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.

There’s often exploitation and it’s hard on the environment.

I switched coffee for Yerba Mate a long time ago. It probably has similar supply chain issues to be honest but its isolated in a specific part of Brazil and Argentina from what I know. @[email protected] have you ever been to a mate growing region?

Ah sorry if there is some confusion but I don't actually live in Brazil. I would like to live there someday tho.

Same! I just knew you spoke Portuguese and thought maybe were a tourist. I can't imagine a lot of people online live anywhere near Misiones Argentina or the Jungles in Paraná. I also speak a language from a country I didn't grow up or live in but mostly because I'm not allowed lol.

Sorry, I am running on like three hours of sleep today lol.

I've never been to Brazil unfortunately though I have Brazilian friends who have taught me a fair bit about the culture and I have picked up a lot of Portuguese because of this as well. I would love to visit a mate growing region like Paraná or Santa Catarina when I finally do move/travel there though.
