Idiots thinking that by going vegan they’ll eat healthier but instead end up eating more cheeseburgers, pizzas and ice cream than ever. It’s me, I’m idiots
A non-vegan will brake to avoid hitting a dog, call the fire brigade to save a cat, demand the sacking of someone who kills rhinos, and boycott an entire country for their treatment of dolphins, but god forbid you ask them to try a different type of milk to save baby cows
If you’re thinking of going vegan but are concerned because you have allergies, my best advice is to continue not eating the things you are allergic to
Cow’s milk. You’re drinking cow’s milk.
Just stop and think about it for a minute. Forget all the vegan stuff, whatever. Just *think* for a minute about what you’re consuming.
Cow’s milk. Milk. From a cow.
Seriously though.
Hi. I'm vegan. I have a fatal nut allergy. Because of this I need to have life-saving adrenaline shots on my person. These shots may contain squirrel tears for all I know. I don't like it, but it's life-or-death for me.
Choosing vegan coleslaw, however, is no big deal.
Anti-vegan: I refuse to eat anything vegan
[removes fries from Big Mac meal]
Wait
[removes bun, middle bread divider, onion, gherkin, lettuce, salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup whatever]
Not like that
Bill: you can’t get enough calories on a vegan diet without eating lots of peanuts
Me: hi Bill as a vegan who is allergic to peanuts I can assure you this isn’t true — happy to discuss this with you
Bill:
I’m gonna get roasted for this but I’m introducing a *tiny* bit of donkey meat into my diet. Before the vegan police come: they’re sanctuary donkeys ONLY, and coming to the end of their natural lifespan anyway. All money goes straight to the sanctuary so they can buy more donkeys
Farmer: it’s time for you to be killed for money
Cow: please don’t kill me. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. I’m scared. I’m confused. I miss my babies, my friends. Please. I don’t want to die.
Farmer: it’s a local slaughterhouse
Cow: shit bro, why didn’t you say? Let’s go!

Diamond encrusted knife handmade in Nepal by apparitions of the Buddha £97,999,999
“Good for you if you’re vegan but don’t make the mistake of thinking vegan pizza and cheeseburgers are healthy coz they aren’t”
This is a mistake I have not nor shall I ever make but thank you
Veganism: the only anti-oppression justice movement that otherwise good people attack, tear down, and dismiss.
Why? Simply because they’re uncomfortable with being aligned with the oppressor, and they aren’t ready to quit cheese.
January: drank own piss
February: drank own piss
March: drank own piss
April: drank own piss
May: drank own piss
June: drank own piss
July: drank own piss
August: decided veganism really isn’t for me after all — feel LOADS better already
If a non-vegan personally came across one — just one — animal suffering in the way millions of animals suffer for their sandwiches, snacks and shoes, they’d be on the phone to the RSPCA while they were still crying
Defensive non-vegans will say they’re against factory farming and believe people should only eat “local” “pasture raised” “grass fed” “free range” “high welfare” animals…
…and call vegans elitist
“The problem with veganism is—“
Buddy you pay people to cut piglets’ testicles off without anaesthetic and you want to talk about other people’s problems
Yes I’m vegan, but with Easter on the horizon and so many stressed or unsure about it, I just need to share my *foolproof* method for perfect lamb:
Leave the lamb alone. Let the lamb live. The lamb will be perfect, guaranteed.
Non-vegan: I use every part of the animal and pay my respect by giving thanks for the sacrifice
Vegan: I use no part of the animal and pay my respect by leaving the animal the fuck alone
David Attenborough, nation’s grandad™️: we have to act now to save the planet
Concerned citizens: this is so awful — what can we do?
Vegans: going vegan is the single mo—
Concerned citizens: WHAT CAN WE DO??
Vegans: just go ve—
Concerned citizens: IF ONLY WE COULD DO SOMETHING 😭
Tesco: here is our 8 billionth advert promoting animal products
Great Britain:
Tesco: here is our first ever advert promoting one alternative option to animal products
Great Britain: THIS IS PROPAGANDA STOP TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD EAT
If god didn’t want us to eat animals why did he shape them into small flat seasoned discs that have been treated with carbon monoxide and other chemical processes then kept refrigerated at 3°C before being cooked to a safe internal temperature of 71°C lmao
@park_chops_
vegan diets always have nuts in them for the protein or whatever and im allergic to nuts i physically could not go vegan or id literally die lma9
I get all my oats from a local oat farm where I know the farmer and they treat the oats even better than their own family and you can even pick out your own oats and name them before they are humanely “harvested”
A vegan simply chooses not to harm and kill animals every time that choice is available.
If you are not vegan, you *choose* to harm and kill animals at least some of the time.
Forget your petty indignation at vegans. Just reflect on it. Think about who you really are.
Hey vegans and vegans only — you know in the future, when all these energy-sapping shills have finally quietened down and settled into the vegan world, shall we go for a drink? We’ll have earned it. This shit is hard work.
You want me to stop bringing up veganism? Simple. Stop talking about animals as commodities, as ingredients, as flavours & textures, and you won’t hear shit about it. You don’t even realise how much you do it.
Non-vegans judge bullfighters, fox hunters, whalers, furriers, trophy hunters, dog kickers, cat burners, dolphin slaughterers, seal clubbers, swan killers.
Then get super angry with vegans…for being judgmental.
One friend messaged me about their stress cooking ham, cream, eggs. I told them not to message me that again. They’re upset.
Another friend sent me photo of their (chicken egg) omelette coz they used vegan chorizo. I said not to send me photos like that again. They’re upset.
"If vegans hate meat so much why do they make food that imitates it???"
Because you're fucking thick. That's why. That's the single reason. You're a proper fucking dangler and that's why vegans eat the things they do. Next.
Now is not the time to talk about how veganism could avert pandemics. A more appropriate and sensitive time to talk about how veganism could avert pandemics is in the future, after humans have gone extinct, on a pre-recorded message broadcast for the amusement of rabbits and mice
Ask why someone is vegan, and the answer is succinct: why harm an animal if I don't need to?
Ask why someone is not vegan, and you get an endless, incomprehensibly flustered toilet flush of muddled brain drivel.
The difference is stark, and worth noting.
“Have vegans considered just keeping quiet and not involving themselves in other people’s business”
I for one have indeed considered this but decided against it
RSPCA: it’s never ok to hit an animal
Pig farmer: what shall I do with this piglet who isn’t growing fast enough to be profitable
RSPCA: our official advice is to slam him as hard as you can into concrete and kill him
Farmer: no shit
RSPCA: yolo
Carnism: swerving to avoid hitting a bird in the road while driving to the supermarket to buy a purposely killed dead bird
Fragile carnism: becoming angry and upset when the above is pointed out to you
How dare you suggest I make better choices when there are people in desperate circumstances somewhere in the world at any given time who don’t have the option of making better choices
@JustOneVegan
I do not like this angle at all. It’s both inappropriate and inaccurate. Throwing around the term “mental illness” is unhelpful and actually kind of ugly. We don’t need to do this.
It’s funny when livid dairy farmers say people should talk to them, ask them questions, and be educated about their industry. Like, please — let’s do exactly that! It’ll save vegans a job!
Just taking a moment to LOL @ the collapsing dairy industry. Yes, that absolutely includes your brother-in-law's family dairy farm where they treat the cows really well
A sincere and respectful request: if you happen to follow me and you voted Tory, please unfollow me. No fuss or drama needed, and with apologies if we otherwise get along. It’s a small act of self care. 💚
Calling vegan food shit because you once ruined some tofu is like calling houses shit because you struggled to put up your tent at Glastonbury that time
If you care about animals, at some point you face a decision:
go vegan
or
spend your life pointing at your canine teeth, talking Scooby Doo-level bollocks about ancestors & protein, and making shit jokes about animal abuse that you yourself disagree with on principle
Anti-vegans will disingenuously use other people’s disabilities, other people’s heritage, other people’s race, other people’s culture, other people’s socioeconomic status, other people’s geography, other people’s circumstances but never the truth: their own entitlement to KFC
Non-vegan: I love animals and believe they should not be harmed, and those who do deserve the same done back to them
Vegan: If I have an opportunity to avoid harming animals I take it, including when I eat
Non-vegan: here is my thread on why you are a judgmental twat (1/37)
5 years vegan. I’m the last person I thought would, or could, ever be vegan. I still feel the ever-present relief from not supporting animal cruelty. Vegan forever 💚🌱💪♾
There are real people in real life who will refuse to watch a fictional movie coz they get too upset by fictional depictions of animal cruelty while they eat a real piece of a real pig who really died screaming, kicking, terrified
Thread: with the anti-vegan roulette wheel once again landing on veganism being “forced” upon people, predictably a lot of vegans have come out and said this isn’t possible. Well, I’m here to say it very much is possible. How do I know? I’m guilty of it. Confession time...
The disconnect of this is so disturbing. This isn’t an undercover exposé, which dairy farmers complain unfairly misrepresent them. This is how dairy farmers *choose to represent themselves*. It’s unsettling because they truly don’t see the depravity in which they are mired.
Remind me again which part of veganism you fundamentally oppose — the part that treats animals with respect and compassion, or the part that requires you to put slightly different items in your shopping basket?
Myth: vegans constantly tell everyone they’re vegan
Reality: vegans nod politely while non-vegans drone on about how their colleague’s cousin’s wife’s doctor warned them about iron and that’s why they need to eat dairy custard doughnuts but always make sure they’re free range
On learning I was vegan, a person told me they “used to be vegetarian for ten years” so they understand my experience
Which is like me telling an astronaut I understand their experience because as a child I “used to like jumping”
I am not vegan so I can drive a car faster, score more goals, lift more weights, run faster, perform better sexually, be more attractive, play better tennis, or live longer. I’m vegan because animal abuse is wrong.
Stop what, exactly? Promoting alternatives to needless animal abuse? Being inventive and having fun? Using twitter? Cooking? Eating? Living? What’s the specific problem here?
