Decisions decisions

To ditch commerce and commence a bachelor of health sciences in nutritional and dietetic medicine… UGH

[kellehd]

@jennacawthray I so see you helping others - this sounds amazing!

Veganism is not limiting. Meat-eaters think we only eat salads.Take away animal flesh and products, and the only other food you can think of is lettuce. Whose diet is limiting?

BEING VEGAN DOES NOT MAKE YOU A GOOD PERSON

In the same way that not abusing a dog doesn’t make you a good person…Abstaining from moral atrocities should be the minimum of what is expected. Veganism should not be seen as some high point of a mountain top, or the end goal to a long “journey”, but as the mandatory MINIMUM that is to be expected of anyone who claims to live a morally consistent life.

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.

Veganism is not a “sacrifice.” It is a joy.

Friendly seasonal reminder

Don’t keep lilies in your house if you have cats.

They will die.

Even if they just breathe in the pollen. Or get it on their fur. They will fucking die. Do not do it.

SIGNAL BOOST THIS SHIT

I did not know this reblogging

“… the most toxic household plants for cats is the common lily. In fact, eating as little as two or three leaves from the flowers can result in liver failure and, if left untreated, can have a fatal outcome for cats.” (Source: PetMD) 

Please take care of your feline friends!

Jesus Christ this post may have just saved my cat’s life. The fact that this just happened to show up on my dash today is an actual miracle?!  Yolandi has been chewing on the leaves of my peace lily by my bedside for the last 2 nights and has vomited a few times, she’s been lethargic, hunched up as though she has a tummy ache, and unusually quiet.  Since seeing this post 40 minutes ago she’s now staying at the vet overnight on a drip, getting tests done, and being monitored. THANK YOU OP! 

[kellehd]

I hope 'Landi is ok @jennacawthray! xx
