haven’t been on here in forever, just came to say I’ll probably delete this app and not come back. I had a lot of hope when I started this blog and over a decade later my life is worse than I could have imagined. I’m not in danger, for anyone who’s actually reading this, but I’m really starting to believe I’ll never be happy again. I wish I didn’t let it all get away from me. thank you to anyone and everyone who followed me and treated me like a friend. stay in school and hold onto the people you love or you’ll lose them forever 💗

food sovereignty >>>>> absolute veganism for everyone
im not kidding when i say it makes your life 1000x easier when it comes to this subject if you just abandon the vegan vs antivegan dichotomy entirely and invest in learning about food sovereignty
for those who have never heard about it: “Food sovereignty, a term coined by members of Via Campesina in 1996, asserts that the people who produce, distribute, and consume food should control the mechanisms and policies of food production and distribution, rather than the corporations and market institutions that have come to dominate the global food system. It also encompasses the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems. The phrase "culturally appropriate” signifies that the food that is available and accessible for the population should fit with the cultural background of the people consuming it.“
food sovereignty is inclusive of both vegan diets and those who cannot go vegan whether it’s because of chronic illness, sustenance needs or anything else
it also addresses the economic root cause of animal and land exploitation, ie who controls the means of production and whether their goals are to feed the people or expand profit margins
food sovereignty is an indigenous and peasent led movement that seeks to end the abuse of land and animals by empowering the workers who grow and harvest our food instead of greedy corporations
