Just because I disagree with militant veganism and animal rights doesn’t mean I like how some act on this site towards vegans. Whether you want to admit it or not, tumblr can be pretty dog-pilely. People can claim it’s not about blaming vegans and it’s just pointing out they’re not cruelty free, but when I was vegan and saw all the posts ranting about vegans and their “slave labor quinoa/agave/almonds”, all it did was make me double down as I and many others never touched it. To a lot of people, it does come off as blaming and being way harsher on vegans especially when they word it in a way that positions those products as solely vegan things. People who claim veganism is cult like and also shared that post about how to treat people in real cults like JW or Mormonism often ignore that advice with vegans. You’re not changing minds when you feed persecution complexes by acting hostile and dog piling people. I stopped being a vegan because of people who actually took time to educate about animal welfare and misconceptions aras spread. You may not want to hear this, but a little kindness and patience can go a long way. This does not mean people who have been hurt by militant vegans have to act nice, just remember that acting very hostile towards anyone who disagrees isn’t going to change their mind.

I thought I'd give a little update on my journey of trying to eat meat again after about 11 years of vegetarianism.
This is what has changed so far:
• literally nothing
• just more tootin'
• like really just more gas
• that's it
Thank you for reading ☺️

I was a vegan for over a decade and it fucked up my whole body even though I was so careful. now it’s been a full year of me not being vegan and I feel SO much stronger/better, I just started eating red meat last march and I literally felt my body level up the first time I ate a steak. so here’s some things (mostly cooked by me, a couple from restaurants) i’ve eaten in the last year

Self update, i am no longer vegan, it has been amazing, many transformations in my body and my mind! If you need a sign to stop eating toxic plants, this is it! I am greatefull for veganism because it was my way to pratice etics, study about food and industry and most important work on my discipline. Now i can eat liver and be strong with no guilt because i value and respect the animal that provided me what my body needs. Thanks for reading.

Eating meat doesn’t make you a bad person. If I eat meat I am not a bad person. I can believe that killing animals is wrong and I can also eat meat because living 100% in moral alignment is exhausting and no way to live. We’re human beings and sometimes the sandwich comes with bacon built in. Sometimes we ask for no bacon, other times our bodies say otherwise. It’s ok. You’re allowed to be imperfect. You’re allowed to choose different morals to live by. You’re allowed to defy your own morals. Nothing bad will happen.

Tw: food, ED, OCD
Coming to tumblr for maybe some advice??? Idk lol
This last year, I have been contemplating leaving my vegan lifestyle (food-wise). At least a little bit.
I’ve been vegan for 6 years with 1 year before that being vegetarian. It has been great. I have learned so many new recipes and learned how to cook new things and discovered new foods that I like. I’ve introduced others to veganism and have even had family members love my vegan meals. It’s all great. Except for the fact that I think I’ve developed Food OCD.
I recently found out I have a gluten allergy (as well as some nuts) and it has made it REALLY hard to find foods to eat. And even before finding out about those allergies, I was already dealing with the main issue at hand: constantly worrying about food. My entire life revolves around “what am I gonna eat for my next meal?” “I can’t go on that trip because what will I be able to eat?” Etc etc. And this last year I have had some interesting bouts of my blood sugar being super low even after eating a meal (yet my blood work and health are in great shape according to my dr). This is all bringing me back to high school when I had an eating disorder.
I guess my main question/the advice I’m looking for is how do I deal with the guilt of leaving my vegan lifestyle? I know that I should because I’ve slipped into disordered eating without realizing it until recently, but I have so much guilt around reintroducing animal products. I’m really only thinking of like ham, turkey and chicken (red meats/eggs/dairy has never been good to my body). But I have advocated for veganism and fought so hard to even be vegan in my family for so long and I have so much guilt!!!
If you were vegan for a long time, and went back to eating meat, and have struggled with disordered eating, pls share your experience with me if you feel comfortable. Let me know how you fought that guilt. I just want to be better 😭

A vegan I had added unfriended me because I have decided it's okay to eat animals, actually.
This might not even be a permanent decision. If a nutritionist tells me to commit to veganism, then I will do it but they're probably going to recommend animal products too.
Anyways, I'm not so desperate for people to like me that I'm going to let them tell me what to eat. Like I mentioned, I have low iron. I might even need iron infusions like my maternal grandmother did.
It's probably good I'm getting back into meat. For this reason and others.
Apparently meat has low "prana" but I like how it keeps me full longer. I also like how I feel overall after eating more of it.
I just feel like it's pointless and unsustainable to be a vegan. Why should I bother?
I know vegan body builders exist too but it seems easier to lose weight and get stronger by eating more animal based stuff.
Regardless, no one should be guilting me for my food choices. It's just bonkers.

What made you stop being vegan?
I was never vegan. I was technically a pescetarian who ate mostly vegan/vegetarian.
(that means I sometimes ate fish because of lack of options in restaurants.)
I did this for 11 years but I was looking into healthy eating and living the last several months.
Looking at homesteading, holistic health and really going back to traditional skills.
I realized how backwards it was of me to eat a vegan "burger" , thinking I was doing the right thing for myself and the planet.
When the whole process of making that "burger" ends up being a lot more polluting and harmful to myself, others and the environment than a normal grass-fed organic beef burger from a local farmer.
The amount of benefits that local organic meats has for your health!
And the different uses for all parts of the animal, nothing will go to waste!
It just seemed like the better, more healthier option for me personally.
Still I don't eat meat daily.
I still cook vegetarian meals as well.
I'm slowly learning new recipes (they're new to me 🤭) and learning the best ways to get the most out of it ☺️
Also I'm willing to learn so much more, maybe I'm wrong in my decision!
I'm very much open to learning from others and their different perspectives ☺️

If you are in the UK and can take care of chickens, please consider offering a chance at an actual life to ex-battery hens who will otherwise be killed at their first moult at about six months old because it slightly reduces their egg production.
Industrial farming is a fucking dystopian nightmare. Please do your best to help the survivors.

people do not eat animals because they believe animals are inferior, people believe animal are inferior because they eat them.
