An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

yeah hit me
You really pulled up into the comment section of a vegan community post, announced you were non vegan, and then meatsplained? Mf'ing hilarious. You did the stereotype of vegans, to vegans.
Where do I collect my title?
Omnivores in western countries tend to eat too little fiber and have their own nutrition deficits.
I’m not even arguing whether a vegan diet is healthier or not, but omnivores shouldn’t assume they’re on easy mode for micronutrients. Everyone should get their blood regularly tested, because waiting for the effects of a vitamin or mineral deficiency to become obvious is not only super unpleasant, but makes the treatment take longer.
Pretending that it is some kind of hard thing to get your friggin b12 has to be a joke. The "hardest" part ist getting your blood checked (every year), which should be a no brainer for every one. But i bet my ass in america this is some kind of super expensive service.
I didn't say it was hard, I said it was harder than never worrying about it at all.
But that is the mistake. Having a "normal" diet you should also "worry" about your nutrition because malnutrition is more common that people think. Getting your blood checked once in a while is important. Making sure you get enough fruits and vegetables is important. Sure you might not worry about those things, just like a vegan might not worry and simply take a b12 pill every once in a while. It is simply a lazy ass and potentially dangerous move to not care at all about your nutrition.
That said, nobody can or will force you to do any changes to your diet and going vegan for health is the last thing i would recommend. It is an ethical stance, not a diet. Also, eat more veggies, it is good for you.
Lmfao, wasn't me saying "yeah hit me" homie.
I'm blind. Nonetheless, they asked before, and they weren't wrong.
How are your accessibility options for Lemmy now compared to a year ago? Just curious.
Metaphorically blind.
Vegetables are some of the most nutritionally complete things you can eat.
If a dog was sleeping in the driveway behind your car and you were running late for work, would you take the extra time and effort to make sure they get out of the way, or just run them over?
If not funding the worst atrocities against animals means I need to pay a little extra attention to my diet (something most omnivores should be doing as well), that's a perfectly fine tradeoff to me.
That's a pretty wild interpretation of what I said lol.
The person I replied to was making a case for eating meat out of convenience, and I used an analogy to show that people generally wouldn't put their convenience over an animal's welfare.
People hate vegans because vegans are proof that you don't need to support industries that profit off of harming animals.
Honestly, I was joking, but you have a good attitude and also a fair point worth engaging with
But the spirit of the meme is not so much about whether omnivores get the nutrients, but the shared lived experiences of vegans and vegetarians who generally have put a great deal of thought into their diet and then get lectured about it constantly. Lectures often delivered from people who have no idea what they’re talking about, because they simply assume the pepperoni on their pizza offers them a completely optimal nutritional profile
Wanna be vegan but not have to think about it? Buy our subscription box food thing!
Well, now I’m not sure what you mean lol. Cheers
Just giving you guys an easy way to recruit.
