I’ve been really trying to make extra effort when it comes to sustainability over the past few years. Several changes I’ve made to my daily routine include eliminating single-use items like plastic straws, paper coffee cups, bottled water, plastic cutlery and disposable chopsticks. Changes like these are so easy to make once you get yourself a good little kit of reusable items you can carry with you at all times. Oh yeah, and my shoes are made from recycled ocean plastic @parley.tv. Wearing my new @zanerobe yeti hood and flintlock tee

One of the most frequent questions I am asked about veganism is how difficult is it to be vegan when traveling/on tour? Well hopefully this photo collage speaks for itself, this is just a snippet of some of the amazing meals I've experienced on this European tour. On top of my dining experiences around Europe and UK thanks to previous experience, word of mouth but most importantly happycow.org @happycowguide (of vegan, veg & veg friendly restaurants and grocery stores around he world), I've also been able to stock up on groceries, snacks and easy meals from health stores & markets such as @hollandandbarrett (all over UK), @veganz grocery stores (many parts of Germany) and @dennsbiomarkt (many parts of Germany and Europe).

I've been nominated as one of @Peta2's hottest veg celebrities.

Great news for meat lovers who want to live a more compassionate, sustainable and healthy lifestyle but don't want to give up meat! @impossible_foods have created this burger entirely from plants (coconut, wheat, beets and more) which has no cholesterol, zero carcinogens and no hormones or antibiotics yet tastes very much like a real burger. It can also be made using 95% less land, 74% less water, and with 87% less greenhouse gas emissions. Everybody wins ❤️🌱

I love haircut day! 👁

its weird that mostly all vegetarians and vegans only wanna fight for animals but not the underpaid/overworked people that pick their $15 organic grapes from Whole Foods in the sweltering sun for 15 hours at a time

rmmmmrmmmmmrmmmmm

it’s weird that non-vegans assume that all vegans can afford to buy food from Whole Foods?? And completely erase vegans on Food Stamps and poor vegans and homeless vegans??

And never want to talk about the fact that non-vegans themselves ALSO eat produce?? More actually from an agricultural standpoint??

And non-vegans only want to bring up this (faux) concern for underpaid/overworked people when vegans try to fight animal abuse??

Where are the non-vegans concerned about the underprivileged (often undocumented) immigrants working in slaughterhouses?? Where they’re expected to murder hundreds of animals per hour?? Without a break??

Where are the non-vegans concerned about the fact that they can be paid less than minimum wage and denied compensation for injuries?? Where are the non-vegans concerned about the fact that these people die from preventable injuries because of how grueling and fast-paced their work is?? Where are the non-vegans concerned about the fact that these workers cannot report their injuries because they risk dismissal or deportation?? And are threatened with such??

Where are the non-vegans concerned about the effects of such a traumatic environment?? Why do I only hear about underpaid/overworked people when someone tries to fight against animal abuse??

My guess is because you don’t actually care about these workers as much as you claim to.

What are you doing for these workers?? Are you actively boycotting Whole Foods?? Or grapes?? Or other produce?? Do you buy local?? Do you make sure all the produce you eat is ethically sourced?? Or do you eat the same damn grapes but still insist it’s the vegans who are selfish??

What this boils down to (and what these arguments ALWAYS boil down to) is “I don’t want to go vegan/vegetarian.” And the argument posed is the one where you try to shift the guilt away from yourself and insinuate that vegans/vegetarians are still devoid of moral compass despite the fact that we actively boycott an industry that exploits the same demographic you claim to care so much about.

If you want to fight for agricultural workers, please, by all means do so. But don’t only “fight” for them when it’s convenient. Don’t feign concern for them just to try to shut up vegans/vegetarians. It’s offensive and too transparent.
