The only way to have sustainable land use in this country, and avoid ecological breakdown, is to vastly reduce consumption of meat and dairy, according to the UK government’s food tsar.

Whoever has looked into this abyss of torment that people bring upon animals no longer sees any light; it lies like a shadow over everything, and he can no longer rejoice impartially.

No matter how many times you say “this is why people hate vegans”, it’s not an excuse to still be knowingly buying animal products. No matter how any one vegan or plant based person acts, that’s no excuse to harm non-human animals. Stop knowingly supporting oppression and violence when you have a choice.

"food choices are not moral" they literally are lol? if you make the choice to buy food that was harvested by enslaved people, is depleting natural resources, destroying the environment or hurting sentient animals, then that is unethical.

since when are consumer choices free from moral judgement? like, think about what you are saying here for one second.

(and before anyone @ me, i said "make the chocie". if you do not have a choice i am not talking about you)

Honestly as a poor poc the idea that veganism is classist and racist, is itself classist and racist. It erases poor poc from the movement even though we are the majority and backbone of it and is usually said to make people feel better about eating animals and not out of genuine concern for poor poc.

The fact that veganism isn’t accessible to some poor poc is an example of how the animal agriculture is so massive and oppressive that it forces itself on the vulnerable, and implying it’s a fault of vegans puts the blame on vegan civilians , many who are poor themselves, instead of massive corporations that are killing animals,the planet, and poor people/poc.

people on the communism site getting angry about veganism will forever be funny to me. you're mad? because i decided not to buy something due to the unethical production process? you can't be serious

Studies show that approaching youth with a bystander-intervention model is actually a lot more effective for reducing sexual assault, and it is also more enthusiastically received than programs that bill themselves as anti-rape.

We can tell youth that they are basically “rapists waiting to happen” (anti-rape initiative), or we can tell them that we know they would intervene if they saw harm happening to someone and we want to help empower them to do that (bystander intervention). The kids jump in with both feet for the latter! It was amazing to see children (and young boys in particular) excited to do this work and engage their creativity with it. Also, studies show that not only do they go on to intervene, but they also do not go on to sexually assault people themselves. Bystander intervention also takes the onus off the person being targeted to deter rape and empowers the collective to do something about it. It answers the question in the room when giggling boys are carrying an unconscious young woman up the stairs at a house party, and people are not sure how to respond and are waiting for “someone” to say or do something.
