#fat vegans

Fat folk are so often rejected from the vegan movement as “bad examples” of veganism, and vegans are so often rejected from the fat-positive movement as “restrictive eaters.” If we are unapologetically fat and unapologetically vegan, there are very few places we can go.

On Being a Bad Vegan Fatty by Jenny Marie

Hi. I want to know if other vegans experience this and how to stop it. So basically, when someone teases me for being vegan, I automatically judge their body if they're on the heavier side. I'm a little chubby myself, but when an annoying nonvegan starts talking i feel like saying "I can't take fat peoples opinions seriously". Like with my family, I am probably one of the healthiest, and to watch them with missing teeth and overweight bodies judge me, I have an urge to say something. I don't

(2) want to be a fat shamer, and as i said i'm not skinny myself. I also don't judge overweight vegans. In fact, i think it's good to see a variety of body representation in the vegan community. When it's a nonvegan, smug faced, trying to test me, I want to attack them by commenting on their weight. It's not something i'm proud of. I've seen vegans make jokes about nonvegans getting diseases and stuff, not so much calling them fat. But the evil part of me wants me to destroy their self esteem

Honestly I think this is really more to do with your own thought process and biases than it does with your veganism, though I must say that shaming meat eaters on the basis that they’re fat is far too prevalent among vegans. We’re all pretty much conditioned to find fat disgusting, and to find fat people “less than” in some way, and that’s something we all need to make a conscious effort to unlearn. Just try to stay away from the whole “who is better than who” thing of shaming each other’s bodies, constantly remind yourself that what other people do with their bodies is none of your concern, just as yours should be none of theirs. Veganism is not about bodies, or nutrition, or fitness, or health- it is solely an ethical position and nothing else should really come into it.

Why some vegans hate fat people so much? I’m vegan. I’m fat. And it’s so sad to me that people who share the same mindset are so hateful towards me. I exercise, I eat healthy and I’m trying to lose weight but well sometimes I just want to eat fries, vegan nuggets, vegan cookies and other vegan fast foods. Why not? It’s cruelty free, it’s vegan. And it’s my body.
