I have a lot of new Followers after the post about @gaia_donut ! Welcome, everyone! 💚 This is #eristhedestroyer at rest after hard work, kneady pawing my leg and suckling this fuzzy blanket like a newborn kitten. She's almost two years old and has a purrsonality split between fearful aggression and fierce territoriality, and being super codependent and kitteny. I am soaked with drool. 😸 As for me, I am the resident anti-vegan in that I'm basically allergic to most vegan foods. Vegetables? Yep, allergic to... dozens of them. There's a very short list of Safe plant foods. I can eat eggs and meat just fine though. I really resent the idea that somehow a vegan diet is somehow more ethical and will lead me to be healthy again. 😨 No, it will lead me to be dead. My ancestors came from frozen grasslands. It makes sense that I'd get a weird gene set that wouldn't let me eat more Southern-grown agriculture. 🙄 But I do have friends who are the opposite! The have to remove most animal products to eat safely. Diversity is supposed to be a good thing! 🍩 Food safety (and security) for everyone. That also means more ethics in food production- not only in meat production standards, but also in changing how we allow and enforce human slavery in foods to get ALL foods we eat. Human slavery and trafficking is common in the USA to produce tomatoes, tobacco, pomegranates, wheat, fish, and all sorts of foods we consume- even those from "ethical" companies via for-profit prisons. 👥 You can read about this issue and speak up about it by seeing how our 13th Amendment allows for slavery *if* a crime is committed, giving financial incentive to keep anperson in prison for even minor infractions for as long as possible to create cheap or free goods, and educating yourself via your local library online through bools such as "The New Jim Crow". 🖤 Clearly, we have a long way to go towards ethics in food production and distribution. #foodallergyawareness #foodsafety #foodallergies #foodsensitivity #foodallergylife #glutenfree #veganfood #ethicsinfood #kittehs #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catsoninstagram #catstagram #mainecoons #thenewjimcrow #forprofitprisonsmustgo #13thamendment https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_abRXpZrW/?igshid=178s00jo8zfiu
