Well they’re not wrong 🤔
humans need more than just milk, but dairy sure does contain a lot of what we do need
“Milk” isn’t a nutritional need. Neither human nor calf has a nutritional need for “milk.” We need the components inside the milk. You don’t need milk but it is a good source of stuff you do need.
White vegans when indigenous people agree with them: Wow, I feel such an incredible connection to Mother Earth and all of its incredible bounties. Sometimes I really feel like I have an Indian soul. What a gentle and kind people, who would never hurt a living soul. We can only aspire to be more like them 😊
White vegans when indigenous people disagree with them: You’re a disgusting monster hiding behind your culture as an excuse to murder. It’s no different from people using culture as an excuse to bury women alive or mutilate children. I’m not saying that you deserve your genocide, but the fact that you haven’t evolved from your evil, savage ways just proves that you’re just as bad as colonizers. Kill yourself and make the world a better place 😊
Thread on colonization leading to changes in diets and more health problems, and white vegan moral arguments.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
yall are boycott this vote with your money that until it comes to food huh
then its futile and useless to even try
i dont have time to get into this but it really..idk.
Boycotts work when you want to protest a particular company or organization, not an entire food group that we as human beings rely on. This would be like trying to boycott clothing or shoes or vaccines. None of us claim boycotts are useless, just that your ideas of it are.
nearly 90,000 ppl signed this petition to get a college to stop raising sheep on their sustainable solar farm and its such a fucking joke ppl are sending the people who work for this program death threats like-
When vegans attack the meat and dairy industries indiscriminately they never manage to shut down the big factory farms; they shut down the small farms like this that are doing the right thing. They are actively sabotaging efforts to make agriculture more environmentally and socially sustainable while removing competition for the factory farms that have profit as their priority. If they directed this much attention at farms growing plant products unsustainably they might actually achieve something.
MARVELOUS update
they literally don’t even know if this handful of animals actually got killed after living well on a small farm and they’re “keeping up the petition in memory” like a dead child gkcbffjcncnn
Not gonna mention how some woman used her dead child as a tool to try and get the place shut down? Like she used her child as a prop in her argument.
WOT
yeah …….. 😬
I hate to tag you in stuff because I’m sure you have much better things to do, but….
@acti-veg
I’d like to make sure you and anyone else thinking of taggin acti in my posts knows that I have them blocked. Mainly because my mentions were 50% people tagging them to fight their battles for them and y’all seem unable to even defend your own morals yourselves. Leave me out of it please! It’s creepy.
Might as well tag Alex Jones to back you up in a debate lol
kellire replied to your post
“kellire replied to your link “Netflix vegan hit ‘What the Health’…”
So have you found any reliable studies that point to a plant-based/vegan diet as healthy?
I guess it would depend on your definition of “healthy”?. You can’t really label certain diets like vegetarianism / veganism as healthy because it depends on the person. Someone that needs the protein provided only by meat obviously wouldn’t be healthy on a vegetarian / vegan diet. ect.
Most of the few papers i’ve found have been more on some scientists arguing veganism / vegetarianism being the way forward to save the environment. These papers don’t really have any experimental data but rely more on the previous research of other papers. And at the end of the day the scientists writing those papers were not experts in that specific field, and their paper didn’t sway me. Haven’t really found many (unbiased) ones that state plant-based diets are healthier than meat based diets.
There’s is a lot more papers however that state that reducing the consumption of red meats will be both healthier and more environmentally sound. Most people take this to mean “then cutting out all meat / plant only diets must be the best!” which is not what these papers are saying at all.
Anyways enough of me rambling on. Here are some research papers:
The impact of vegan diet on B-12 status in healthy omnivores: five-year prospective study - Now vegans need to take supplements for the animal products they’re not consuming. But there’s not been many studies on the long-term effects of these supplements but I did find this short-term five year study on B-12 supplements.
A vegan or vegetarian diet substantially alters the human colonic faecal microbiota
Possible effect of a vegan diet upon lung function and the cardiorespiratory response to submaximal exercise in healthy women.
Health effects of vegan diets
Maternal vegan diet causing a serious infantile neurological disorder due to vitamin B 12 deficiency
Comparison of nutritional quality of the vegan, vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian and omnivorous diet
The low-AGE content of low-fat vegan diets could benefit diabetics–though concurrent taurine supplementation may be needed
There’s a lot more papers on the nutrition benefits and negatives of plant-based / vegan diets, just like any other diet.
I don’t agree with people stating vegan / plant-based diets are more healthy because there isn’t any overwhelming evidence that suggests that it is. Both diets have risks and benefits, and depends on the individual person.
I saw a post with you talking about plants being sentient. I want to keep an open mind, so I was wondering why you think so. Thanks
sentient is defined as being able to perceive or “to feel.” New scientific research shows that plants may be sentient and, based on the scientific evidence and my own knowledge of plants, I believe they are too.
Here are a couple scientific articles:
Calvo P, Sahi V, Trewavas A 2017, ‘Are plants sentient?’, Plant Cell and Environment, vol.40, no.11, pp.2858-2869; DOI: 10.1111/pce.13065
Scialdone A, Mugford S, Feike D, Skeffington A, Borrill P, Graf A, Smith A, Howard M 2013, ‘Arabidopsis plants perform arithmetic division to prevent starvation at night’, Plant Biology, DOI: 10.7554/eLife.00669
Here is also a good article and this one too and this one!, that goes through some of the above research and explains it in a summarised and easier to understand terms compared to just reading through scientific journals. Which may be a bit to dry and hard to understand for most.
Companies are “going v*gan” because they want to reduce the “problems” they cause and not because they realize they have another demographic to profit off of uwu
Us: animal agriculture is trying to improve animal welfare
Vegans: IMPOSSIBLE! They just want PROFIT!!
Also vegans: these companies are going vegan because they are more moral than the evil carnists uwu
I'm curious as to why you have a distaste for vegans? I think it's perfectly fine and good that farmers have and do what they do with farmed animals, I'm just veg cause I dont wanna support the industry taking business from farmers. Have you found most believe differently? Cause I'm about to cause some unrest amongst my people if everybody isnt loving and supporting farmers the way we should
Majority of them are absolutely horrid people. They know nothing about agriculture or animal welfare yet think themselves experts. All while treating actual experts eg. scientists and farmers like idiots and garbage. They hurt actual welfare efforts and the animals they claim to care about, harbour alot of racism + ableism, are outright violent and are some of the worst people I’ve had the displeasure of being around.
As long as you aren’t like the above then I have no beef (mind the pun) with you
i absolutely cannot stand vegan takes on beekeeping if i see one more person say beekeepers are spreading invasive species and they should switch to native bees im going to go crazy. yeah that worked so well lets just use bumblebees! oh wait they already tried that in greenhouses and it spread a shit ton of diseases to wild bumblebees but okay yeah native = good and we just keep honeybees cause we love exploitation and no other reason
As a bee scientist telling beekeepers to just use native bees is so fucking dumb. Native bees often only pollinate very specific flora and crops and most beekeepers make most of their income by being paid to have their bees pollinate crops + honey production. You can’t eat alot of native bee honey and when it comes to native species that you can, like Australian stingless bees they only product less than 1kg a year not enough to be sold for public consumption.
Beekeepers also literally help prevent wild honeybee colonies from spreading and help rid (or in cases were its necessary) or destroy colonies that have diseases / pests which prevents them from spreading. Without beekeepers we’d have alot more invasive wild bee colonies.
Only 1.9% of total U.S. Greenhouse Gas emissions come from cattle! Eliminating or reducing cattle in this country would not only have a MINIMAL impact on cutting emissions, it would remove one of the most nutrient dense foods we eat (beef) and lower the sustainability and health of our pastures and farm land. Farmers should continue to work to minimize their cattle’s impact on the environment, but the good of cattle far outweighs the bad and it doesn’t make sense to eliminate them!
Beef cattle build soil health through grazing and spreading of manure. They allow farmers to grow food for people during the winter. They convert poor forage due to drought into high quality food. They take millions and millions of acres in this country that could not grow food and convert the grass into high quality food. They also improve all of these acres by grazing them and putting nutrients back in the soil. Beef provides many essential nutrients in a diet and is a cheap, healthy, great tasting protein!

How several former vegans and vegetarians across the country came to see meat as their calling.
highlight quotes;
“… she returned to eating meat after learning that the soybean and corn monocultures that accounted for much of her vegan diet were wreaking havoc on the environment.“
“When we first opened, people were surprised at the prices,” he said. “But our costs are much higher than what a giant company pays. We are paying to have control over the quality of our animals, what they are being fed, how they are being treated, transported, slaughtered and cut up. Once people understood that, the business took off.”
“As soon as I started eating meat, my health improved,” she said. “My mental acuity stepped up, I lost weight, my acne cleared up, my hair got better. I felt like a fog lifted.”
“You can’t be healthy unless the animals you eat are healthy,”
“Rather than being passive and just not supporting an industry I don’t like, I’m taking an active approach by taking thousands of dollars out of it, “ he said. “When people come to me, they aren’t going to Costco for meat.”
“Referring to themselves as ethical butchers, they have opened shops that offer meat from animals bred on grassland and pasture, with animal well-being, environmental conservation and less wasteful whole-animal butchery as their primary goals.”
Instead of trying to poise this as “haha vegans look even y’all can’t do it” express it for what it truly is.
“It’s a sharp contrast to the industrial-scale factory farming that produces most of the nation’s meat, and that has come under investigation and criticism for its waste, overuse of antibiotics, and inhumane, hazardous conditions for the animals. The outcry has been so strong that some meat producers say they are changing their practices. But these newer butchers contend that the industry is proceeding too slowly, with a lack of transparency that doesn’t inspire trust.”
It’s hilarious how the ppl in the comments are squealing about “but most plants are fed to animals tho” when it literally says “grassfed/pasture-based meat” here, as in these animals aren’t being fed corn or soy 🙄
(I’m pro-growing less corn and soy, and feeding animals pasture as well as byproducts from crops/produce in general we should grow more food and less oil)

People like you are singlehandedly destroying the planet.
Strange, and here I thought it was the billionaires. Nope, it’s the broke-ass minimum wage college students
Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
i won't eat honey because it exploits bees [eats crops pollinated by bees kept by humans]
My favourite is how they insist beekeeping is exploiting bees, UNLESS it’s done by other vegans, then it’s good actually.
