Earnestly iirie The Plant Eating Goddess

I am leaving some of these groups again. People are constantly policing what people say even when it is informative and positive.

Most group admins even want to control conversations between people who are actually having meaningful conversations.

They don't seem to understand the difference between, arguments, debates or sharing knowledge.

I really want to have good conversations with people and learn something but it just doesn't happen even in the groups that are allegedly meant for that

There are lots of jokes about being Vegan. About how hard or strange it is. Or saying how great eating animals is in comparison. But what people seem to miss is Vegan don't like the idea/action of eating and killing animals for food and also we do our best to avoid things that require direct use of animals bodies.

It is not a perfect system. Animals still die because humans live on earth and we will harm them to build homes, roads and other structures. We also will harm them farming even plants and taking resources from the earth. However the goal is reducing harm by not breeding animals for our needs solely.

I also understand some parts of the world people don't have access to grow fruits and vegetables. I learned about this island in the Pacific Islands, I believe that their land was ravished by colonizers who took the minerals and they can literally grow nothing there. That is sad, so they eat the worse canned meats and this greatly after their health. That upsets me.

We couldn't enforce this way of life on them nor more than we could on tribal people. There are also food deserts. Maybe in those food deserts there could be help and education provided.

For us who can be Vegan, have access, think slaughterhouses are wrong. Don't want to wear fur or leather. Care of animals are being tested on, this is a choice we can make.

For those who can, please do. For those who are curious, ask a knowledgeable Vegan, not a person who plantbased, because that is just a diet. I am happy to have real conversations that mean something. That come from years of my education and research. I am open to share what I know and have experienced.

I just more people didn't view it as a joke, because just like my culture, my love of being a Black Woman, caring about the disadvantaged, people who go thru any hardship... this means something to me too and many people who are Vegan care about abundance of issues that affect humankind. It just seems many focus on the ones who are hypocritical, do it because it is trendy, which sickens me or see this stereotypical Vegan type and think we are the same.

Those who know my husband and I, we are not. Vegans are not monolithic because people are not.

Respectfully & Compassionately,

Okay so I guess no walk today because it is really raining. I am going to march around my living then and do my squats, oblique and torso focus, leg lift variations and dancehall workout while the furbabies stare at me. Are you getting in some exercise today?
