@ambiguous_yelp @rancholibertad you are being exactly the kind of white vegan who (rightfully!) gives white vegans a bad name. You do NOT come into an Indigenous person's mentions to arrogantly lecture them like this. You were met with assumptions you were acting in good faith, you were told the way you were behaving was racist, and instead of having some humbleness and considering you may in fact be in the wrong in your behaviour, you doubled down.
I'm a settler and a lifelong vegetarian, and an on-again off-again vegan: I'm sympathetic to some (some!) of your arguments. But how you've conducted yourself here is completely unacceptable, you're just making the experience of Indigenous people on mastodon worse, when if you see something you disagree with you could just scroll on by instead.
I don't accept that anything I've said today is racist, as I explained in more detail above, veganism isn't anti poor indigenous people because plant based food systems are more efficient, you can feed more people and less people starve, I want the exact opposite of what I was accused of

Vous connaissez des recettes végétarienne et vegan japonaises ? Encore mieux vous connaissez des livres de recettes végé et vegan japonaises ?
Parce que pour l'instant tous les livres de recettes que je trouvent restent très centrés sur la viande =/

@AdrianRiskin @ambiguous_yelp Indeed. Animals and humans cohabitate, and have formed cooperative and, yes, mutually beneficial relationships. There is no cycle without others to fill the niches in ecosystem we cannot fill, and the vegan standpoint that it is immoral for anything to die by our hand is illogical, as is the "speciesist" stance (though they kill untold trillions of microbial lifeforms each and every day in the movements of their lives) that it is speciesist to decide whose life is supported by the life of another. It is a viewpoint which is strictly linear and hierarchical, and cannot fathom a lack of hierarchy and the kind of mutualistic web that we exist within or that land-connected peoples have understood for millions of years. And truthfully it is only the product of colonialism and global food systems: only contemplative disciplines ever practiced veganism historically, and it was with willing regard for life and cycles and the knowing that they were denying themselves. Veganism is not a culturally viable practice for many, and dogmatic and prosyletizing veganism stands in ideological opposition to food sovereignty in many instances. Its morality is also philosophically quite flimsy, but it makes its adherents feel good about themselves, and therefore it is quite a tempting stance to adopt.
We cannot avoid killing microbes, we can avoid treating chickens bodies like machines that are here to produce *for humans*
To suggest that because all ways of living cause some harm to non-humans invalidates the whole vegan position is a form of appeal to nirvana fallacy. Just because the perfect cannot be attained doesn't mean we shouldnt avoid obvious exploitation wherever we can
Actually antihierarchy is a foundational part of veganism, I'm a veganarchist, for me extending fundamental rights to non-humans is part of a wider anarchist project of dismantling systems of supremacy. When you put "food sovereignty" above other creatures right to life you are perpetuating a human supremacist hierarchy. You are saying that our human ambitions excuse exploiting their bodies.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "culturally viable" but any culture that necessitates unnecessary death and exploitation is not an excuse for exploitation its just a self serving rationalization for continuing to benefit from the subjugation of other species
From an anarchist perspective what it comes down to is this, for most of human history humans have leveraged their immense power over other species for their own ends with varying degrees of consideration to their wellbeing. As the population has gotten larger the demand for animal products has skyrocketed and now farming them has become incompatible with continued life on earth.
But the whole time there has been an implied consensus that other animals were here for us to use. That by way of us being able to kill them we were justified in killing them, and when self imposed limits were placed on hunting etc it wasnt for the non-humans benefit, it was to allow their continued exploitation forever
And the veganarchist position is this: that this supposed right of humans to kill other animals for our own purposes is a power hierarchy, and its an incredibly violent hierarchy that needs to be dismantled for the sake of the vast majority of creatures on this planet. So the claim that as a vegan I inherently justify a hierarchy of other species is unfounded.

If you have a connection in Warsaw central and at least 60 min to spare, I always recommend Vege kitchen in Chmielna 10. You can get a #vegan "small soup" for 4 € in less than 5 min.

Got to Warsaw on time. The bus ride was uneventful, the driving not reckless. The usual one passenger who sometimes couldn't stop talking. I got a decent sleep and even managed to extend my legs sometimes. We got stuck on the S61 after Łomża for maybe 20 min due to an accident (?).
My go-to (Kulturalna) was still closed so I went to my usual fallback, a spacious chain place where I get an overpriced coffee to use the facilities. It's full of fancy office workers; and me washing in the bathroom.

Does anyone have advice on cooking tofu? I'm making a red Thai curry for dinner.
I gave up on tofu in my earlier vegetarian days because I didn't enjoy making it, but I've recently read that almost everything I learned about pressing it and cooking it was 1970s US 'make it like meat' vegetarianism and not really how it's cooked in most Asian cuisines.
Or is that just down to how it's packaged/sold in the US?
