:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.

First of all, the post utilized "sour cream" as an example, so bringing up something like "vegan turkey slices," a food that explicitly is titled with a mention of the animal-based product that it's imitating, is most certainly a false equivalence and a bad-faith gesture to bring up in an effort to support your point.

Furthermore, this post has nothing to do with whether or not imitation meat/dairy products are "solutions" to meat consumption, whatever the fuck that is materially supposed to mean, so this is a red herring.

Veganism is an ethical stance. People don't go vegan out of liking certain imitation products; the consumption comes second once people realize the unethicality of eating the animal-derived variants of said imitation products. Such imitation products do not need to exist for people to go vegan, but they're tasty for people who enjoy them and don't want to derive such a taste from animal exploitation.

May I ask: Are you vegan? If so, why push what I can only interpret as concern trolling?
