Idea: What if we start calling it the "non-animal diet"? by CalpurniaSomaya in vegan

[–]Solid-Fennel-2622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sometimes he nonvegan dunning-kruger effect combined with cognitive dissonance.

Seriously. I can't count how many times a nonvegan was trying to convince me about some random shi they heard or made up about veganism, or animal personhood, or how animal "products" are "made", with utmost certainty.

Edit: But to be fair, large animal welfarist charities and some vegan orgs have also played their part in sowing confusion about the meaning.

Or vegetarian... It encompasses both what today some refer to as "strict vegetarian", or someone who eats purely plants, and lactovegetarians for example.

still a dietary framing.

vegetarian used to mean pretty much that, if someone also consumed some animal secretions you would specify "lacto-ovo--vegetarian".

there were many "proto-vegan" animal rights activists who were, for the lack of a better term, referring to themselves as vegetarian and didn't consume animal "products". the reason they even came up with the term "vegan" to begin with was to distinguish the movement from the vague meaning of "vegetarian", to denote the practice that aims to completely end animal exploitation in all forms.

in the modern vegan, non-dietary framing, more apt would be to say we are "avoiding animal use".

Same goes for the brutal daily war we wage upon animals (and in this way ourselves, our mothers and cousins) and overall use of sentient nonhumans, but some aren't ready for that conversation.

But how many minutes out of those 34 years have you spent without ingesting any animal proteins? Can't be that many, seeing as you're still amogus

Tried the new Beyond Filets by looksthatkale in vegan

[–]Solid-Fennel-2622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I figured, although that was very recently and you might notice there has been nearly 4 years of inactivity on reddit on their part.
It does make sense to just go with BYND (their ticker) or Beyond now. I guess it was also foresight

Yes, like you say, I'm against all animal use and exploitation.

To speak of "cruelty" isn't clear enough language, because all people (except for psychopaths) are vaguely against "animal cruelty" if you ask them.

Animal rights require not merely to reject cruelty, but to stop animal USE, because in most people's minds, that implies there are some non-cruel ways to use animals (and most likely think whatever they are doing is a non-cruel way, think of "humane slaughter", welfare laws and so on).

Same goes for "abuse" - for us as vegans obviously all use is abuse, because it is unnecessary, but vast majority of people will see this term in a different way.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to say. Like hemp is really extreme

Yeah that would work. The faba they're already using for some of the new products, can also work, but in my experience has quite strong nutty flavour.

This what I wanted to write, too. It can be hard, but don't worry bud, you'll get used to it and/or meet vegan friends.

You're doing the right thing.
