    How's your weather?

    I'm in Brampton Ontario, it's rainy for now which I love but is bad for my head (used to have a concussion) I'm a bit of a weirdo, I love cold weather. The colder it is, the better I feel.

    Please help, much appreciated

    I think you ought to wait until you can buy the vegan ones mate. I'm not passionate about fashion, I'm glad you are and it's interesting to read your post, but I legitimately wouldn't feel right advising you to buy leather.

    Advice on dealing with omnivore flatmate?

    Homes the best thing would be for you to move. 6 months ago I would've said just try to brave it out our get your own mini fridge. But I had three omnivore housemates, one cooked a lot, one only ate canned food, the other always brought home take out. It disgusted me. I've grown up in a...

    So...what's your favorite and least favorite veggie?

    Can't stand Brussel sprouts, have never had them in any way that was enjoyable. I'll avoid picking legumes or it'd be lentils easily. I'll pick Cauliflower. It's not the tastiest, but it's so versatile. I'm Punjabi, aloo Gobi (potato cauliflower curry) is an "accidentally" vegan delicacy. If...

    The dairy industry and agriculture

    Hey there, I'm a a vegan welfarist who focuses on one thing, the harms produced by an act (zemiology). The dairy industry, the way it's operating produces harms beyond measure. My momz family (in India) had a small dairy farm. But it wasn't a farm as much as it was a house that happened to...

    Veganism, israel and judaism

    I don't know if appealing to Judaism's religious components would work (am all for it if it does, but I'm ignorant of Jewish culture, don't know much about it. I have found that most Jewish people I have talked to are a bit more understanding of the comparisons made towards the Holocaust. All I...

    Animals eat animals

    Honestly just say the following : -animals do not have the moral agency that humans have -some animals literally can't get nutrients unless they eat others, whiele humans can -animals do a lot of things that we wouldn't consider moral, shall we just do them as well and justify them by saying...

    Feeling guilty

    I know you're feeling guilty, but that feeling of guilt alone is enough to show that you care. Look past that one instance and commit to veganism again. Brainstorm what you can do to avoid situations like this. If it helps by being honest to your wife, friends, and family about you being vegan...

    Using the race card or a slavery analogy to help animals?

    Absolutely agree. Context and awareness of who you're speaking to is always necessary. Most of the people that I bring up the holocaust comparison happened to be fellow graduate students or older undergraduate students. Even some of my friends that know me better and are history buffs will...

    Using the race card or a slavery analogy to help animals?

    There are inherent comparisons between the genocides and oppressions throughout history. The comparisons can be made quite easily (my heritage is Indian) and I've used it to explain how oppression can extend to animals. My favourite comparison to make is the holocaust one, not because I get some...

    Show em a little love, let em know that you'll help them however you can. I have friends that are edging closer towards plant based diets everyday. One of them still eats meat but has ditched dairy, hoping she turns to me for hhelp if she needs it when deciding she wants to drop meat. I...

    Is it possible not to eat animals and not be vegan?

    I feel veganism has to include an ethical position against violence against animals. Someone can have a vegan diet but they're plant based (semantics to me personally, as I consider them useful allies).

    Why are we such serious people being vegan?

    We've decided we refuse to support an injustice and it'll always give us a bit of a "serious side" but Its just one layer to us. I myself am a casual easy going dude. I used to do stand up comedy, and now make jokes about everything. Its my way to deal with stuff, especially with friends that...
