The conception of vegans eating $14 salads at fancy overpriced restaurants every day gets so odd when you actually look at the demographics of vegans and what they eat. For starters, vegans & vegetarians are actually poorer on average (they are statistically most likely to make less than $30k a year) and their diets tend to be cheaper than an omnivore's. I'm sure this depends on where you live, but these statistics make the stereotype of a haughty wealthy vegan immediately stop making sense. Especially when we do care much about vegetables & fruits being cheap and accessible.

A lot of vegans actually eat quite plainly and their staples are some of the cheapest stuff ever. Maybe if you're in a rich city with a ton of overpriced restaurants in general you'll see hideously expensive vegan options, but I don't have those around, so I just barely eat out anywhere at my campus now. The only thing that's really expensive about veganism is, like, the meat imitation meal stuff that you don't need anyway (hence why the hype has died down since vegans don't tend to buy it either). And maybe clothes but IDK about that yet.

At the same time it's also not true they just eat the same 5 foods over and over because veganism actually has quite a wide array of food options. (They do tend to eat tofu over and over but that's just because tofu can do everything). Most of the fanciest vegan stuff I've seen is just vegans having crazy cooking skills, or meals from cultures that have had largely plant-based meals for centuries and have honed that craft to perfection.

[shoechoe]

People like to zone in on the most privileged vegans imaginable, and to be fair, these do tend to be the loudest people in the community. But veganism is actually quite full of disenfranchised groups- poor people, women, and Black people (who are over 2x as likely to be vegan as the general population in the US), for example.

Veganism is not different from your average progressive movement in this way. Despite this, I feel like non-vegans would really rather not acknowledge it... Since nobody wants to go vegan, and "I just don't want to do it" is an uncomfortable answer, people have to imagine vegans are everything they hate. To the right, vegans are weak, hyper-empathetic, sickly, and feminine, and to the (non-vegan) left, vegans are rich snobs secretly doing even more catastrophic environmental damage because of pleather, or something.

This results in veganism being hated by everyone for mostly imaginary reasons... Even the aggressive vegans who'd yell at you to go vegan have no real power over you TBQH, it's weird to focus on them.

okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:

look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly

i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.

look just gonna be really ndn about it for a moment but no one can claim to know the internal experience of animals. no one can claim to know the internal experience of plants. no one can claim to know the internal experience of the earth. theres a part of my heart that is always the girl telling my philosophy professor that we cant know the flower turning towards the sun is "purely instinct." and if u disagree then thats fine idc its just My Soulful Opinion in afraid

[shadeslayer]

its frustrating doubly to talk abt on here bc not only is everyone gonna laugh me out of the room like they did when i tried to bring up animism in my white philosophy classes but also like. i know people are gonna get mad like "oh so animals can have morals?" etc of like. look i Knowww and i agree that the anthropomorphism of animals by people is harmful absolutely! but this colonial empirical stance of that nothing feels emotion or has desires in this world except for human beings is so sick to me. what a terrible rotten world to live in where plants dont love the sun and love the shade and love the rain. "they dont have the brain synapses firing to-" 1) thats not all that emotion is oh my lord 2) constantly they are coming out with more science that proves that plants communicate with each other in Scientifically Proven ways. your need to have the world fit an aristotelian victorian bullshit diagnostic criteria is sick

[phinarei]

Yes! I'm Yurok so I always kind of feel like I'm going to get side eyed by people when I talk about this.

Look, I don't know if I believe in souls at all, but I do know that my dog gets embarrassed. My cats get jealous. The wasps in the back yard trust me.

I posted a comment about how plants have SOME kind of intelligence and listed some of the recent research. Someone came and replied that it isn't intelligence, it's chemical or electric signals. He said we need to "be more discerning about what we call intelligence." I have never read such white ass colonizer bullshit in my life.

What the ACTUAL fuck do people think human intelligence is? It is fucking chemical and electrical signals in the god damned brain. Animals' brains are made of the same exact stuff working with the exact same chemicals ours are. Why would those chemicals work differently in an animal brain?

And if it was all just chemicals, then those chemicals would always trigger the same response. Plants are capable of choosing to ignore those signals. Being capable of making a choice is SOME kind of intelligence and I doubt how much someone has if they deny it.

No, I don't think they experience the world in the same way I do. Our perception of reality is based on our brain interpreting signals. That is unique to every single living thing on earth so even other people are experiencing it differently. But they ARE experiencing the world in a meaningful way. And the fact that a lot of people don't think they do is very much a sickness.

And anthropomorphising animals really is dangerous, but that's not what I'm getting at. I'm not saying that they're basically people. I'm saying they have just as much of an inner life as we do. And that assuming that all that looks like is unthinking instincts is one of the most damaging things white Christians brought over with them.

also i did not have pickled jalapeños so i just diced up fresh jalapeño and covered it with a mix of apple cider vinegar and salt, and put the container in the fridge before i started prepping the other ingredients. it worked great <3

Biodiversity can be achieved through executive dysfunction!

[urban-homesteading]

Diverse, well-integrated farms like coltura promiscua support significantly more native biodiversity than modern monocultures. Source: BUNDESAMT, F. U., & LANDSCHAFT, W. U. (1997). Umwelt in der Schweiz 1997. Berna, Buwal.

[freetheshit-outofyou]

True enough, but, monocultures produce significantly more crop yield with lest wasted space. The difference between the top two images and the last are the top two are designed to keep a farm fed or part of a community where the last one is designed to keep masses fed and self resupply seed and feed for the farm. Different farming for different needs. Small "diverse" patches are more susceptible to blights, crop failure, and destruction caused by the local insect and animal life. Where large crop fields are less susceptible to such things and proper land rest and crop rotation ensures the proper usages of land and water resources. If you think your local store is supplied all year by the top two you are either diluted or live in a very small town. When they say "locally sourced" they are talking about large farms not mom and pop's vegetable garden.

[urban-homesteading]

>Small "diverse" patches are more susceptible to blights and crop failure. Where large crop fields are less susceptible to such things.

I think you may have this backward. Monocrops are more susceptible to blights and require genetic engineering and specialty patented pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides to survive. These pesticides then kill both native animals and plants, while building up in our water supply and causing expensive and deadly long term issues in human populations such as cancer. While small diverse crops are less susceptible to total crop failure because you have different species to fall back on if you were to lose, for example, that year's corn crop.

While monocultures do produce a far higher yield, something that is currently needed in our high human population world, they are also much worse for the environment and lead to many problems. Plus, they are completely dependent on the fossil fuel industry, as they require fossil fuels to make their fertilizers. The straining of the earth's resources is a different problem, but a definite step in the right direction is to eliminate food waste as currently 30-40% of all food is thrown away before it is eaten.

If you want to learn more about this particular system, I recommend you look into coltura promiscua. It's a really fascinating system of agriculture that was almost lost, and until recently, was the last example of the indigenous forest gardens of pre-agricultural Europe. This system is especially helpful for people who want to grow more of their own food, but don't want to destroy the biodiversity found on their land or want to offer protection to animals that may have been chased off of other people's land.
