Warum müssen #Vegan|er*innen immer erklären, "warum genau" wir vegan sind?

Ich habe nie eine*n Karnist*in (fleischessende und/oder diesen Lebensstil verteidigende Person) gefragt, warum si*er Fleisch isst.
Gute Argumente hätte ich ohnehin wohl kaum zu hören bekommen.

Also: hört auf, uns solche Fragen zu stellen. Stattdessen:
(a) fragt euch selbst, warum ihr nicht vegan seid und/oder
(b) lasst uns über spannendere Dinge diskutieren, am besten, indem wir einander Fragen stellen, die tatsächlich auf Wissenszuwachs aus sind!
(Und nicht Fragen mit dem einzigen Zweck, implizit meinen veganen Lebensstil zu kritisieren und zu othern.)

#GoVeg​ - werder #vegan!

Warum werden #Veganer*innen häufig gefragt "Woher bekommst du denn Proteine?" oder "Aber bestimmt musst du Vitamintabletten nehmen, oder?", während #Karnist*innen nie gefragt werden, woher sie Ballaststoffe und Folsäure bekommen oder wie sie mit ihrem vielfach hoheren Risiko für Darmkrebs oder Bluthochdruck, Herzinfarkt und andere Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen umgehen.

Da wird mal wieder mit zweierlei Maß gemessen.

#GoVeg - werdet vegan!

Also, why do #vegans always have to explain "why exactly" we're vegan?

I never asked any #carnist why they're eating whatever disgusting thing they're eating. Never. They probably wouldn't have good arguments, anyway.

So, stop asking us these questions. Instead,
(a) ask yourselves why you're not vegan and/or
(b) let's engage in interesting discussions by asking each other questions that do aim at gaining knowledge!
(Rather than questions with the only purpose of implicitly judging and othering my vegan lifestyle.)

#GoVeg

Why do we #vegans frequently get questions like "where do you get your protein from" or "but then you must surely take supplements?", while #carnist|s never get asked things like "where do you get your folate and fibre from" or "how do you deal with your increased risk for colorectal cancer or hypertension, heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases?"

That's #doublestandards for you.

#GoVeg

inquinamento, crudelta', sfruttamento, malattie

#goveg

So much #vegan food is trying to emulate a carnist palate. So we get vegan chicken nuggets, vegan burgers etc. all heavily processed. I can see the point, and as a new vegan it made the transition easier, but it is a bit of a sellout. As in "I don't eat animals but hey, I eat this pretend animal meat, so I am not totally weird".
Sometimes I am lazy, but I am trying to avoid the processed vegan foods and enjoy the flavours and textures of a fresh plant-based diet.
