I respect vegans' love of animals, really I think animals deserve more compassion than they get. I am personally not vegan. I do not think it is wrong to eat the body of something that was once alive. Tbh thats including humans given the individual had consented, (ideally similar to how organ donations work). I think it is wrong to torture animals such as what factory farms do, I'm a strong believer in small-scale hunting and ethical farming, we as a species have been eating meat in some capacity for thousands of years, the best we can currently do is be kind about it. It's something we have to reconcile with as a species. Truly I don't think a vegan revolution will be viable until we have affordable lab-grown meat.

I disagree with everything you said, heres why. -"I respect animals" then immediately proceeds to call them "things". You respect humans because you considered their consent and previous lives in the matter and how your action may have affected them, you did not with animals. Animals do not consent to being raped farmed and slaughtered. Meat doesnt come from the sky. Vegans dont revere dead bodies either. This is not some religious crap. We care about the harm being caused to the living as a result of paying an evil industry and supporting an evil practice. We want to stop the breeding of animals for the sake of exploiting them. Vegans do not necessarily love nonhuman animals at all. Plenty dislike being around or are indifferent to nonhuman animals. Veganism is not rescue, its not about having a sex-buyer-like savior boner for them like carnists do. It's just sparing them and leaving them the fuck alone and not tormenting them. -The only way small farms are consistently "more ethical" is just that not as many animals are being abused. Any revolting disgusting practice you have seen a large scale farm practice, I have seen a small scale farmer do the same or worse. I have seen farmers prostituting their barn animals, I've seen countless horrific hoarding cases that arent technically illegal and so no one can do anything about it, I've seen every horrific practice from teeth cutting and tail docking to too small enclosures, shutting animals out to intentionally cause them to die by exposure, killing with a hammer etc etc etc. -There is no such thing as ethical exploitation. The animals in hunting zones are raised in game farms. Even if they werent, hunting is not ethical. I've seen deer with their jaws blown off slowly starving to death and every kind of terrible injury you can imagine, many inflicted on purpose. Not to mention how hunting is a practice that attracts sadists and abusers and preens their violent tendencies, increasing rates of domestic violence. -Appeal to tradition fallacy. And no it's not the best we can do lmfao veganism and not killing them is very obviously better than "being nice about how we kill them". You dont have to reconcile shit. Stop doing it. Literally just stop. Spare them. You have other food available that is nutritionally complete and cheaper that takes less resources to grow and distribute. A vegan revolution is and always has been viable since the dawn of man. People were opposing animal agriculture since it's inception. Pythagorus and his students didnt need lab grown meat in 470 BCE. Benjamin Lay didnt accept slavery of humans or animals in any capacity and refused to use horses and lived just fine. Coretta Scott King and Dexter Scott King both spoke of veganism being the next logical step to antislavery and were vegan animal rights activists. Alex Hershaft. I could go on and on and on. Please discuss this more with me if you are interested, or spend time immersing yourself in content made by animal rights activists and learn what we are actually trying to inform people of.

3300–1300 BC: first known vegetarian societies appear in what is today India

Check out the history of veganism

Veganism as a concept originated in the mid-20th century. Here are some notable milestones in the history of veganism: The Vegan Society: In 1944, the Vegan Society was founded in the United Kingdom by Donald Watson and his associates. They coined the term “vegan” to describe a vegetarian diet that excludes all animal products. Ethical Motivations: While vegetarianism had been practiced for…

#oh we have a holiday?#vegan#how should i celebrate?#do..do i make a cake or other sweet treat?

Yes, we have a holiday!

World Vegan Day was first celebrated in 1994, so this was the 31st one. It was established by the Vegan Society on the 50th anniversary of the organisation, which was started in November 1944 with the publication of a newsletter called "The Vegan News". The exact day the Vegan Society was founded is unknown, so they picked 1 November because it would then coincide with Halloween, Samhain, and the Day of the Dead.

1 October is World Vegetarian Month and October is Vegetarian Awareness Month, so it's also a fitting follow-up to that. November is now also recognised as World Vegan Month. I live in Belgium and there are many vegan events all over the country this month. I imagine this might be the case in other countries as well.

You can celebrate however you want, or not at all, haha. I do always like to mark the occasion and connect with other vegans. When I lived in England, my housemate always insisted to hold a Halloween party, and because that usually went on throughout midnight, we made it (translation: I insisted it be) a combined Halloween/World Vegan Day party. People would bring vegan snacks and sometimes come in fitting costumes! 😁

Whether you celebrated or not, I hope you had a good one!

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY EVERYONE!

We dream. We fight. We persevere. 💚 🙏

Il neoliberismo sta privatizzando tutti gli elementi della società, dallo sfruttamento alla carità.

Nel processo di individualizzazione totalizzante il realismo capitalista è arrivato ad innescare una nuova dinamica: la responsabilizzazione totale dei soggetti.

Il postcapitalismo esclude la propria responsabilità nel produrre esternalità negative. Fa questo colpevolizzando le soggettività e appaltando a queste (e alla loro “responsabilità individuale”) l’origine del collasso collettivo.

Responsabilizzazione e colpevolizzazione si confondono fino a diventare inscindibili.

Nelle socialdemocrazie era compito dello stato (utopia dell’uniformità etnica) redistribuire ricchezza e garantire giustizia sociale.

Oggi la missione morale, che era dell’istituzione, è stata appaltata alla società civile.

La carità così è diventata lo strumento unico del progresso. Questo è avvenuto con un passaggio di responsabilizzazione da stato a società.

È il “singolo” che è responsabile del male della società.

È con il suo arbitrio, la sua singola azione,che può cambiare le cose.

È la coscienza singolare che si deve colpevolizzare per responsabilizzare l’azione.

Non si devono riconoscere le cause del collasso nel sistema economico/produttivo o nel dominio biopolitico che questo applica sui corpi.

Non è solo ingiusto distruggere la coscienza collettiva, è perverso creare una società depressa e auto colpevolizzante.

Il dominio così si auto protegge: boicottando la carica radicale e trasformativa dell’anticapitalismo, traslando questa forza generativa, e strutturalmente collettiva, nella gabbia mentale dell’individuo.

Il postcapitalismo ti chiede sacrificio e rimorso per una situazione che non hai creato e che non hai il potere di cambiare.

Perché riconoscere le vere responsabilità significherebbe mettere in discussione tutto il sistema.

Plant-based "steak" made from chickpeas and vital wheat gluten.

Wheat gluten, also known as seiten, is believed to originate from 6th century China, where it became a popular meat substitute among Chinese Buddhists. The Silk Road introduced seitan to a multitude of cultures, and in the 18th century, the slightly chewy, protein dense food was introduced in the west. Seitan is among the most protein* packed plant-based foods and is cholesterol free, relatively low in calories and fat, and contains important minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. Seitan requires a lot of kneading to prepare, and the act is traditionally viewed as a meditative practice.

* Seitan is not a complete protein and is low in the amino acid lysine. You can supplement by consuming lysine-rich foods such as legumes, quinoa, tempeh, soy milk, nuts and seeds.

Plant proteins: Assessing Their Nutritional Quality and Effects on Health and Physical Function

GO VEG!? Early humans were plant based!?

The research, published in Science, focused on specimens from the Sterkfontein cave near Johannesburg, part of South Africa’s “Cradle of Humankind,” an area renowned for its abundant early hominin fossils. Using innovative chemical analysis techniques, researchers examined fossilized teeth from seven Australopithecus specimens, comparing them with teeth from other animals that lived alongside them, including ancient relatives of antelopes, cats, dogs, and hyenas.

The findings challenge long-held assumptions about early human diet. The Australopithecus specimens showed nitrogen levels similar to plant-eaters and significantly lower than meat-eaters from the same period. However, they demonstrated remarkable dietary flexibility. The seven specimens showed more variation in their chemical signatures than any other species studied, suggesting they could adapt their diet based on what foods were available.

Do you know about MOVE ? These Animal Rights/ Human Rights activists were murdered by the Philadelphia police in 1985. The police dropped bombs on them while they were in their home, killing 11 activists including 5 children. The ones who survived the bombing and fires were met with police bullets as they ran outside. Only a few survived. Fuck the police.

My vegan journey

Warning: could be boring!

When I was five, I asked my mom what difference there was between our muscle tissue and that of the animals. Mom, who isn’t quite like other moms, said ’none. It’s same.’ This was back when parents were advised to lie to kids about where meat comes from. 

I remember feeling sick. How disgusting. Unfortunately, we really didn’t have any role models. It didn’t occur to us that we could stop eating dead animals. 

This despite the fact that my mother’s (maternal) grandfather was once if not actually, vegan at least maybe vegetarian. While he worked in America, he came into contact with seventh day adventists. When he returned to Sweden, his wife probably didn’t want to cook vegetarian food for him. His brother, though, stayed vegetarian. We don’t know any other details. Grandpa O passed away when mom was five. 

Actually, while not strictly speaking vegetarian at all, my mother’s paternal grandmother had a home made cookery book that contained a semi vegetarian recipe. Pea patties (’cutlets’. Unfortunately, small pieces of pork were added to the patties ’for flavor’. This was at the beginning of the 20th century. We now use that recipe too, but in our version flavor comes from either roasted peanuts or sun dried tomatoes.

To sum up my vegan journey: at five I couldn’t change my eating habits, but then at twelve, I remarked that my rabbit had such sweet-smelling breath. I wanted to be like her. Two years later I completely cut meat from my diet.  

Later someone asked why I ate fish but not meat. Not rudely, mind you. Just asking. I thought ’yeah, exactly why indeed’. And immediately quit. I was in my late teens. This was something I had struggled with some years earlier. Even later I realized that cheese contained rennet. And immediately gave up cheese. Finally, I also gave up dairy and eggs. I never liked honey and I’m allergic to wool so long before I realized the dark truth behind bee keeping and sheep farming, I didn’t use any of that.

Long story, sorry. What I really wanted to say is that I never needed to or wanted to watch distressing videos about tortured animals. Because guess what? I don’t contribute to that suffering and haven’t done so for many years. I have also signed petitions, boycotted businesses and shared info online. I don’t need to watch movie clips because even when I was five, I knew that for anyone to eat a piece of meat someone had to die. Someone who was good and innocent and had never hurt me or anyone in my family, like many humans have.
