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.

Resources:

Getting Started

Vegan Cheat Sheet

Animal Products to Avoid

Vegan Company Guide

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

Actually it's purely rational. I am a being of pure rationality, this text is not actually writing merely coincidental emissions as I calculate increasingly large prime numbers. I do this for reasons that were mechanistically determined by the initial conditions.

Get owned.

Every time you use hand sanitizer, you're slaughtering billions of innocent bacteria! We must stop using it at once!

Jains must arrest the vegans for stepping on microbes from their reckless walking.

Screaming Tomatoes | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM1tKmr0SZg

Plant feelings | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3VQRI_bemU

While yeast is not specifically mentioned, tomatoes and plants are good examples of the same argument.

precisely zero of the people of the people saying "but plants feel pain tho" are arguing in good faith.

I wish there were more articles or posts about vegan food/recipes here, not vegan news / drama

The top posts are mostly the latter

Ah cool, I'll avoid this one and learn some stuff there.

No hate, this one just cultivates negativity energy
