Vegan

You don't need to go vegan overnight. Just start leaning into it and you'll get closer every day. Need a place to start? How about with the first meal of the day? Take a look at my vegan breakfast page. It'll give you all sorts of easy, healthy, and delicious ideas! vegan.com/food/breakfast/

@thebbvegan Absolutely! You can't move the needle for animals unless you take activism seriously. Some approaches to activism are far more effective than others. I think my vegan activism guide is the most comprehensive resource of its kind. vegan.com/info/activism/

I encourage everyone who’s vegan to become an activist, because THAT’S how we’re going to change the world and bring justice to these animals. Put it out there. Speak up. Educate. Defend. Advocate.

A resounding endorsement.

One of the great benefits of going vegan is it puts you in a position to make more informed food choices. You can end up eating better, cheaper, healthier food. But it takes years to pick up this knowledge on your own. Or, you can just spend 30 minutes reading this. vegan.com/info/eating/

@gladstein I have 270,000 followers and many of my tweets only get one or two likes. X says that I’m not being shadow banned, but I’d love to hear some plausible reason why I consistently get nearly zero engagement.

You thought you had it bad, and then you saw 33 retweets on 53 million followers 😂

@_jonasschnelli_ For a long time, my otherwise healthy vegan diet contained way less protein than is ideal. While it's easy to get plenty of protein as a vegan, it's also easy to come up short. vegan.com/health/protein/

A vegan. But but… protein?! lol.

One key sign that you're getting things right as a vegan is that you know of various "influencers" who you refuse to pay attention to because they promote unreliable information. Just as the carnivore community is full of quacks, the vegan movement has more than its fair share.

@aakashgupta p.s. I spent several months of my life writing this, precisely because it's such an important topic, and deserving of wider attention. vegan.com/info/why/

@aakashgupta I dunno, man. If over-the-top cruelties are being inflicted onto more than 50 billion factory farmed animals a year, I think people ought to know about the situation and how they can avoid personally funding it. I could give 💩💩 about telling people that I'm personally vegan.

Major cheat code in life: Stop explaining your lifestyle choices to people who wouldn't support them anyway. You don't drink? Cool. You're vegan? Great. You're child-free? Perfect. Stop justifying choices that don't affect anyone else.

A crucial step forward to eliminate animal testing. nih.gov/news-events/ne…

@veganfitnessric The stuff is admittedly a little imposing to newbies, who don't yet know that it's comparably nutritious to beans yet quicker & easier to prepare. I wrote this introduction that will be a big help to anyone suffering from tofuphobia. vegan.com/food/tofu/

Tofu is actually delicious You just don't know how to cook

Never take anything at face value, particularly nutritional claims you read on social media.

@NutritionMadeS3 It’s almost as if fruit is a healthy food that people should be eating. Imagine that!

Fruit consumption significantly decreased fasting blood glucose Effect on HbA1c was not significant Here´s the part that surprised me: both fresh and dried fruit decreased fasting blood glucose

Is fruit good or bad for glucose control? A recent meta-analysis put together 19 RCTs looking at this question in diabetic or prediabetic patients The findings surprised me pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…

This is an odious straw-man argument, unless you want to contend that only vegans wear polyester leggings or use phones made in China. Vegan diets don't resolve every single evil within the food system, but they can eliminate factory farms and slaughterhouses—and that's a big deal. Whether you are thinking about going vegan or not, you can get a lot from reading up on the main issues pertaining to plant-based vs. meat-heavy diets. Here's my introduction to the topic, suitable for reading in one sitting. vegan.com/info/why/

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@lil_Ms_Andrist And look at thissss. youtube.com/watch?v=HmzZoX…

I could never be a vegan. Look at thisssss

@veganfitnessric You can reasonably say that no vegan who's not experiencing famine or an eating disorder will ever suffer severe protein deficiency, but it's nevertheless easy to consume suboptimal amounts on an otherwise healthy vegan diet. Hope you'll read this! vegan.com/health/protein/

I’ve got 99 problems and getting protein from being vegan ain’t one

@SirJizo @Polymarket And most importantly: 5) people deleting their Reddit accounts and going elsewhere.

This will fail for atleast four reasons. 1) deepfake technology can already fool facial recognition systems. 2) people will just use someone elses face or a photo. 3) VPNs and spoofing tools make device level verification unreliable. 4) the people building the most sophisticated bots are the same people who can reverse engineer whatever system Reddit deploys in about a weekend. Announcing this publicly just gave them a head start.

JUST IN: Reddit CEO says the company is considering requiring Face ID to ensure humanity in order to crack down on AI bots.

@danielfazio You’re amazing.

For everybody throwing a fit about these the other day: They’re amazing
