Taking newborn calves from their mothers is standard in the dairy industry. They have no choice, we do: soy, oat, rice…. The dairy industry is also the meat industry.

🌱 #PlantBased food isn’t a limitation or a punishment - it’s a ✨PROGRESSIVE CHOICE✨that is better for animals, the planet & our health. It’s about making a conscious decision to start treating all species w the respect they deserve, and by extension creating a more just world for all ⚖️

A really interesting listen.

Recorded in 2023 & gives a good insight into @zackpolanski.bsky.social views on a variety of topics, including the need for kindness and inclusion.

I came away feeling positive & energised.

(Also learnt my closest Green MP @adrianramsay.bsky.social is also vegan!👍🌱).

The death struggle of this beautiful, defenseless being is heartbreaking!

Not to mention the other thousands of victims on this ship.

Please, do not fund the fishing industry,

Oh we drove through Malton to visit York for a day. We may well return to the area, always good to have a recommendation 👍🏽

Our favourite find during our stay was Planetwise in Bridlington. Not to be missed if you find yourself nearby

Ha! Feels like a small world 😄 It's a great little place serving proper grub - just what you need when you've got a good appetite.

Veganism isn’t about perfection — it’s about participation in change. Each meal is a vote for the world we want to live in.

Thoroughly enjoyed a break from the madness of the world by escaping into the mad world of Moz in the excellent and very funny stage performance of Ideal. Johnny Vegas even made the (very irritating) plastic cup funny. Just brilliant 💚 #Ideal

Two e-book covers by Pathless Pilgrim related to veganism. The left cover, titled “VEGAN COOKING & NUTRITION,” features a bowl of colourful plant-based food—avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onions, green beans, and grains—with chopsticks resting on the bowl, set against a black background. The right cover, titled “AN INTRODUCTION TO VEGANISM AND ANIMAL RIGHTS,” shows a calf standing in a pen, with a white background. Both titles use green and black text, highlighting themes of ethical living and nutritional guidance.

Couldn't agree more - and you're absolutely right, many people are choosing to go vegan for the environment and science backs plant based eating to reduce a carbon footprint. This article undermines all of that.

It's so disappointing to see the @theguardian.com reinforcing misconceptions around veganism. Not all vegans use soya, but most meat eaters will have eaten animals who are fed soya - and of course it's in many foods. But vegans get the blame for destroying the Amazon by those reading such headlines.

Correct headline: 'How the world's taste for MEAT is eating Brazil's Amazon' - a very good point made by @herbivoreclub.bsky.social re @theguardian.com article.

"Nearly 80% of soya beans are used for livestock and aquaculture, as China, the main buyer, uses 85% for animal feed, linking rising global meat demand to Brazil’s expanding exports"

Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

Almost didn't go to Bridlington (it's wet & windy today) but Happy Cow found this gem of a place so I'm really glad we made it.
The team there are very friendly, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and got chatting with other vegans. Made our day 🌞🌻💚🌱
