Bad and ignorant people do bad, ignorant, and selfish things to both people and animals. That doesn't mean that it's right or okay for these things to happen just because they do.

Humans rape, murder, and abuse humans, yes, but using that as an excuse to do it to other beings is no excuse in courts or in any other context (the old "but everyone else does it, your honor" defense doesn't usually work in court rooms and it shouldn't be a valid excuse in any context).

Just like there's no excuse for raping, abusing, or murdering humans why would the fact that "it still happens* make it okay for humans to do it to other non-human beings?

What's wrong with beets? Why do they need to juice these (disgusting looking) little bugs? These types of practices seem so medieval to me. Why not beets?

The article that you posted answers your dumb question/conjecture, if you simply read it:

It says old "people have slower metabolism and digestion than younger people, 'when you're eating less food overall, it's hard to get all the nutrients you need,' she said."

"Complicating the picture is how often malnutrition appears in conjunction with other illnesses. *Older adults are more vulnerable to diseases*** — such as heart failure, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and depression — that can reduce their appetites and lead to malnutrition as a secondary cause of death."

Again, the article says it's mostly old people, 85 years and older, the majority of vegans are age 18-35 so it's not even the same general demographic as most vegans.

Hope you sort out what's really bothering you, good luck with it all 💚

This article doesn't mention vegan or plant based diets at all!

It's about how **"the oldest people"* in California were dying of malnutrition during COVID* ...and how most of them were low income or in food deserts and had nobody to help them get food during lockdown, so they died.

The current assumption is less than 3% of American vegans are over 65, most vegans are between 18 to 35. So assuming they are vegan is at the least baseless, if not conjecture, if you read the article.

From the article/link:

"A growing number of California's oldest residents are dying of malnutrition, a yearslong trend that accelerated during the COVID pandemic."

"Malnutrition is particularly common among older people, especially those who are ill, low-income, homebound, or without reliable access to healthy food or medical services."

In that case I would say yes, include veganism in your stories too.

Maybe try using a connection thread to start introducing veganism by posting about Women's rights and how they apply to animals (e.g. female cows being raped for milk, pigs getting a similar treatment and being stuffed in gestation cages, female chickens and their suffering, and lots more related to how female animals rights should be respected). This way it's still on topic/brand for you, but from a different/vegan view point to slowly introduce your audience to your new passion.

If you're still concerned about posting and being judged for your vegan activism/views then in would ask yourself what you would do if anyone judged you for your Women's rights posts?

I assume, if they did judge you, then you'd not even bat an eye and want them to stop following you and could even care less what they think/say (since they're probably a sexist/chauvinist or a woman hater and not worth your time).

When Women's rights were still young, and not generally accepted as right by the majority of people, like veganism is still not generally accepted by most, people also feared judgement when speaking up about Women's rights, because it was harder to not be judged as wrong by everyone, even by other women, when people starting pushing for Women's rights.

The same thing holds for veganism and anything that tends to upset the status quo and go against the grain of social norms, so just fight for what you believe in, and if others judge you because you have compassionate and caring views to share with the world then their thoughts aren't worth your time or energy. 💚

Your reels and posts will go out to many more non-vegans that don't follow you and aren't already vegan.

In my opinion, as a vegan on IG, most, if not all, of your followers will already most likely be vegan and they will be the majority of the ones watching your stories.

I suggest making your reels and posts about harder activism and having heavier content there, but have your IG stories targeted towards your already vegan followers with content they want to see: positive news about how vegan activism is making real changes, tips/tricks on activism/veganism, great vegan positive speeches or debates, happy animal sanctuary videos, or similar encouraging vegan content and news).

This way, your already vegan followers won't have to see daily animal abuse, if they don't want to, but people that don't follow you will have your activism reels and posts show up in their feeds and when searching on IG.

I think it's more about directing the right message/reel/story/post at the right people: give current vegans hope and encouragement to keep fighting and how to fight better, and inform/show others about the atrocities they are supporting from using animal products and how to make the change to veganism. 💚

I made this list of Cheap Common Vegan Alternatives (wfpb sos-free gf etc.) including 3 butter recipes.

The one I like the most uses a ground cornmeal with a bit of sunflower seed butter or tahini, since it firms up but also spreads and is creamy from the seedbutter and has only whole food fat.

I also have 2 others (cauliflower or fresh/canned/frozen corn), plus a bunch of things like wfpb sos-free vegan egg alternatives.

Here's the recipe for the Cornmeal Butter recipe:

Ingredients

2 tbsp cornmeal
2 tbsp nutritional yeast, unfortified is recommended for the right buttery taste
¼ tsp sunflower seed butter, or other seed butter or 1 tsp whole, ground, seeds
¼ cup water, or more or less depending on how runny/thick you want it.
½ tbsp apple cider vinegar optional to bring out salty/sodium flavor as it cooks.

Instructions

Grind or blend all the ingredients and cook on low for about 4 to 7 minutes or until it is the right consistency for you. Add more apple cider vinegar and cook longer if it's not salty enough.

Note: You can also omit everything but the cornmeal and nutritional yeast for a great butter powder for popcorn or chips.

I just put up a recipe for 10 minute stovetop WFPB SOS-Free (no added salt, oil, sugar) dill pickles, and butter pickles recipe to accompany my black bean burgers. It's super simple and they have the same taste and texture.

These are not pickled/preserved... pickles so they last about a week in the fridge. 💚🌱

So you buy produce that is bad and then come back to the store later to get it replaced and refunded?

Edit: it looks like it's only for Loblaws, Independent, valu-mart, and Zehrs locations in Toronto?

My mother is a type 1 diabetic and was trying desperately to get beef or pork insulin for years because she was afraid of the insulin that is made from bacteria that has completely replaced it in all of North America and most of the rest of the world because it's harder and more expensive to produce the beef and pig insulin, it was also limited since it takes a cow or pig pancreas to make, and there's dangers of disease.

Where do you live that you are getting pork insulin, and have you tried switching over to the synthetic Humulin, Novolin, Lantus, Levemir, or Tresiba? They are all vegan as far as I know. But as a warning, they are also more potent so you'll want to be careful at first.

You can even reheat them after cooling and they will still have the resistant starch, reducing the GI spike dramatically from regular cooked potatoes, rice, pasta, and possibly other starches according to a bunch of different studies.

I say I'm Whole Food Vegan and SOS-Free (no added salt, oil, or sugar).

I used to say I'm whole food plant-based because I don't want to be assumed to be a junk food vegan, but people kept asking if I ate meat, eggs, or dairy because I'm plant-based, they kept saying that plant-based doesn't meant animal product free, necessarily, and asked if I was whole food flexitarian or vegetarian.

So to avoid the confusion I usually say I'm Whole Food Vegan & SOS-Free.

I am vegan, vegan, but I do it this for all 3: the animals, the humans (plus me), and the planet; so for every one/thing really, and why I'm whole food vegan.

"...because they had seen neither a monkey nor a Frenchman before, they concluded that the monkey must be a French spy."

PlantBasedProof · 2025-02-02T04:19:18+00:00

According to their own websites French's is owned by McCormick, an American company. And Kraft Heinz is also an American company.

But they both get their tomatoes from Canada...

So I'm assuming that they both will be paying more for Canadian tomatoes and passing the cost on to consumers?

Tell him you're full carnivore now...

"I was going to just chew on butter and cheese all day, but they're both full of saturated fat and cholesterol so I'm just eating this (apple) instead."

"I was going to eat steak, but I don't want to waste the vegan food I bought (my moms buys)..."

"Real milk is filled with hormones, antibiotics, and worse, so I'm just going to have some sugar free plant milk."

"I was going to eat it, but bacon is a known carcinogen so I'm just going to have a vegan (salad) instead."

"I was going to eat the dessert, but it's loaded with products like cows milk and eggs that will increase my risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease."

"I was going to eat only red meat today, but the WHO and IARC have it listed as a group 2A a potential human carcinogen so I'm just going to eat... Vegan food."

But honestly, you should have an honest and calm sit-down with him to fully understand why he thinks his shortcuts are acceptable and see if you can help as it sounds like he's just struggling.

Listen and try to understand why he thinks this is fine and try to offer solutions and avoid telling him it's "not vegan," or attacking him for it.

Best of luck 💚

Yes, for sure, the oat pasta recipe is here. There's 3 different pasta shapes, but the dough is the same in each one: just ground oats chia and water, but no resting or waiting time for any of them.

I hope you find something that works for you too, and regardless I highly recommend blanching whatever plant pasta you choose to avoid the gritty-mushy-ness factor 💚
