Diary of a Not So Wimpy Ⓥegan

shoutout to the poor vegans. the homeless vegans. the vegans in food deserts. the vegans of colour. the indigenous vegans. the disabled vegans. the chronically ill vegans. shoutout to every single one of you. people love bringing your circumstances up as a reason not to go vegan, and yet here you are, proving them wrong. making a difference. helping the animals. you're a amazing.

People hate me for my controversial opinions such as “don’t abuse animals for human gain” and “let’s lower our carbon emissions”

I find it very sad that so many kids, when they start expressing compassion for animals and reason that eating their meat/products from their bodies is wrong, are taught by caregivers that kindness is wrong when it inconveniences others and caring so much for other living beings is childish and naive, because trying your best to do less harm will make others feel bad about their actions, and I can't help but feel that's where it starts for a lot of people who then grow up to believe that their pleasure, convenience, comfort and conformity is worth it even if others have to suffer for it.

Well I suppose if you compare a vegan who only eats deep fried almonds in palm oil drenched in agave who buys new pleather jackets all the time and imports that from the other side of the planet with a carnist who only eats local poultry from a family farm and sews their own clothes then the vegan could be worse for the environment. I just don’t think that’s the actual dichotomy
