Adam Kochanowicz: Three Questions Vegans get All... →
Very common Qs vegans get. And the As!
abolitionist:
Having been vegan for about four years now, I like to think I have heard just about every question someone could ask a vegan. I have no problem fielding these repeated questions. I actually like talking about my veganism and I’m sure most other vegans feel the same. One of the most common…

This was poor form, all negativity, poor support. Meh. Same old formula-era drivel.

Gee, I love when vegans (or other vegetarians… or anyone else) name-call/rage at vegan “militants” on their high-horse, by banging on about “MY CHOICE” at full volume, all the while taking choice away from others from high atop an even higher horse.
Well done. But collect your back-pats for making privileged choices at the expense of other people and other animals...

Please, please, please give up with Panorama already? I can’t cope with this much scaremongering and garbage. It’s like the Daily Express show.
Julian Assange isn’t going to rape your kids, he isn’t going to steal your money - he’s going to do something much much scarier. He’s going to tell you the truth.

Adam Kochanowicz: Missing the Point in Advocacy →
abolitionist:
Lately, I’ve been hearing quite a bit about George Monibot, an individual who once promoted veganism as the best way to go green and has recently denounced his views acknowledging some animal products are more green than vegan farming.
On the same day, I noticed a new feature on Huffington…

Vegan drop-outs?
People who stuff up being vegan shouldn’t give out vegan/anti-vegan nutrition advice. It’s easy, short & long-term. What makes it hard is the misinformation and bad habits a few people cling to.
It’s not veganism’s fault you eat a poorly-balanced diet. Stop pointing fingers everywhere but at the mirror. Sort your shit out rather than (re-)engaging in exploitation.
