Thanks for inspiring me to go eat a nice burger.
Please explain how race has anything to do with not eating animal products. If your answer is that black people are statistically more likely to be poor than other races and so have a harder time being vegan because vegetables are more expensive than meat, then the concept is trivial.
she literally wrote a book about it, dude. maybe you can check out something online from her, but believe she DOES articulate that brilliantly in the book. and she doesn't mention statistics once.
@John Smith
veganism isn't about not eating animal products, that is just a plant based diet which is an essential part of a vegan lifestyle. veganism is a belief in animal liberation and seeks to end animal exploitation through boycotting animal products primarily and other forms of activism.
a plant based diet not being accessible to marginalised groups is not trivial to veganism, a plant based diet is essential to good welfare which means it should be sustainable (which it is vastly more so than a carnist (animal based) diet) . capitalism is what creates scarcity when it comes to the availability of healthy food (or any food at all) and it's also what creates poverty. veganism is inherently anticapitalist
also racialised people are more likely to suffer the social, health and environmental impacts as carnism. such as being more likely to have to live near/work in slaughterhouses.
also the removal of agency and value of marginalised people and non human animals is linked, speciesism, sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia etc
@@chickpeapeace Please explain the relationship between veganism and capitalism and present an alternative to capitalism. Please explain your use of the word "homophobia" in the context of veganism.
One link between veganism and anti-capitalism would to argue against the commodification of flesh which disregards the sentient personhood inhabiting it.
Perhaps another link between various oppressions - and I say so hesitantly because we're talking about an entire interconnected system of oppression which has volumes of research dedicated to it, not done justice by a RUclips comment - may be the way in which marginalized groups are "dehumanized", often, historically, literally compared to or called "animals." Not only does this beg for us to investigate our relationship with "the animal" - as it seems to warrant violence - but it threatens every sentient being (humans included) with this violence, since every sentient being is an "animal."
Your questions seem genuine, but unfortunately RUclips isn't the most productive space for intellectual engagement. You're in the right place though, I strongly encourage you to read or listen on audible to Aph and Syl Ko's newest book - "Racism as Zoological Witchcraft: A Guide to Getting Out." For something a bit less academic and more engaging for the questions you're having, check out some of the lectures and debates of the RUclipsr, Earthling Ed. Apparently a lot of what he says is very reasonable and resonant with vegans and non-vegans alike. Good luck!
‘.and blah blah blah ‘ was the most poignant thing she said.
