#vegans are made of meat

[defilerwyrm]

Genuine question. I'm very passionate about conservation and helping animals and the planet, but a lot of people say you cannot be a conservationist without being vegan. Issue is..I don't wanna be vegan, I have AFRID and can't do it. I've tried. I saw your vegan posts and were curious your thoughts on those type of claims!

My thoughts on those type of claims are that it's pretty damned interesting who, specifically, they exclude.

They leave behind disabled people like yourself with medical and/or psychiatric conditions that make a vegan lifestyle impossible.

They leave behind Indigenous peoples such as the Inuit who live in places where agriculture is poor or impossible, and/or ones where no one can reasonably afford the costs of produce on account of shipping prices.

They leave behind the urban, suburban, and rural people who live in food deserts...who are statistically likely to be racialized.

They leave behind the unhoused and otherwise impoverished who must choose calorie-rich food to survive...who are statistically likely to be racialized, disabled, and/or queer.

They leave behind and deny the existence and invaluable work of Indigenous peoples who have done just fine stewarding the land while eating meat and using animal products for millennia.

They advocate for the extinction of the domesticated honeybee and the replacement of wool and leather with petroleum-based plastic products.

So it sure looks to me like those claims are ableist, racist, classist, colonialist, and homophobic — and thus are full of shit.

To each according to his needs; from each according to his means.

veganism was truly the worst thing to happen to vegetarianism.. used to be u could get a veggie meal that still had animal protein in it and now all u can get is shit plant based alternatives in everything with fake meat and white mystery sauce instead of mayo and cheese. why do this to me specifically

[vaguely-concerned]

nothing makes me feel like a golden god quite like a new recipe turning out delicious on the first try. unfortunately, conversely nothing makes me feel more 'I am god's mistake' than spending all that time and effort on something and having to make a sandwhich b/c the results were inedible if you want to retain your capacity for delight. the duality of home chef

its interesting to still see posts of people arguing with imaginary vegans while the diet/wellness sphere has moved on to keto diets and bone broth

bitches be like. i hate vegans so much that i’ve decided i like killing animals and its fine and i dont feel bad and animals dont have feelings and its fine and im cool subversive and different and edgy and like to post fucked up stuff to make vegans uncomfortable bc im just so cool

Made some mac and no cheese tonight with roasted veggies and sausages and my tummy is so happy. Radiatori is truly the prefect pasta for a cheese sauce.

Sauce is not measured, but it's hippie dust, fake milk, fake butter, tahini, miso, gochujang, and spices. Including a bunch of the sage @moistglutealcleft's partner gave me!

i have to wonder what super hardcore militant vegans think should be done about obligate carnivore animals, because in all my painfully-rapidly-approaching-30-years i've literally never actually seen anyone give a clear consistent much less halfway feasible answer on that

I know I'm very late to this, but it's Nice Ask Week!

When do you think Carlos found out that TK can cook? What was the first thing TK made for him and what was the occasion?

Hey friend 🥰🥰 I think it took a while but it did happen before Carlos moved in. Usually, Carlos just likes to cook and take care of others and TK helps him cut if he helps at all and doesn't just gobble down ingredients. But of course Carlos has late shifts and by the time they get so close that TK just stays over at Carlos' without him there, TK wants to surprise him with a dish. I think he'd go for comfort, something he cooked for himself but not one of the go-to quick meals. A labor of love with a garantued outcome.

Maybe I'm projecting my own penchant for cooking East Asian food, but I think TK might make five spice pork. Also because he misses getting it from Spring Street. If you do eat meat, definitely give this a try!! https://vjcooks.com/chinese-pork-belly/

I was in a cult. And I see so many similarities w veganism and things I heard in my cult. Especially the black and white thinking and the guilt of being human and having to behave as a human animal does! Just throwing that out there cause a lot deny the similarities

Phew. Shit. Glad you got out of it, Anon.

If you were to ask me, I’d tell you that cults abound these days. Militant veganism, prosperity gospel heresies, stan culture, incels, diet fad fanatics, pyramid scheme pushers, kids faking rare or debunked disorders for tiktok views, “tradwife” grifters (ie, pornhub for neo-nazis), MAGAts, and a million different micro-cults of personality propped up around one celebrity or another. That shit’s everywhere.

i don’t think any angel would have a problem with eating animals, i think you’d have a problem convincing them they shouldn’t also be allowed to eat humans.

What foods are considered haram?

pork, alcohol (not a food but yk), blood, carnivorous animals, insects, and animals that die in any way other than the islamic way of slaughter :D

oh, also, when we slaughter them it has to be in the name of god. if we dont say "in the name of god" or "in the name of allah" or any of his titles, or if we name a god worshipped other than allah (e.g. jesus), then the meat is considered haram

I feel like my almost instantaneous attachment to Chief is in part due to the hyper specific concept of both being a POC and having an anxiety-based disorder. Cuz like let’s think. Is it REALLY paranoia if you’re personally aware of the fact that both historically and in current time, people just deadass DON’T LIKE YOU?? Is it REALLY overreacting if you realistically can’t fully trust the majority of the people around you?? At what point can I reason with myself that my brain is inherently dysfunctional and is constantly in panic mode and when can I acknowledge that the reason I’m terrified of something or someone because they might ACTUALLY hurt me?? Who am I supposed to trust knowing that the people societally put in place to protect DO NOT want to protect me?? Can I stay inside forever?? Can I lock myself in one place and never leave again?? Wait goddamnit ethic parents don’t play like that I’ve gotta actually have a life.

Maybe his character wasn’t meant to be read in such a way, and regardless it’s not like he’s gonna resonate with me completely cuz like. I’m black. We’re comin from different perspectives here. Idk what I’m sayin man he’s just my guy and I love him and I really need to look for more media with severely anxious individuals who AREN’T being weirdly infantilized or romanticized so that I can salivate over them and murmur “Literally me……literally me……” while violently gripping a pencil to draw them. Lol lmao.
