12th March 2025 release: NARA & ARI collaborated on a second investigation of pig farms in Ireland, this time covering 4 different farms located in Cavan. Each one as horrific as our first investigation.

I was browsing Aliexpress (yeah, i know, i know) for some electronic components, and came across "review us" stickers with nfc tags embedded in them:

Now, my thought was, I can get a blank roll of sticky NFC 213 tags, so wouldn't it be cool to have vegan activism stickers that open watchdominion.org or something like that when you hold your phone to them?!?
That would be way less prone to weathering than QR codes, and interacting with something like that makes it super memorable imo

Is that maybe already a thing I could buy (in Europe)?

If not, then I've got a new art project in my backlog haha

Amid the egg production shortage caused by the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry, more than 50 local convenience stores, known for their made-to-order, on-the-go hot food options, have begun rolling out breakfast sandwiches called “Bird Flu Bailout.”

The classic menu item has been remixed and made with Just Egg, a plant-based egg substitute.

Starting March 5th

You know how vegans are so annoying and preachy?

Here are some reasons why. #vegan @vegan @vegan
13 Shocking World Records Set by Animal Agriculture

Well, here it is!

A few days ago, I made a post appealing for information relating to animal product usage in the music instrument industry. Historically, musical instruments have used animal products. Typically, drumheads were made of animal skin, piano keys of ivory, and violin bows of horsehair. A lot of these processes have been phased out (most drums use Mylar for their skins now, and ivory was banned for pianos in the 80s.)

Here are some patterns I've noticed while creating this sheet:

1. Drums and harmonicas are the "most vegan" instruments
2. Acoustic pianos are much more likely to use wool than electric pianos
3. The violin industry is the worst for animal products. Most violin manufacturers still use bows with horsehair.
4. Manufacturers specialising in introductory/student products, such as Sigma and Franz Hoffmann, tend to use animal-derived materials rather than synthetic ones.
5. Actual saxophones are vegan, but a lot of manufacturers use genuine leather straps. All companies that use leather for their straps have been labelled as orange. Trumpets, flugel horns, tubas, and trombones are seemingly okay regardless of manufacturer. Some flutes used to use ivory but again, this practice was banned in 1989.
6. I discovered that clarinets tend to use goat skin for their pads. Unfortunately, I could not find any information on exactly which companies use animal skin for their clarinets. Sorry.

Another thing I've noticed is that information relating to this topic is EXTREMELY muddy. I would often find a source claiming that a manufacturer did not use animal products only to double check their information pages and see that they use wool. I would find sources claiming a manufacturer isn't vegan only to check their information pages and see that they seemingly use no animal products. For this reason, I cannot guarantee that the information in the spreadsheet is 100% accurate, but this is the closest to accuracy I have been able to get to.

This sheet compiles the top manufacturers in each category of instrument. If anyone has any other manufacturers they'd like me to investigate, please just say so in the comments.

I was lucky enough to come across this recipe which provides me with a scrumptious and nutritious meal. I thought I'd share it with the wider vegan community. In terms of flavour and texture, it's up there with more traditional tacos. Please enjoy and if you make them, let us know how you found them.

The data on this page was obtained from the USDA NASS Quickstats Database. The cattle slaughter numbers include bulls, heifers, steers, and dairy cows. Calves are counted separately and amounted to about 315,900 deaths in 2023.

I'm looking for a vegan sandwich protein recipe that is more of a whole food than the highly processed food that is often found in stores. So far, I'm going to try out lentil patties. I figure I can freeze a batch and stick them in the air fryer as needed. Any other ideas?

Introducing to the Vegan Theory Club Lemmy!

This is a link sharing site for vegan things. We have open registration if you want to create an account and log in.

We host four communities which are like "subreddits"

1. Vegan Home Cooks
2. Vegan Recipes
3. Gardening
4. Vegan

The communities are here to help share links and photos for vegans by vegans.

!homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org is a site for a discord server called Vegan Home Cooks Discord. This is a low-friction post-what-you-cooked community so we can share what we made today and talk about it, no recipes required. We want to provide motivation and encouragement for each other and show off what we made today.

!recipes@vegantheoryclub.org is focused on how to cook and links to recipe sites.

!gardening@vegantheoryclub.org is focused on our gardens, plants, hydroponics and learning how to do it. Some of us are pros and some are just learning and want to post what we're reading and what we're doing.

!vegan@vegantheoryclub.org is for general vegan news, I don't really know what to do with this one.

If these don't show up on your home instance please search for them on your instance to subscribe and federate the posts for everyone on your insance!
