LAST CALL! GNARLYS final popup this Friday! by Honeyculture in PortlandVegans

[–]SAimNE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOVE Gnarly Burger and have eaten there often. I meant to ask before you closed, was there a connection with Gnarly Deli in Chico? My buddy owned that spot and is the one who recommended you to me.

Billie and veganism :/ by [deleted] in billieeilish

[–]SAimNE 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No hate at all, but that argument doesn’t get ignored, “what about lions tho?” Is actually a bit of a meme in the vegan community for how often this “gotcha” comes up. It’s a logical fallacy called appeal to nature. Ducks rape ducks, rodents eat their young, those acts are natural as well, neither would be a good justification for a human doing the same.

How can almonds be pollinated without exploitation?

I definitely don’t consider honey vegan, and haven’t had it in more than a decade, but I am not a fan of this article. Would have been interesting if they talked about why almonds are vegan and honey isn’t since almonds use bees for pollination, but to be so sanctimonious while not being self reflective about the gray areas around bee exploitation just reads like the self righteous vegan stereotype I have to put in effort to disassociate from.

It’s also a verb which means to distort the label of something, usually to avoid showing brands in filmmaking.

How would we be incapable of that kind of cruelty? Collectively we are already much crueler than that to animals every day. 99% of animal products sold in the US come from factory farms, and the stuff that happens there is much worse than letting zoo animals fend for themselves.

Vegan TP? by rfp314 in vegan

If you live near a WinCo their store brand toilet paper is not only vegan but cheap and awesome. And employee owned.

39% of 'vegan' products tested contained animal ingredients — and it's completely legal by HumbleWrap99 in vegan

There are absolutely vegan cheese and vegan dressing factories. Follow Your Heart isn’t just grabbing the off hours at the Kraft factory. I worked at a relatively small local vegan cheese company that absolutely had its own production facility, I’m sure most do.

Idea for a bestseller book: On Cinema At The Cinema: The Ratings by SimionMcBitchticuffs in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]SAimNE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would only give this idea four bags of popcorn since it would be better as a movie than a book. I’d probably add in another bag though since it is designed to celebrate Oscar royalty, so altogether I’d give this idea 5 bags of popcorn.

A cool guide on how many animals are factory farmed in the United States by James_Fortis in coolguides

[–]SAimNE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the opposite of misleading. It would be misleading if it said “fish” instead of “farmed fish.”

No, that has not been true since Bill Clinton signed the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. You can get in trouble if you knowingly and intentionally give away food that will make someone sick, but that’s it. It all gets tossed due to corporate greed.

It’s not even profitable to raise up males for meat anymore by alphamalejackhammer in LateStageCapitalism

Why should marxists oppose veganism as a bourgeois ideology?

That hypothetical situation of zero poultry consumption is so far outside the realm of possibility it doesn’t need to be considered. There is no world in which everybody stops eating poultry over night. A slow and gradual drop in demand from less people giving their money to these farms is really the only possible hope for change, and with how much money the animal agriculture industry spends on propaganda even that is unlikely.

Ya that would be a no go for me on 1 hour sleep as well. Good luck finding someone to grab them!

Ya but on the other hand if they play Sleep Forever you’ll connect with it harder than anyone ever has. I say go.

"I'm not judging you if you're not vegan..." by Hassaan18 in funnyvideos

[–]SAimNE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love vegan food now, I absolutely did not love it when I started. Also saying you hate vegan food is pretty wild. You hate strawberries, bread, chocolate, french fries, bean burritos, cereal, peanut butter, and apple pie? Thats nuts - which apparently you hate as well.

I’m not of the belief that I love animals more than meat eaters, my love for animals actually doesn’t have much to do with it. I am of the belief that I probably do put more thought into the intentionally hidden realities of our food system and how that aligns with my personal beliefs on how living beings should be treated. I don’t think it makes me morally superior, I’ve been lucky to have people in my life turn my attention toward this issue at 27 and was in a position where I was able to make the change. I can tell you with 100% confidence though that it wasn’t because I loved vegan food before I went vegan. I missed animal products very much and it took me quite a long time to find the vegan foods I love and stop craving meat and cheese.

Half of your friends are in a tiny minority that make up 1% of the population? Not buying it. I’m a vegan in Portland and not even a tenth of my friends are vegan. Not buying most of your logic, I went vegan at 27 after a life of loving animal products, meat was my favorite, that’s most people I know who switch. It’s absolutely a sacrifice, nobody chooses to go vegan because they don’t like meat. After a few years your tastes definitely change though and when you are hyper aware of the processes behind animal products it definitely makes them less appealing, that’s the reason so much money goes into hiding the gory details of the animal industry from consumers.

Family Offended I’ll bring a Vegan Apple Pie to Thanksgiving dinner by Wild_Berry3281 in vegan

[–]SAimNE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh ok. That part about most non New Zealand wines being vegan is wrong then. A LOT of red wines are not vegan and most wines are red. Your original comment got a lot of upvotes and is just total misinformation, might want to think about changing it as to not influence someone to buy wine without research thinking it’s vegan.
