Mine is planters peanuts with gelatin.

How to know if someone criticising factory farming is NOT a vegan?

Non vegans always have to say how they are not vegans if they agree even remotely with something that has to do with veganism. Almost like they are afraid of getting lynched by both vegans and other omnis.

I find this sooooooo hot I want him to torture and murder me like he did those birds 😝😝 animal abuse is the SEXIEST quality a man can have 😍😍💕💕💕💕

I remember my vegan phase in my youth, which I now wear as a badge of honour. I really committed and had all the T-shirts and actually still have some recipe books on my shelf look at that! So I totally understand and you should treat me as a wise soul because I was vegan long before you were anyway, I can give you vegan tips like local restaurants etc. and share stories of all those great deeds I did years ago which I no longer do because well they’re already done! I really ticked that off my list of being an amazing person so I feel pretty achieved from that and I can rest easy in my bed knowing I used to do some good in the world.

You hate PETA because they are vegoons, and also because you ate up a bunch of blatantly untrue fearmongering propaganda

I hate PETA because they are not vegoons

We are not the same

/uj I may have made this exact observation before if that's the case I'm not a repost bot I'm just stupid and maybe have dementia

I struggled with this a lot, and decided to raise my daughter “mostly vegan”.

I had a lot of social anxiety as a child, and struggled to fit in. It’s important to me to make sure my daughter feels unique and special, but doesn’t feel singled out. I want her to be able to participate in the culture she was born into. And sadly, that culture is not vegan.

I also wanted to expose her early and often to non-vegan allergens, namely eggs, fish and shellfish, as recommended by world health authorities.

So the way it works in my house is that we mostly eat vegan, I’d say 80-90% of her calories. But about twice a week we’ll give her an egg, once a week some salmon, and once or twice a month I’ll try to get my hands on some kind of shellfish, usually oysters. When we’re with friends we let her try whatever meat they’re serving.

Personally my wife and I are still vegan, but my daughter is still a toddler, and for those of you without kids, sometimes you have to model how to eat something… if they don’t see you eat it, they won’t eat it, and that’s how you get a picky eater. So sometimes we have to eat whatever she’s eating until she digs in herself.

I don’t want my daughter to think of herself as vegan, or have a bunch of restrictions on her food as a child. I think she will resent it and rebel one day, or worse, develop an eating disorder. This isn’t due to veganism itself, it’s due to the consequences of being vegan in a non-vegan culture that is in fact hostile to vegans where I live.

So I prefer to just let her eat whatever she wants, strategically expose her to allergens, and broaden her palate to include meat (I don’t want her choking or gagging on it at a friend’s birthday party).

But… in terms of my cooking, breakfast lunch and dinner, will be mostly vegan. She won’t know why, but she’ll be used to eating lots of healthy vegan foods.

And as she gets older, I hope she’ll seek them out as her favourite comfort foods. So while most of us have to struggle to erase the habit of a lifetime of omni cooking, my daughter will naturally gravitate towards vegan food for taste reasons. Once she’s old enough to understand the ethical implications and strong enough to defend herself socially, she will have everything she needs to be a lifetime vegan.

I realize this is a complicated and nuanced perspective, not the black and white dogma that many on this sub expect everyone to follow, but that’s what makes the most sense to me as a parent. If that makes me a hypocrite, fine. But I’d rather be a hypocrite than an uncompromising authoritarian parent who gave their child a food allergy, social anxiety and an eating disorder. Not saying that will happen to all vegan parents, but it’s a major concern for me given my life experiences.

The carnist billboard company pulled this ad due to pressure on both sides by big dairy and Silk/Oatly. They’re obviously scared.

So my husband is pro-slavery and my children are finally old enough to understand the concept of slavery. They find it more convenient than having to work themselves. I've relucently agreed to it. It's their choice to take away the right of others to chose what to do. While they can't buy themselves slaves my husband has been normalising slavery for a longer time, since he has a slave to do housework when I'm not available to do it, so they now want some themselves.
