I am doing Veganuary this year, (for those that don’t know it is where you try to go completely vegan for the month of january) and so far I am really enjoying it. Though I want to come on here and voice some of my opinions of things i’ve noticed thus far in my journey. so far i have noticed that much of the vegan rhetoric and discourse is surrounding animal rights activism. while i’m not saying that is necessarily a bad thing, obviously we need dramatic change in the animal farming industries, i don’t notice nearly as much conversation surrounding climate activism or human rights. one major example i want to note is that once i made the switch from vegetarian to vegan i was trying to find some dairy substitutes to use in my cooking. on my hunt i was looking for a vegan butter alternative, but so far every single one that i have found is made with palm oil as its primary ingredient. and though they some companies claim that it is “ethically sourced” (some don’t even bother to mention that at all ) i did some digging and the “certifications” some of these companies received were from non legitimate companies and organizations. i want to ask, how is this more sustainable than just regular dairy butter? palm oil has significant negative environmental impacts just like the dairy industry. which brings me to my next point which is the reliance upon cashews and almonds for dairy substitutes. almonds are the least sustainable of any dairy alternative available. they use so much land and excess water that it’s almost laughable how much the almond cultivation resembles the land and water requirements necessary for dairy farming. not to mention the thousands of underpaid migrant workers who are abused in order to harvest those almonds. i think within the vegan community there needs to be a much larger conversation about sustainability and environmental ethics that focuses the same amount of attention that we do on animal rights activism.

i don’t want this to come off as knocking vegans nor am i trying to offer a solution everyone must follow and i do firmly believe that eating a plant based diet is overall much more beneficial for the environment than not. i am more just trying to bring awareness and open conversations within the community

(side note: i typed this out on my phone at work so apologies if it’s a little rambly or has any errors)

Have you heard of Veganuary?

Veganuary is a non-profit organisation that encourages people worldwide to try vegan for January and beyond. During the 2022 campaign, more than 620,000 people took our pledge to try a vegan diet, while more than 1,540 new vegan products and menu options were launched in our key campaign countries.

Throughout the year, Veganuary encourages and supports people and businesses alike to move to a plant-based diet as a way of protecting the environment, preventing animal suffering, and improving the health of millions of people.

If you're veg-curious, now is the perfect time to try vegan! And if you're already vegan, you can still sign up to show your support!
