Things I’m bored of:
  • Vegans comparing animal agriculture to the holocaust, slavery and rape.
  • Vegans telling people they’re being discriminated against because someone said something mean about them because they’re vegan.
  • Vegans thinking they’re marginalised and comparing a restaurant not doing something for them is akin to the discrimination POC/trans/disabled people receive on a day by day basis.
  • Like I get it, animals dying for selfish nonsensical reasons is shit, animals being cruelly kept in horrible conditions and going through things that as a modern society is for nothing but taste buds, is shit. But please don’t divert other people’s struggles to make your cause more emotive.

Doing this makes vegans look pathetic! You can advocate for animal rights without being racist, anti-Semitic, ableist, classist and more. Also, fellow vegans, just because you care about animals, doesn’t mean you can’t be a shitty person!

Amen.

Please don't forget I'm vegan, but strive for a better world not just for animals, but for people too.

Update

Sorry I've been pretty vacant on here - lately I've been addressing issues to do with my health.

Everything is being blamed on my weight - whilst being 5"6 and 114kg I know I'm not healthy, by scales and BMI; I'm morbidly obese.

I know this. It's obvious.

But; it gets really boring when doctors think that losing weight will fix everything.

My kidneys haven't been functionioning properly and leaking proteins, I've had flu and breathing issues for 5 weeks - must be the weight.

Sure, I know being this weight WONT help, but it's not the cause.

My blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rate, resting hard rate, thyroid, vitamin D, B12, iron - all at the best they've ever been, and everything all in the green.

But hey, must be the weight.

Doctors won't focus on anything now until I get my BMI down from 42, down to 36 - and lose around 14kg, which is fine - but I'm struggling to find the appropriate foods to eat to boost my metabolism, to boost my weight loss. I've always been a junk food vegan.

Any tips?
