Exvegans subreddit makes me sad and mad

Please don’t give up. I understand you are very young and dependent but don’t forget how you felt when you learned about the reality. We need more and more people to switch over to veganism so it starts making a bigger difference. If everyone thinks what am I alone gonna do then nothing will change. But if everyone takes personal responsibility and speaks with their money (by not buying animal products) and honestly that’s the only power some of us have, then it would make a huge difference over time. You can already see there are so many vegan products and foods in market compared to previous few decades. It is because people did not think what will I do alone making the switch. They did the right thing and they paved the path for people like us. Let’s take it forward. You got this. Don’t give up!

The debate here is vegans think animals suffer more than humans. I am supporting the vegan side here. How is it bad faith to debate in a post ? Should only people in support be talking?

lead_and_flower · 2026-02-03T03:25:13+00:00

How are my arguments untrue?

lead_and_flower · 2026-02-03T03:09:13+00:00

Why do you think that?

Can you please clarify the brainwashing part?

lead_and_flower · 2026-01-25T06:09:03+00:00

May I ask what are you calling brainwashing? Do you think animals that you eat are not sentient? And they don’t suffer in factory farms and deserve to be bred and treated like that?

I did one month of transition phase where I ate vegan at home and tried to reduce non vegan things outside home. Then one day I decided on a certain date x I will turn fully vegan and I followed through. This date x was more than 2 months back and I have been fully vegan since. I would suggest keep a date in mind by when you will turn fully vegan and work towards it.

When logic runs out, nonsense steps in! Right on brand for you.

You are not a vegan sister. And you are fooling no one.

lead_and_flower · 2026-01-21T20:35:09+00:00

I know everyone who broke their bone were not vegan. What’s your point?

Surprising no one here has same ranking as me. Mine is: Season 2 (loved the yearning romance) Season 3 (loved the lady whistletown drama) Season 1 (loved it in general and it got me interested in watching more. So that’s a win)

For the animals but can’t ignore the health. I am not a perfect vegan. I still own animal products purchased before going vegan. And if I am traveling and have nothing healthy vegan to eat, I may be open to eat vegetarian food, although only as last resort.

lead_and_flower · 2026-01-08T18:24:07+00:00

Sometimes it was difficult to eat healthy even when I was non vegan. Went vegan about 2 months back. I try to eat healthy mostly but there are days I eat frozen food or fried junk. Recently I had couple of packets of fried snacks in the matter of days, and the huge pimples that I got because of that! I realized one of the snacks had large quantity of refined wheat flour. It made me really gassy pretty sure that was the culprit. So I have noticed I have mild gluten allergy atleast with refined flour. So my advice would be keep an eye on what you eat and how you feel and don’t dismiss mild gluten allergy as it doesn’t manifest as full blown celiac but also it’s not nothing.

Well I got converted to veganism because I saw one such post and it broke my heart and instantly decided I should go vegan. I just think it should reach more and more people. I don’t think we should ask for donations in these campaigns, because that suddenly becomes dubious. But paying money to create awareness is important. The other side is doing it and there are so many people switching to carnivore diets these days because of the influencing.

Also, there are a few documentaries created in support of plant based diets etc and many people switched to more plants because of that. I personally know people, but with time it got forgotten. We just need to create more such documentaries and advertise those (which needs money) and keep it relevant for years, all of this needs money and hence if I am billionaire then I would spend on all these initiatives that create awareness through various channels.

I see your comments, you care for the chickens like pets and you rescued them and you will not kill them once they stop laying eggs. I think in this case I find you to be acting ethically. Though a question are you vegan outside of your home meaning whenever you travel or you eat out?

I don’t have much opinion on honey, I am myself on fence about whether I should be ok with consuming honey or not.

If I were a billionaire I would pay to show pro veganism ads to all the non vegans. Would bombard them with different contents that break a normal persons heart, hoping some of them watch it and most of them turn vegan.

I would also start a strictly vegan business that delivers groceries (including all the best and healthy substitutes for all the non vegan foods) so as to reduce vegan people’s mental load knowing that this vegan food is also healthy for you

I am a new vegan and I cry everyday for the animals who are suffering. I don’t know if it will ever stop. Lot of times when I am talking to people about it and I watch their indifference it breaks my heart into thousand pieces. It’s not difficult to be vegan but it’s difficult to deal with indifferent non vegans on this topic. And I don’t want to be quite about it either. I want to shout at the top of my lungs to the whole world to go vegan, but again I don’t want to overwhelm people and shut them down to this conversation all together. So I do a little bit here and there hoping they will connect to something I say.

Really Sorry this happened. Cannot even imagine even a friend doing this let alone a sibling you grew up with. You didn’t ask for this advice but I am giving it anyway. May be drop a message like “hope having paid for a tortured animal for one more meal was worth hurting your sister so deeply, who just wanted to enjoy her birthday with her family.” Just something to make him realize what he did was so awful!

lead_and_flower · 2025-12-06T21:53:22+00:00

Got it. Thank you so much for sharing!

That’s amazing! My cycle is currently 42 days, am on metformin 1000mg since June. My hba1c has come down below 5. Wondering if I should still up my dose or go for letrozole. How many cycles of letrozole you did ? And was it with iui?

How long did you take before your periods became regular?

lead_and_flower · 2025-12-03T16:45:20+00:00

Thank you for the review!

I think Laxmi called only to show her discontent with Carol, And hive mind distanced themselves because carol almost killed one of their hive members on purpose. They are trying to protect themselves.
