If you are against animal exploitation but won't go vegan because fear of missing out on all the things that are not vegan, try to focus on the positive side when you chooce vegan: you are doing the right thing, helping the animals and the planet. It's a just cause.
Let's stop together making up justifications for something cruel. 
Be happy and smile, spread happiness and positive energy.

I think it's time for a re-introduction!
Hello fediverse! I am an admin for Veganism.Social, VoIP engineer, sim-racer with @ethixracing, gamer, foodie, and long-time ethical vegan. I'm originally from South Florida, but now living in the Orlando area as of 2020. I'm usually not a very social person, but I'm trying to change that! I want to make a difference in the world, and one person cannot do that alone, so connecting with others is essential.
My political and ethical views are all centered around equality, compassion, and environmental protection. I am anti-capitalist, but I also understand that it's impossible in the current state of society to avoid participating in it. So I try to make the best decisions I can with the options given to me in order to minimize the harm it causes.
Humans and animals all over the world are facing troubling times, and thinking about it has taken a massive toll on my mental health. Now, I am trying to focus my efforts on things that I can change, rather than spreading myself too thin and not helping at all. This doesn't mean I'm ignoring all of the other suffering, but simply trying to prioritize based on what is within my reach.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and if you feel like we have something in common, give a follow! I look forward to meeting like-minded individuals and organizations that seek to make the world a better place!
For a bit more info about myself and my sim-racing efforts, check out this interview I did with @veganeasy last year.

i like to think that tonight's aston villa win over PSG was for benjamin zephaniah on what would - & SHOULD - have been his 67th birthday.
he was practically perfect in every way - on palestine, non-human animals, the planet, equality & the monarchy - & i know this because he wouldn't have liked anyone holding him in such high esteem.
happy ben day, everyone.

Voy a dejar por aquí algunos consejos para hacer el camino de Santiago siendo vegano, tanto para gente de España como de otros lugares que quizá no conozcan algunas costumbres.
Spoiler, no es facil pero tampoco imposible, sobre todo si te centras en la experiencia de andar y en el recorrido mas que en comer bien. Puedes comer bien al llegar a Santiago. Al final dejo los nombres de 3 restaurantes espectaculares en los que estuve yo.
🌰 Desayuno. En España puedes tomar una tostada con tomate y aceite o con mermelada en cualquier bar, por lo que esto no será un problema. Leche de soja, para el aporte proteico, encontraras a veces y a veces no. Sino un cafe o un te sin leche siempre vas a poder pedir.
🌽 Pueblos principales. Puedes verte tentado de alojarte en los puntos intermedios entre etapas y es una excelente idea si quieres evitar aglomeraciones, yo preferi quedarme en los pueblos mas grandes para aprovechar las tardes y hacer compras (aunque tambien las puedes hacer cuando estas caminando) y porque hay una oferta mayor de restaurantes donde puedes encontrar alguna opcion vegana.
🍐Proteina en polvo. En España casi siempre vas a poder pedir unas patatas bravas o una ensalada sin huevo, atun o queso. En muchos otros sitios parrillada de verduras o pimientos de padron y pan. Si te llevas proteina en polvo puedes completar la ingesta de verduras y carbohidratos con los aminoacidos necesarios para que tu cuerpo se repare. Pesa poco y es facil de preparar.
🥔 Planifica. Muchos de los pueblos pequeños no tienen ni siquiera una tienda. Planifica la tarde anterior las paradas del dia siguiente. Ademas cuenta con que domingos y sabados por la tarde pueden estar cerradas algunas tiendas y supermercados.

"Now, you might presume that veganism and the wellness community are natural allies
After all, a whole foods plant-based diet has been shown time and time again by the evidence to not only be healthy for us, but to have the potential to prevent chronic diseases
So, what’s the problem here?
Well, the problem is for many within the wellness space, they’re not interested in what the evidence shows. In fact, the evidence is often what is to be feared
Because evidence leads to changes in government guidelines. It leads to changes within the medical profession. It leads to changes from health authorities
And within the wellness space, for many, it is less about wellness and more about rejecting all these different institutions and ideas. For many, wellness is about rejecting what is mainstream because they view what has been normalised and adopted or recommended by health authorities as being what we should fear
The actual notion of wellness is less about following the evidence and what the science shows us and more about being a contrarian. At its core, the pursuit wellness for many people is the pursuit of going against what other people are doing because maybe it makes them feel special
Maybe it makes them feel like they’re more intelligent, that they know things that other people don’t know. Maybe it’s a way of signifying that they stand out, that they have significance because they’re not doing what everyone else is doing. They’re not part of the mainstream. They’re not “falling for the lies and misinformation being propagated by establishment and health authorities and government guidelines”."
With Shark Week approaching, we're teaming up with Shark Allies for every race this July - making it Shark Month! Starting Tuesday night at Atlanta, our #81 Chevy will be proudly sporting the Shark Allies branding on the track, and we'll be sharing shark-related content here on Mastodon.
Shark Allies is a non-profit originally established in 2007 in Hawaii, and advocates for the global protection of sharks through various campaigns and programs - from education to legislation. We are beyond grateful for their efforts, and proud to show our support for them.
To kick off Shark Month, we'll be donating $200 to Shark Allies. If you are able, please consider supporting their work by making a donation at https://sharkallies.org. We'll also donate an extra $1 for every follow and boost we get!
If you are not in a position to donate but would like to contribute to saving sharks (and other animals), the biggest thing you can do is to adopt a #PlantBased diet and #vegan lifestyle. Bycatch from the fishing industry is a major cause of shark decline, and overfishing in general leads to the collapse of fisheries and ecosystems that sharks need to survive. By removing animals from your diet and not purchasing products with ingredients derived from animals, you are reducing the demand for these harmful and exploitative systems.
