    #Veganism : You have two cows but you "have" them like you have a friend — not as property. Their breastmilk is for their children — not for adults with a fetish for nonconsentual interspieces suckling.

  3. I didn't always realize this but "A plant based food system is the biggest way to combat climate change and deforestation" is malthusianism transposed onto human supremacy.

    What is the difference between "livestock eat the majority of crops and drink a lot of water" and "There are too many humans the most effective solution to climate change is to have less mouths to feed and less energy demand"

    For a while I excused this because I saw depopulation as an unavoidable consequence of market shifts, after all I'm not advocating they be killed its the farmers who would see them as an un-recouped investment and would have them killed

    But this is just endorsement with extra steps, there is no way to say that water and land usage are a benefit of a plant based diet without it being human supremacist.

    Yes I know I'm inviting the overpopulation antivegan argument but I'm at the point where I'm like "our species has made this ethical bed now we need to lie in it and bear the cost of caring for the population of moral patients we've created"

    I recognize that with the way the world is atm the farmers will kill the livestock they don't sell. But I act to prefigure the world I want to create not to compromise with the one that already exists.

    I appreciate that not everyone can do physically demanding (or otherwise risky) activism and I didn't mean to imply that you were a liberal but I fear that the human-centric approach has a tendancy to attract liberals because it is quite compatible with a reformist attitude - if all you have to do is make different consumer choices then you don't need to endorse more extreme antispeciesist action. But when we bake the perspective of the victim into the message from the start there is no way to twist it or coopt it because the focus is always on the immediate harm and how those systems can be dismantled rather than how those systems profit or disadvantage humans.

    1) a.
    I have also helped several people start and settle into veganism and I never shy away from pointing directly at the harm and calling out hypocrisy, self-serving rationalizations, logical fallacies etc. Am I being shitty by being direct? By calling people non-human animal abusers and murderers when those same conversations have led to them becoming committed vegans themselves?

    1) b.
    I believe that you have had more "success" with convincing people to eat a plant based diet for their own sake, but then why would they stop buying honey or "animal-tested" products or supporting non-human racing or zoos/aquariums or just leather and fur products like just off the top of my head a badger hair shaving brush what is the benefit to the individual to avoid these things

    1) c.
    You can't combat a poisoned well by toning down your advocacy that's exactly what the flesh propagandists want they want you to quiet down and stop taking extreme actions that might hurt their profits. "Injustice is never abolished by appealing to the sensibilities of the oppressor" At this moment we need more extremists not more liberal vegans and plant based dieters, the movement will continue to grow with or without you based on outreach strategy you have briefly outlined, but the radical flank of veganism is extremely small and can use all the help it can get.

    1) d.
    Fundamentally veganism is a rights issue the focus should never ever be on how veganism can benefit humans, its ok to talk about it but to center vegan activism entirely around humans is literally de-centering the victim and plays right into speciesist narratives about how humans are the first priority and other animals exist for our benefit, except in this veganified version those animals exist to support the biosphere we live in rather than as a source of materials

    2)
    see 1) d. , by not presenting the abuse of non-human animals in the foreground it gives implicit license to the abuse by implying that veganism is something that is for humans or even for the benefit of the individual framing veganism as an amoral position or a lifestyle choice. In much the same way that you don't get someone to stop physical abuse to humans by trying to convince them that it would be good for their mental health to be less violent. The problem in both human and non-human cases is either outright supremacism or disinterestedly profiting from others suffering while actively ignoring the harm so they can sleep at night

  10. @mattwebbdev "I'm not going to be shitty to people if they're not vegan" = More concerned with the approval of the oppressors than their victims. What exactly would you consider being shitty: telling someone they should stop killing innocent sentient beings?

    "I'm super feminist I don't abuse women in my personal life but if you want to do physical abuse I'm not going to moralize to you about that"

  12. If you're fed up with the excuses and rationalizations and misinformation surrounding human's justifications for using LLMs for convenience pleasure or profit then you know a little bit what its like to be vegan and to see everyone you know justify murder for their own taste pleasure convenience and profit.

    And maybe you can understand why many of us are fed up with or outright hate most of you.

  16. Hide and chic: are clothes and apparel made from alternative leathers better for the environment?
    By Lucianne Tonti

    Vegan leathers are complicated by questions of commercial viability and sustainability. How do they compare to traditional leather?

  17. Pflanzen haben keine Gefühle, genauso wie Bakterien keine Gefühle haben. Was ist daran so schwer zu verstehen? 🤔 Eine chemische Reaktion ist noch lange kein Gefühlsausdruck. 😅 Aber egal, Hauptsache man tut so, als ob Tiere und Pflanze beide gleich seien und deshalb Veganer*innen genauso schlechte Menschen sind wie Fleischfresser*innen.

  18. CW: Soaps! (Could be more interesting than you think!)

    OK, so lately I've come to realize that even ingredients like glycerin can come from palm oil and/or coconuts. With surfactants on almost any cleaning product being derived from palm oil and/or coconuts (List of possible coconut derivatives: bloomingskin.com/christys-blog / List of possible palm oil derivatives: obvs-skincare.com/blogs/organi ) and the associated issues with them (Coconuts: investigations.peta.org/monkey , foodispower.org/our-food-choic / Palm oil: wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-kn ), I've started looking for alternatives to cleaning products and goodness, it's been very difficult, but I found a solution I think!
    Olive oil soap! Yes, that is right. It's a soap…made from…wait for it…
    …olive oil! (OK and some water and maybe some other stuff added, too.)
    Commonly known as castile soap, it is actually totally fine for use as body, hair and even as a laundry detergent to wash by hand or in a washing machine with some slight modification ( thespruce.com/how-to-make-your )!!! So then you have a minimalist cleaning product that does the job just like the others but with severely less impact on the environment (Basically always.) and could even do a BETTER job in some cases…I should've been supporting this since the beginning, it seems…Do note that some still contain coconut or palm oil derivatives, so check the ingredients still (Of course!). Most times they seem to be vegan (As in no parts of non-human animals or something they produce is used and no testing for the olive oil soaps is taking place.), but again, you should check yourself.
    And if someone is doubting the efficacy of olive oil soap for cleaning, here are some sources: damascussoap.ca/blogs/skin-hai
    olividasoap.com/4-proven-benef
    theaustralianoliveoilsoap.com.
    pureplacid.com/blogs/journal/w
    With people boycotting palm oil so much, it seems like the best solution (Even if boycotting palm oil weren't the case and it were totally fine, the staggering difference in ingredients makes this the better choice for environmental reasons.). #Vegan #Veganism #Palm #Oil #PalmOil #Soap #Soaps #Clean #Cleaning #Cleanliness #Coconut #Coconuts #CoconutOil #Ethics #Ethical #Buy #Purchase #Boycott #Laundry #Detergent #LaundryDetergent #DeepDive #Olive #OliveOil #Castile #Bar #SoapBar #BarOfSoap #Bars #SoapBars #BarsOfSoap #Ingredient #Ingredients #Surfactant #Surfactants #PigtailedMacaque #PigtailedMacaques #Pigtailed #Macaque #Macaques #Child #Labour #ChildLabour #Work #Job #RightsViolation #RightsViolations #Abuse #Violence:vegan:

  20. There is no radically transforming society without individuals radically transforming themselves. And while it's the simplest step to take, the biggest attitude shift is respecting the rights of non-human animals. Not you offering help, being jolly during difficult times, nothing like that. Just basic respect.
    And I would claim that believing society can be radically transformed is naive, just stop abusing beings for their sake. #Vegan #Veganism #Speciesism #Antispeciesism #Society #Antinatalism #BeVegan #GoVegan :vegan:

  22. @Brian @Arseni understand-veganism.com/ claims that backyard eggs are a defensible utilitarian position - as a utilitarian I disagree: Backyard eggs are wrong because it is theft which causes direct harm. Hens like to brood on unfertilised eggs and also like to eat them raw. Especially since layer hens are bred to lay 30x more eggs than they would in the wild in order to prevent calcium deficiency the best thing to do with their eggs is feed them back to them.

    All of this can be understood through a utilitarian lens and rule utilitarianism can cover abstract abuses more typically thought of as deontological like treating someone as a means to an end

  24. Bueno, tras la consulta de hace 2 semanas con la #pediatra en la que le dijimos que no comiamos #carne y nos aseguró que nuestro hijo tendría #anemia y que necesitaba un suplemento de hierro, dejo algunas reflexiones más reposadas.

    Hemos tenido luego consulta con una nutricionista especializada también en nutrición vegetariana estricta y esto nos ha contado (ya lo sabiamos de fuentes fiables pero esto nos refuerza en nuestra posición):
    - la población vegetariana no tiene más incidencia de anemia ferropénica que la población omnívora. No hay evidencias de que esto sea así, afirmarlo sin evidencias es muy grave.
    - el hierro en exceso es tóxico, recomendar un suplumento de hierro si no hay déficit puede acarrear al niño problemas de salud.
    - tanto a la población omnívora como a la vegana sólo habría que hacerle un análisis para comprobar niveles de hierro si presentan antes síntomas de deficiencia.

    Y mis reflexiones serían las siguientes, por si le sirven a alguien. Si eres médica y te encuentras un caso así en consulta lo que deberías haber hecho:
    - preguntar sobre el patrón alimenticio, si no, no sabes si somos ovolacto vegatarianos, vegetarianos estrictos (veganos) u otra cosa.
    - si crees que puede haber algún riesgo preguntar si estamos informados (hemos leído algo al respecto de fuentes fiables) o si tenemos consultas con nutricionistas especializados, cuanto tiempo llevamos con este patrón, etc.
    -formarte en nutrición vegana. Decir cosas falsas como vuestro patrón dietético no es completo, no mencionar la B12 y aludir al hierro demuestra un profundo desconocimiento.

    Nosotros seguimos en lo nuestro que sabemos que lo estamos haciendo bien y con la información correcta.
    Supongo que pediremos cambio de pediatra.
