i mean for me as a vegan, the issue is that animals are bred and killed for our consumption when it is possible for most (!) people to meet their nutritional needs without doing so. it is also basically impossible to meet everyone’s meat demands without using factory farming but that’s a separate thing.
again, veganism is about the animals. i think it’s very disingenuous to imply that vegans don’t care about human workers just because the philosophy of veganism is about something else
not sure what this websites hang up on leather is and if people own wardrobes full of it (and honey) and have to rush to the internet to justify it but. leather is not “good”. from the perspective of the tanneries and chemical pollution from the treatment process. i get the impulse to call it good to own those pleather-clad freaks but

This is what I’ll make you look like, sweetheart. Daddy will pump your face full of botox and fillers, juvederm and plastic. You’re going to be such a pretty bimbo princess!
This is really what the path to beauty looks like today
Modern girls are really nothing else but seductive sexobjects for the next generation of guys. Natural just isn’t enough anymore and to compete with todays porn model and celebrity industry you have to face that one way or another you need to let plastic into your body, thats the only way for us girls to stay relevant.
So, there’s apparently research coming out now about microplastics being found in people’s bloodstreams and the possible negative effects of that and I feel the need to get out ahead of the wave of corporate sponsored “be sure to recycle your bottles!” or “ban glitter!” campaigns and remind everyone:
It’s fishing nets. It’s fishing nets. It is overwhelming fishing nets It always has been fishing nets.Unless regulations are changed, it will continue to be fishing nets.
The plastic in the ocean in largely discarded nets from industrial fishing. The microplastics are the result of these nets breaking down. The “trash islands” are also, you guessed it. Mostly fishing nets and other discarded fishing industry equipment.
Do not allow them to continue to twist the story. Do not come after disabled people who require single use plastics. Do not come after people using glitter in art projects and makeup. These things make up a negligible amount of the issue compared to corporate waste, specifically in the fishing industry. Do not let them shift the blame to the individual so they can continue to destroy the planet and our bodies without regulation.
Industries are incredibly resistant to taking responsibility for their own waste, to the point where “consumers are responsible for industrial waste” is somehow considered a sensible, ethical, worthy sentence.
It is actually perfectly reasonable to say that “industries are responsible for industrial waste” and “the effects of industry can, should and must be fixed by industry” and “Industry can, should and must be held responsible for its impacts on the commons, such as air, water, oceans and land.”
I’ve been hearing about plastics that are FDA approved, food-grade, etc etc but still may be leaching plastic into food and water. I should probably research more before brining it up, but does anyone know more about this? I mean drinking out of glass water bottles looks really cool… But I’d love to know more about the health hazards. Or is this just a new buzz that will blow over without any conclusive evidence?
