      This. The difference is a veggie diet vs a "vegetarian" diet. Call it a thing, label it, commodify it - you've just made a billion bux.

      "Sorry you're poor, please restrict yourself to beans and rice"

      Is the core of the privileged diet mindset. It always comes back to "anyone can afford to live on the most basic food components possible, as long as they don't eat meat!"

        I'm not broke but I won't turn down free meet. The violence happens during commodification, not consumption

      Veganism is such lib shit. The ultimate personality responsibility cult in the world.

        As a form of individual consumer choice, sure. As a frame to understand the exploitation of animals by humans I think it's very much compatible with a universal application of socialist theory.

          I agree. I’m talking about the self identification of veganism which is based on the ethical non-consumption of meat. Even if one were to not consume meat, but didn’t do it for ethical reasons. They are not considered vegan. That’s a toxic culture.

          I’m all in favor of using activism to end animal suffering, but the narrative is constantly fixated on personal choice.
