The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

I'll be honest, I sometimes get pretty lonely irl being pretty much the only vegan in my life. I tried to organise a vegan group in my city last year and basically everyone who expressed interest was either vegetarian or "flexitarian"/"99% vegan"/"whatever".

Hate to feel like I'm spoiling the mood of the place but feel like you all would understand better than anyone I know in real life.

I know the feeling. I lived in a suburban/rural American town and tried to start a vegan club and literally no one even showed up! I think this is the most relatable part of vystopia the book where she describes that it feels like we are on the forefront of something big but no one else is there even though it seems so obvious.
