The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

How is India not on that list?

Oh, it gets its data from Google Trends.

Most Indians are Vegetarian not Vegan.

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Google trends for people searching for vegan related things doesn't mean those people are vegan.

Also reads like it was ai generated.

How is it irrelevant? I do not recognise "Israel"'s right to exist. I do not even recognise them as a nation. That is the general stance of this entire instance as well. They are Occupied Palestinian territory, that's all. It is not about "giving Israel's veganism rate to Palestine" it is about recognising the territory as being Palestinian.

undeniably a nation

A nation is defined by four characteristics:

Population - A settled population
Territory - A defined territory
Government - A government
Ability to relate to other states - The ability to conduct relations with other states on a sovereign basis

Israel does not have a defined territory. Their borders have never been officially established. Using guidelines used by the UN they are not a nation. Even four is debatable given how many countries they've attacked in the last 12 months alone.

lmfao wtf if you don't recognize them as a legitimate country then what is your argument with @josie@vegantheoryclub.org like even if you think Israeli is a national identity, if you agree there is no such country as Israel and the image is listing COUNTRIES with the highest veganism rate, then what is the problem

You're saying the list is correct. Like...?

Yeah, I do not recognize genocidal regimes.

I'm talking about the people in the general area.
