Veganism is not a fad diet to lose weight and/or get more healthy.
It has nothing to do with fasting. Vegans don’t only eat fruit.
It is not about amassing online followers with your groovy, plant based lifestyle.
It is not a diet!
Veganism is an ethical stance against any form of animal exploitation.
One can be an unhealthy vegan. Or a super healthy one. That’s up to the vegan.
The chances are that when a celebrity or content creator stops being vegan, they never truly were. They were on a diet.
Although, veganism is highly beneficial for the environment, animal agriculture being the second highest cause of Climate Change, one should never lose sight of animal liberation.
Veganism is a potent package that can free animals from exploitation, combat climate change and other environmental issues, and deter and reverse certain diseases, including, possibly, deterring harmful viruses. Surely, one of those benefits can shift your cultural conditioning, just a tad, are you not even curious to try some amazing plant based foods?
Otherwise, we’re trapped in a cycle of abuse. Animals, earth, earth, animals, leading to our own self-destruction.
So, make the initial change for anthropocentric concerns, if you must. Do it out of curiosity. But stick with it for the animals.
Make a small change then steadily expand to everything you eat, drink, wear, use. The more we do it, the more they will strive to come up with satisfying alternatives. We have the power.
Don’t buy into Big Ag propaganda and political rhetoric. Veganism is not an evil, elitist plot to take over the world by weakening humanity. It’s a key factor in saving us. I’ll say it again, we have the power!
Come on, let’s change our food system to one that doesn’t rely on abusing the earth and animals.
