Non-human beings are our comrades :vegan-liberation-rad: :vegan-v:
Remember the rules; in particular, this comm is for vegans only. Feel free to discuss anything from beans :bean: to your undying and eternal hatred for carnists. :frog-no-pretext:
:vegan-edge: Veganism isn't a diet, it's about animal liberation.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose
:very-smart: Other resources
Short clips to send to carnists (CW):
- DAIRY IS SCARY! The industry explained in 5 minutes
- What's Wrong With Eggs? The Truth About The Egg Industry
Documentaries (CW x2):
The sidebar has other great resources to check out, too.
But for real, I get really fucking tired of this discourse.
"Veganism is more expensive/privileged" completely ignores the huge production cost of meat, from the plants and water used to feed the cows (pound per pound, beef is much more water-exhaustive than plants, and obviously many more pounds of plants go into the pounds of meat an animal "produces"), to the costs of clearing land/building factory farms, etc. The only reason meat and dairy are within the price point of a lot of people in the west is because they are massively subsidized--they have to be in order to be market viable since it's naturally an incredibly inefficient use of resources.
and if its so privileged to refrain from eating meat, its funny how meat consumption per capita is :always-the-same-map:
silly vegoon, of course the most meat-heavy countries are also the most democratic, meat is freedom, and freedom is democracy. :so-true:
