Before I begin, let me first note that I think all forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc. are disgusting, and I don’t understand how humanity expects to thrive while it keeps insisting that people of a certain race, gender, sexuality or disability are “lower-class”.

What I want to discuss is humanity (and SJW in particular)’s ridiculous disregard of speciesism. 

Would you not assume that someone obsessed with equal rights in society would also be obsessed with the rights of animals? I would.

Unfortunately, it is the belief of many so-called “social justice warriors” that animals are not a part of society and do not deserve to be treated with a speck of respect or compassion.

Why is this? Well, I believe it to be the same reason for the disregard of racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism that existed a century ago: tradition. Social justice warriors declare themselves to be more open-minded than their grandparents, more respectful of others and more accepting of change. So why, then, are they so close-minded, disrespectful and outraged by change when it comes to the way we treat animals?

Hypocrisy is the answer. While they have achieved the open-mindedness to accept racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism as terrible and very real things, they refuse to accept that speciesism is the same, if not worse. They refuse to believe their grandparents’ notions of sexism, but agree with them on topics of speciesism. 

I believe this is because many of these so-called “social justice warriors” are not as open-minded as they think. They have realised that racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism are wrong through the teachings of tumblr, but they haven’t been taught how wrong speciesism is and can’t see it without having their eyes opened for them.

Others, of course, know plenty about the cruelties of animal testing and farming but refuse to stop buying their favourite make-up and animal products because they’re selfish and, in my view, the worst kind of human scum.

As for those who are uninformed, that’s where we come in. Tumblr hasn’t taught the uninformed enough about animal rights, and many times, games of the selfish people mentioned above such as “spot the vegan” come first and turn neutral ignorance into anti-veganism. 

We need to get there first. We need more posts detailing the benefits of veganism, the horrors of farming and animal testing, and the logic behind every point. Tumblr has made an impact on millions of people regarding racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism, and now it’s speciesism’s turn. 

So speak out. Use your knowledge of what happens at dairy farms, the vegan-suited anatomy of the human body, the horrors of animal testing and the rejection of breeders to inform those who are neutrally ignorant. Inform them before “spot the vegan”, “we’re omnivores” and “animal testing is a benefit to society” gets there first.

How do you justify killing and eating animals?

Is it because they are ‘inferior’? But what is this inferiority based in?

That they are 'less capable’? Animals aren’t destroying the only planet they inhabit, we are. Just because they can’t do some things we can doesn’t mean they are “inferior”. We cannot do a lot of things that animals can.

But, even if we agree that they are inferior, is it justified to exploit the ones that are less capable than us? Is capability the defining factor in who gets to live and who doesn’t?


Edit: Not reading replies for this post as I’ve attracted the “bacon tho” side of non-vegans.

Oh and, humans are not the apex predator if we can’t fight a fucking lion with our bare hands and have a chance to survive. Neither do we (a lot of us) eat meat for survival, just personal pleasure. We choose to inflict violence for personal pleasure.

You going to a supermarket to buy packaged meat isn’t the same as a predator hunting its own prey and eating it, so that comparison is absurd.

How do you justify killing and eating plants?

Is it it because you believe they are “inferior” to you? What is YOUR inferior based on?

The fact is, in order for something to live on, something has to die. Plant, animal, human. We all have our place in the universe. Just because you choose to live in some way, doesn’t mean everyone has to follow.

Being an apex predator has nothing to do with it. People can still hunt and eat regardless if we’re “apex” or not, and will continue to do so. Also, yes, it is for nourishment which humans do need for survival.

@acti-veg not everyone’s morals are the same. Also, how exactly does a plant not suffer? Would you not suffer if dehydrated, steamed, or cooked? You don’t get to draw the lines for other people’s dietary choices.

Also havent they done a study about how plants know they are being eaten? Hell thats the entire reason why peppers are spicy. Its a defense mechanism to keep things from eating them.

Humans don’t need to eat meat because we’ve made alternatives so we don’t have to. Lions don’t have the same option, nor do other animals in the wild. If we we’re cavemen or in a time period without alternatives (whether plant-based meat/diary or just special diets that focus on plants that have a lot of proteins like beans, which is sustainable in this time because of a mass access to food) then it would be acceptable to eat meat, but because we have the full capability to not eat meat morally we shouldn’t. I’ve heard the price argument, but there are very cheap ways to live vegan/vegetarian. Fruits, beans, and vegetables aren’t expensive items and you can make a lot with them. Plant-based meat or cheese alternatives can be expensive but so is eating actual meat and cheese, it’s just less expensive due to governments subsidizing those industries. If more people were vegan/vegetarian and that’s what farms focused on then it could probably flip to the opposite.

Killing an animal is way closer to killing a human (as humans are animals) then killing a plant. Are they as smart as us? No, but they still want to live. Every animal desires to live. They also are capable of feeling emotions. We’ve seen sad or angry dogs who are abused by their owners or animals that are capable of loving their owners and other animals. In fact the same people who argue that eating meat is fine are the same people who generally object to animal abuse (which is rampant in the meat/diary industry) and eating cats and dogs in southeast asia, despite cows and pigs having the same mental capacity as dogs. 

Eating meat and diary is for pleasure and convenience. Morally and ethically though it’s pretty wrong. I have friends who still eat meat and diary that can accept this premise. Whether you accept that or not is up to you, but being aware does make it more easier for you to help fix the issue, or at least not contribute as much to exacerbating it.

Bro I just want you to know, the vegans arent going to fuck you.

I am vegan you troglodyte

Dont really care I just wanted to make a joke and plenty of other people thought it was funny so I rest my case lol

Also everyone of these vegans ignores the fact that humans are the tippy top of food chain and everything we eat will overpopulate quickly, as seen in areas like where I grew up, where deer were overpopulating and eating all the food in the woods when hunting regulations grew too strict. Whether by evolution or engineering, humans are still THE apex predator world wide, removing us from the food chain would be catastrophic, and likely lead to the extinction of thousands of species world wide. That’s just common sense man.

Yeah a lot of people automatically jump to “less eating animals equals more animals” but what actually happens is overpopulation which leads to a surplus of food for predators and they can’t eat other animals fast enough. Which leads to a deficiency in food for herbivores because there is too many of them. And then because there isnt enough for the herbivores to sustain themselves they start leaving or dying off and then suddenly there isnt enough food for the carnivores so they start leaving or dying off too. It’s called trophic cascade and can lead to the complete destruction of an ecosystem.

Like, we as human beings ARE part of the food chain and removing ourselves from it is NOT going to help. In fact I would argue that it is morally WRONG to remove ourselves from it because it could lead to further destruction of natural habitats.

Which is ironic because a lot of vegan solutions to things include plastic which is also bad for the environment. :)

Bacon tho

Exactly

Your quinoa and agave destroys the environments and contributes to the abuse and deprivation of the child farmers picking it.

My beef comes from an American cow that had a comfy life being raised by a farmer who’s 18+, not coerced, and is paid for his labor.

Do the math lmao

Op theres people whos bodies are so shitty that they will literally die without the nutriemts meat gives

And ppl who cant handle most food (sensory issues) and meats one of the tjings they CAN handle

Diet ismt always a fuckinh choice we have NOT evolved past the need for meat.

You going to a supermarket to buy packaged meat isn’t the same as a predator hunting its own prey and eating it, so that comparison is absurd.

nah mate, its actually because theyre of equal importance to us.

Humans are animals. We’re part of an ecosystem. In an ecosystem, animals eat plants, and then those animals are eaten by other animals to survive. I hope I don’t have to explain the food web to you in detail.

The food web is natural and necessary. That doesnt mean that the wolf eating the rabbit thinks the rabbit is lesser; in fact, I’m sure the wolf appreciates it very much, like I appreciate the animals I hunt/eat.

Are you going to go try to stop foxes from eating mice because its “cruel”? Are you going to ask orcas to become vegan? Why are humans different, how come we’re the only ones you don’t want to participate in the ecosystems we are a prominent part in? (remember how deer overpopulate without hunters? yes, we are in fact an important part of our ecosystems)

oh and plants feel pain and scream when cut so dont pull that. Even if they didn’t, they’re just as alive as any animal. You can choose to not eat meat, but the choice to eat it is just as natural and moral. 

AND. re: the lion thing, thats not what an apex predator means at all. It doesn’t mean you’re the strongest animal ever, it just means that in the environment you live in, no other animals regularly eat you. And yeah, no, lions do not regularly prey on us. Bottlenose dolphins are considered almost apex predators in their environments, but that doesn’t mean they’ll win a fight against a sperm whale, colossal squid, orca, etc. Humans are apex predators because we aren’t a staple of any animal’s diet. 

Also, our ability to make and use complex tools is part of our evolutionary advantage, and we use them frequently, so to say we’d be less adapted without them is like… yeah, no shit. that’s kind of our evolutionary edge. It’s WHY we became apex predators in so many places. No shit we’re worse if we’re not allowed to use tools.

Healthy sprouts in six days.
March 14th 2017

Bringing healthy food to the table, especially for the growing children, has never been this easy. We soak the seeds the first day for 24 hours. Then every morning and evening we fill the jars with water to do a shake and rinse. So, simply fill the jars, shake and pour the water out. once you’ve shaken the water out of the jars simply lay the jars on their side next to the sink. Keep them close and convenient. In six days you’ll have jars full of clean and organic sprouts for salads and sides. The nutritional value is exponentially higher when the beans open and the taproot grows. This is a great solution for anybody who feels they are too busy to grow their own healthy foods. With simple old-school methods no one has excuses and there is no light required. Moreover, the sweet and crunchy experience usually wins over the children.

From our experience, if you have an active lifestyle and need easily digestible foods that translate into quick and clean energy, this is definitely a route for you guys to explore.

I hope this message finds you guys excited about getting ready for the spring time.

Respectfully,
K

Especially today, it is literally about turning all your lights off. It’s earth hour at 8.30 pm your local time. Living in the dark for one hour is a message that you care about our planet. But turning everything off you don’t need at the moment is something important every day. So much energy is wasted by tv’s nobody’s looking at or lights in rooms with no one in it.

Bamboo grows very fast, so it is the perfect material for an item that needs to be replaced every three month. Unlike plastic. A plastic toothbrush is used for a couple of weeks and then stays on this planet for several hundred years, since it will not biodegrade. That makes no sense. Switch to bamboo. Plus: You can just burry the old brushes in the backyard.

#12 renewable energy

Not everybody has the chance to, but if you have the option to change your power supplier, do so. It might seem obvious, but people underestimate the power we have. We can vote with our dollars for the world we want to live in. Also, check what company is behind the green power supplier of your choice and try to find one who is not part of a  big coal or fracking company.

#11 bring your own cutlery

This is an easy one: Carry around a set of cutlery in your everyday bag. You can use an outdoor camping set or just go with your normal forks, spoons or sticks. Whenever your eating out anywhere in a place that doesn’t offer reusable cutlery, just use your own and skip the plastic. You can just put them in the dishwasher when you are back home and save a ton of plastic.

Some fun facts about “vegan leather.”

Yes, it is plastic. Which means it’s breaking down and releasing micro-particles into the environment.

That’s bad.

There’s also the whole “plastic comes from oil” issue and no, most vegan leather is not made from plant based plastic or recycled plastic.

It’s also not recyclable itself.

It wears out faster, and is less repairable, so you’ll have to buy new boots or whatever every couple of years instead of like. Once every decade and getting them occasionally fixed (for typically less than the cost of a new pair of vegan leather boots).

One of the attorneys I work with has a beat-up leather briefcase he was gifted when he passed the bar. In the 70s.

Another attorney bought a vegan leather one last year and he already has had to replace it.

It doesn’t “breath,” so your boots are more likely to smell than if they were made of leather.

It won’t form to your feet over time, so it’s less comfortable.

It also isn’t anywhere near as warm in the winter.

It doesn’t protect against various dangers and, in some cases, could make things much worse for the wearer. Ever had plastic melted to your skin? It’s not fun.

I know someone that professionally butchers local livestock and game. A few years ago, she would sell hides to various manufacturers. Now, she can’t even pay people to take hides. Her shop had to buy a bigger dumpster to hold the hides because they can’t get rid of them.

Because no one wants leather anymore.

(I could go on and on about the ethics of the meat industry in america, but to stay on topic, I won’t. Send me an ask if you want to talk about it. Same goes for initial cost issues for low income people, because I know that’s also a major thing)

Basically, as long as there is a market for beef in America, there will be hides that can be turned into leather. Yes, I know, there are a lot more complex issues in this, what with capitalism and all. See previous paragraph.

But the bottom line is that vegan leather SUCKS and people should avoid buying it whenever possible.

Vegan “wool” is also plastic, in case you were wondering, and it suffers from all of the same issues the above poster mentions.

Repeat after me:
- Veganism is not affordable
- Veganism is not cruelty free
- Veganism is not the best choice for everyone

Repeat after me
-I’m an idiot and wrong.
-Veganism can be made affordable.
-Veganism is fucking cruelty free. That’s what it’s all about.
- Veganism is the best choice for everyone, if everyone did it.
-I’m a fucking asshole for making this completely wrong text post and should shut the hell up now.

Exploiting undocumented immigrants, and other workers is cruelty free?
Nearly 500,000 children as young as six harvest 25 percent of US crops.

But I guess brown people don’t fucking matter. 

People are literally starving in South America because all the Quinoa crop is being exported mainly for white vegans who want to live “cruelty-free” but don’t care about brown people as much as they do about animals.

plus, 4 of the 8 most common food allergies (soy, wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts) are common vegan substitutes.

o shit

i would literally starve to death if i couldn’t eat cheese or meats because my body cannot process nuts as they are too rough on my intestines and cause inflammation

Veganism is incredibly expensive depending on where you live, mostly if there are no local farms near you. Plant food prices skyrocket, and food deserts exist.

Veganism is not even close to cruelty free. You cannot be cruelty free in this country (USA) unless you 100% grow your own food because we use slave labor to pick it. Plus this doesn’t factor in all the harm being caused by the transport of your food, by the truck that carried it around.

Veganism is not the best choice for everyone, because some people cannot survive off of a plant based diet. I had tried for a good while, and my chronic illnesses spiked from it. Plus the constant monitoring to make sure I was receiving adequate nutrients triggered my ED to hell and back.

Veganism is a great way to start lowering your negative effect on the planet, but that is all it is, a starting place. Your work is not done just because you became vegan and you do not get to throw stones at others because you still live in a glass house.

Furthermore - it is absolutely possible to lower your footprint while still consuming animal products - you just have to be selective about what kinds and where they are sourced from. I have a permaculture based garden planned out for when we get land that actually has a smaller footprint than the typical vegan who buys everything at a store does.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Actually,none of us can survive on a plant-based diet. We cannot manufacture B12, and the so-called “plant-based” sources of B12, it turns out, don’t produce it in a form we can digest.

B12 is found in all animal products.

Additionally, although humans can manufacture taurine (only found in meat), not all of us can manufacture enough taurine. This is why some people get sick when they go vegetarian.

To survive on a vegan diet you need to artificially supplement B12 and possibly taurine. Period.

A diet that requires artificial supplementation is, by definition, unhealthy. And while the cost of vegan B12 supplements is low, when you’re already paying more for your food… Taurine supplementation, if you happen to be one of the people who needs it, is another added expense and hassle. A few vegans have also found it necessary to supplement carnitine, which is considerably more expensive. Oh, and most vegans don’t get enough calcium and end up with bone problems. Many are also Vitamin D deficient, especially if living at high latitudes, if dark skinned, or if religiously using sunscreen. And Vitamin D2 (plant derived) is not as easily absorbed as D3 (which ONLY comes from animals), so you need even more of it.

Then there’s protein.

I personally cannot properly digest nuts. I react the way lactose intolerant people do to milk if I consume pistachios, walnuts, or pecans. Almonds are actively toxic to me. Hazelnuts mess with my brain.

Because I am on thyroid medication, I am not supposed to consume large quantities of soy, as it can make my thyroid worse, throwing off my dosage. I can have some, but I cannot use it as a major protein source. This is also true for trans men (the phytoestrogens intefere with testosterone therapy), cis men with low testosterone (same reason) and women with a family history of breast cancer (elevates risk). Excessive soy consumption has also been linked to early puberty in girls (Again, phytoestrogens) and reproductive/sexual problems in both sexes. Eating a bit of soy is fine, but tofu should not be used as a meat substitute except for the occasional meal.

This limits my access to non-animal proteins to beans and grains. If I was gluten intolerant as well (I’m not, but it’s in my family), it would be a real problem. The only dairy substitute available to me is rice milk (and rice causes many of the same problems environmentally as raising beef).

Oh, but it’s better for the environment, right?

Nope.

In addition to the already-mentioned quinoa, we’re cutting down rain forest in Mexico to grow avocados. Rice production is almost as bad for the environment as factory-based beef production for similar reasons. Also, plant-based foods, esp. fruit and fresh vegetables, are more likely to end up being wasted.

Studies indicate that if we all gave up meat tomorrow, all 7 billion of us gave up animal products forever, the good side would be the reduction in antibiotic use and greenhouse gas emissions.

How about the bad side?

1.3 billion people would lose their jobs overnight. 1.3 billion. 987 of them are poor.

Another thing that Ban Eating Meat Tomorrow types forget is that veganism is not necessarily the most effective use of farmland.

Uh, what?

The statement that if everyone switched to a vegan diet we would need a fraction of our current farmland assumes all farmland is created equal.

It simply is not.

I suspect that a lot of this perspective either comes from city dwellers who have no clue about farming or from people in the US breadbasket where there is a lot of high quality farmland suitable for raising food for humans.

The last global census in 2008 said that at that time, if all 6 billion people went vegan, it would need 3,068,444,911 acres of arable land. At the time there was about 3,212,369,959 acres of arable land: That is to say land suitable for raising crops humans can eat.

However, we’re building on, or otherwise destroying, arable land at the rate of about 1% a year and the population has grown.

We literally do not have enough arable land to feed everyone a plant-based diet.

And there are parts of the world that have a worse proportion of arable land to land only suitable for pasture than the US. Scotland comes immediately to mind. People in these places would have to import most of their food. I’m not sure Iceland could survive without eating fish.

If we all gave up eating meat tomorrow many of us would starve. I’m not exaggerating or being alarmist.

I’m also not criticizing people who choose not to eat animal products (just please make sure you get the required nutrients).

I am criticizing the “I don’t eat animal products and nobody else should either” crowd. Because it’s not that simple.

Also, bluntly, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause mood disturbances and paranoia…

But again, if you have to consume artificial supplements for whatever reason (unless it’s a personal absorption issue) your diet is not healthy.

Sorry, it’s just not.

emphasisonthehomo:

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.

Oops, someone dropped the truth.

As the debate of meat eating versus vegan diets continues to resonate online and across the supermarket isles, I was surprised to read what can be regarded as something of a rare happening with Tyson Foods investing in non-meat produce crafted by a vegan start up.

Has hell frozen over? Not exactly even if major changes do happen across the industrial realm where some companies manage to understand what’s the future like. By saying this I’m not making a prediction that in near future we will stop eating meat all together; however, winds are blowing towards a direction that sees valid alternatives to traditionalism in food.

I’d like to point out first one issue that is often ignored when we debate meat and how it’s delivered on out tables. When speaking of animal farming we are all aware of the poor conditions some pastures are placed in order to maximize profitability. Endless quantities of meat constantly appear across thousand of supermarkets of all size in our country, creating a market behavior that does not directly reflect the consumer demand, but it’s the correlation between animal farmers and distributors (aka supermarkets) where the game is played.

We can asses that by analyzing the large amount of beef, pork, chicken, along with the relative byproducts, which are thrown into the garbage every week by grocery stores because it becomes unsold and close to expiry date. So, in essence blaming families as the main cause of animal conditions is not fair, but it’s the display of abundance distributors (aka supermarkets) perpetrate which drive the production demand high with the waste.

Tyson Foods is one of the largest North American dealer in terms of animal products from big restaurant chains to the frozen food section where many shop. The scale of manufacturing and client sale is very big and very lucrative, with a noticeable impact that comes with influential behavior since millions of people eat these products.

Beyond Meat, the vegan startup, has been producing valuable alternatives to burger patties that aesthetically look like any ground beef you could use to slap on your BBQ grill, and allegedly critics who have tasted it can confirm the similarity with the original animal product. Packages are already available across different grocery stores in the US and are planned to expand beyond the border. It’s essential to monitor if this deal continues and how this protein alternative can influence the markets and competitors.

This shift in behavior is nonetheless very interesting because it places a name like Tyson, often denounced for cruelty against its chicken and cows, changing the tune of their score and able to understand the trends happening out there not only on the internet but among communities.

Tyson knows that meat prices will continue to go up and its product consumption risks to go down; a major shift in dietary habits among the population translates in billions in losses. In the last twenty years we have seen all sorts of boycotting against fast-food meals and processed food, fields in which Tyson is fully responsible and well placed among.

In order to begin a portfolio diversification to develop with solid grounds, Tyson is making the smart move not to continue placing all its eggs in one basket. Investing in future trends proves to be a test against core industrial values that defy the traditionalism of certain markets. This also plays well on Tyson’s PR strategy so it can wield the ‘environmentally friendly’ card to the media, and who knows, perhaps a change in their marrow philosophy.

Vegan Beefcake

Check out that powerhouse flex from this beefcake!

Nutrition facts aside, the most asked question for vegans and vegetarians could possibly be ‘where do you get your protein?’

Taking images from 50’s beefcake and fitness magazines, I address this uncertainty with a tongue in cheek twist of words.

Toned, buff brawn declares – with an emblazoned V for victory – vegans are 100% protein!
