You know you’re at a vegan food truck when there are 3 white women with dreadlocks and Namaste tattoos.

Since the start of quarantine, my girlfriend and I have been making meals for each other. Both of our dietary restrictions in addition to cravings have made it challenging to come up with different meals to meet our needs.

• I have high cholesterol, lactose intolerant, low blood pressure, and low in iron. Also eating beef and pork make me flare up. My philosophy on eating comes from indigenous culture in that we should be eating sustainably, and think seven generations into the future. My philosophy also includes connecting with our cultural roots through food, and learning about someone’s history through their food.

• She is lactose intolerant, and cannot handle raw food, greasy/oily food, or overly sweet&salty food. Her philosophy on eating comes from the Japanese and Chinese belief that there should be enough variety, and that you shouldn’t overconsume one thing.

• For our health, we decided to transition into Pescatarian... by the end I’m hoping we end up vegetarian or vegan (although my partner is thoroughly convinced she isn’t able to fully transition.)

We quickly realized as asian women that:

There isn’t enough online representation for asian vegetarian/ vegan food bloggers. As such, the vegan food scene is heavily white-dominated.

There isn’t enough discussion on sustainable eating practices that meet dietary needs.

There’s lack of intersectionality and too much gatekeeping when it comes to whiteveganism.

Asian vegan food adapted by non-asian foodies lack authenticity and flavour.

So we decided to created a curated list of existing recipes and created our own recipes!

I’ll be posting every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

Motherland Monday

Monday’s will be dedicated to sharing traditional vietnamese recipes I grew up on, new recipes from Vietnam, and history/stories attached to these recipes.

Where-I-Ate Wednesdays

Wednesdays will be dedicated to listing restaurants I’ve been to locally and overseas that I can openly recommend and why.

Foodie Friday

Fridays will be dedicated to recipes I’ve created without the use of an existing recipe. See how badly I struggle, or see if I succeed.

In case y'all(white girls) forget Miley Cyrus is still trash. I don't give a fuck that she's vegan.

Sharing this on point Facebook post with permission from the author, Eshe Kiama Zuri :

Veganism IS NOT white. Veganism is also NOT new and NOT a fad. Whilst *White Veganism* might be newer and non-inclusive, there has been forms of inclusive and intersectional Veganism and non-animal product living and eating habits around for much longer.

We are struggling with a more recent influx in racism, fascism, animal-only and non-intersectional majority whiteveganism™ in a community that should be dedicated towards caring and understanding. I seriously struggle to understand how someone (especially those who become vegan, not born vegan) can open themselves up to the struggles of animals and wish to break down institutions that result in the death or torture of animals and yet completely disregard and even place more hate on fellow humans and feed into and strengthen the systematic oppression of people around them and try to silence and ignore the voice of marginalised people who are also being killed and tortured, whilst claiming to 'be' or 'listen' to the voices of the unheard, but only when they are non-humans.

By ignoring the obvious groups of this that are forming in local communities you are helping them grow and strengthen. And yes this also makes you a racist vegan because unless you are actively turning up to fight when these groups and people like these are trying to take over movements, attacking and abusing people and spreading fascist propaganda then you cannot call yourself anti-racist or anti-fascist and you most definitely are not an intersectional vegan in any way.

Veganism has become popular in the white community very recently with the help of celebrity culture and the internet amongst other things but for veganism to be seen as mostly white is completely wrong and feeds into the racism that is being bred in the white vegan community.

This has been boosted by the appropriation (and bastardisation) of meaningful cultural food and eating practices that were once ridiculed and looked down on, for instance, ital living in Jamaica and other Rasta communities, the understanding of eating without animal products in Hindu and Hare Krishna communities (and across Asia) as well as natural living in many African communities, including Ancient Egypt and pre-colonial West Africa to name a few.

If we search online for vegan recipes I can guarantee you that you will find an abundance of white food bloggers and chefs 'recreating' or 'discovering' food that has been passed down to us in our blood and through ancestral bonds. Curries have become cool and quirky when sold by your local 'enlightened' hippies and no longer the butt of jokes about their smell or Asian culture. Ital food is delicious and fun when it is accompanied by the 'dreadlocked' Ras Trents of the vegan scene and not seen as 'cheap food' or -insert racist joke here- and it goes on.

Whilst the word Vegan is new, the culture of caring about and not eating animals and animal products is not.

Non-white vegans are here and always have been. We have been fighting for animal equality and rights and we have been influencing and nurturing veganism since day. We don't appreciate our culture being taken away from us and repackaged for white consumption. We don't appreciate the lack of support we have from the white vegan community. And we definitely don't stand with the white vegan community if this is what they will allow. And we don't need too, we don't need a whiteapproved™ sticker on something that we have been doing for a long time and something that comes naturally to us. Whether we choose to use the word vegan or not, we are here and always have been.

To erase this is racist. To ignore this is racist. To choose to support your local culture vultures instead of people making their own cultural food is racism. To allow platforms for anti-human veganism is racism. To pretend that white vegans are a majority is racism. To eat our food without appreciating our culture is racism. And there is so much more. So instead of making us spend the time fighting racism and fascism in communities like this (as we also have to do everywhere in our daily lives), help us. Call it out. Make the animal rights movements and vegan communities a safe space, as it should be.

“i shouldn't have to say this but i need any and all #alllivesmatter #animalwhites assholes to fucking bounce already! your anti-blackness will not be tolerated!” @decolonize__ p.s. same applies to #whiteveganism’s token brown folks. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqxcH9pGzO/?igshid=n6phv3g1e74p

on behalf of black folks, we are intolerant to #whiteveganism like lactose. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlo-V4J_If/?igshid=1n2kedg1iiiac

here’s a bit of a timeline of mine and countless others taking aim at the racist project known as @thugkitchen, which will be steadily celebrated by white vegans and their tokens from the looks of the comments on the @veganhiphopmovement facebook page, which is pretty damn identical to how shit looked 6 years ago! #whiteveganism is just as vile as ever! so again, #thugkitchen change your name, but good luck with bringing your fucked up fans over to your new brand of activism. #antiblackness runs deep in the #animalwhites scene, “son!” https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaFbT-AaO5/?igshid=g2xxttduxgjk

@thugkitchen, very little to say to you that hasn’t already been expressed over the years by all of us, who tried to have dialogue with you and even protested your 1st book tour when we successfully caused you to cancel your speaking engagements in sf, oakland, seattle, and other cities (clearly not portland though). anyhow, as mentioned in both the vhhm and @decolonize__ tweets, you owe us a lot more than an apology for not only the damage you did, but all the work so many of us put in to urge you and the greater #whitevegan community (and sadly some tokens who actually thought your shit was cute) to acknowledge our gawdamn humanity and stop perpetuating #antiblackness! your racist project and your fans especially represent everything that is wrong with veganism so tuck in because you’ve got mad work to do! #animalwhites #whiteveganism https://www.instagram.com/p/CBY3v6hJ_IY/?igshid=344osrof5wfw
