!!

so, yes. youre absolutly right. but for background, i was raised vegetarian in a low waste household that priorotized health food and local food over nearly any other foods, so i’ve had a passion for eating ethically since i was little. I hated the idea that animals were killed, and i wanted to keep them from dying. When i was around 14ish i realized that things arent that simple. That i was siding with the factually incorrect propoganda of peta instead of the facts, and i educated myself. See, radical vegans would like you to believe that there is only one way to eat ethically, and that is to eat a strict vegan diet. No beeswax, no white sugar, nothing with certain food dyes, nothing. Some people go even further than this, committing to paleo, zero waste, or even hunting and growing all of their own food. The problem with the above diets is this: They are expensive, hard to access materials for in certain areas, can be unsustainable for disabled people, and in the end, end up having a lot of money spent on equipment and food that is in the end, created unethically. For me, my vegetarianism is radical in another way. I choose to not eat meat to boycott the harmful meat industry and to not allow corportations to profit off of me. But, in all fairness, i could do this the exact same way by consuming only local meat, and there would be around the same enviromental impact. So, the idea of veganism is similar, except there are more restrictions. Now, radical vegans will tell you that honey and wool are both very unethical. But they’re not, at least not always. Supporting the bees is so much better for the enviroment than not. Buying local honey and beeswax and supporting local beekeepers is such an awesome way of supporting the enviroment. With wool, sheep benifit heavily from being shorn, and dont risk overheating or having itchy or irritated skin! Shearing doesnt hurt the sheep, and in fact benefits them! Its another thing that buying it locally is a great way of supporting local farmers. If you’re crafty, you can even spin your own yarn from wool, and its a great way of creating ethical clothes! The issue is these are still animal products, so it is a bit of a debate in the vegan community. Personally, if i do decide to go vegan, i will probably still use honey and wool. As for leather, i will always repeat the buying seconhand leather is the best way, seeing as most fake leathers leech microplastics and dont last as long. and as i end any of my ethical eating rants, theres no one way to eat ethically, there are ways to consume meat ethically, indiginous tribes consume meat more ethically than vegans consume tofu, eating ethically is a luxury and not sustainable for most people, dont try and convert ppl to diets, what ppl eat is not your concern, fuck capitalism, eat invasive species, and only you can decide if you want to try eating ethically. Have a nice day!
