An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've seen only a few you listed like cowspiracy and seaspiracy and a majority of those two films were just facts and diagrams and interviews. So I call bullshit. I know this is a bad faith attempt I mean seriously, "impulsive highly emotional person"? Maybe people who care for the environment see the facts and diagrams and convert because it isn't possible to feed this many people sustainably. It's not a health disaster to be vegan either, that's ridiculous of you to say. This won't shock you because you came here to troll but vegans can go through pregnancy just fine, breast feed just fine too, something that shouldn't be possible if it was such a health disaster. A lot of our food is already fortified with vitamins so you don't need meat for b12 or iron, just eat a bowl of cereal with soy milk. I'm in the process of going vegan so not 100% but I'm so tired of seeing trolls come to vegan communities to talk about how much they don't care about animals or the planet. And how manly and fulfilled it makes them feel to eat bacon. We get it, you're boring and have nothing new to say.
I have no doubt you wanting to become vegan comes from a genuine place and you’re trying to do the right thing.
I respect your choice and I hope it works for you.
If at some point in the future though you decide you no longer wish to be vegan I’d respect that choice as well and I don’t think it would make you a bad person.
