what you eat has an impact on the environment thats just a fact. how u choose to mitigate that might be trying to use locally sourced produce, it might be growing your own, it might be reducing meat intake, it might be supporting community food initiatives, it might just be buying un-packaged produce or avoiding out-of-season fruit, or maybe ur not in a position to do anything. but stop fucking listening to people who tell you that the other regular people who choose to do a different thing from this list than you do are the enemy to distract you from who’s really creating the problem. if you spend more time railing at vegans than you do at monsanto and cargill and ADM then you’re literally falling into the same trap as someone who makes 40k and complains about the minimum wage being increased

#a lot of u guys are straight up brainwashed and think its really leftist somehow who else cringed #DISCLAIMER this is not to say white vegans dont do stupid racist things #but to argue that white vegans are not more racist as a group than like other white people #like. have the same reaction when indigenous land is taken over for animal agriculture #i think its very weird and sad to make it a competition rather than recognising corporate food production as the shared proble #and if u actually care abt farmers then get mad at john deere lol #i cant stand the either/or thing w vegetarianism/veganism #when someones like oh ur vegetarian to mitigate the impact on the environment?? ummm what about [vegetable that can be farmed unethically]??#girl do you not fucking eat vegetables??get help #also so many of them are just not true like the quinoa thing is sooo annoying because its not true #no one even knows exactly what they think is wrong with quinoa theyre just lke umm isnt it bad #actually one of the biggest concerns quinoa farmers have is that the fad won't last and then they'll be plunged into poverty #and the soy thing everyone repeats okay well again. vegans arent responsible for the majority of soy consumption but also #consumption literally accounts for like 5% of soy production #most of it is for ANIMAL FEED and biofuels.#the same applies to like vegans who get mad at people who buy locally sourced meat etc etc but tahts not what i see on this website #i mean anyone whos getting mad at regular ppl over literally trying to do something good for the environment is an idiot
