"Why Vegan" Series: Veganism and Humankind
Manage episode 432028808 series 2967884
In today’s instalment of our “Why Vegan” series, we’ll be talking about another one of those big reasons why so many people are opting for more and more vegan meals and choices, and why so many have decided to go vegan. As I’ve been saying throughout the series, it doesn’t matter if you’ve decided to make this change because of animals, or the environment, or your health, no matter what your personal reason why is, eating a vegan diet helps create wonderful changes in all of these areas, and the lives and rights of our fellow humans are no exception.
As you know, my personal reason why was the way animals are treated in our current animal agriculture system. What I hadn’t realized when I first went vegan, was that in all these industries that include so much mistreatment and cruelty to animals, there is also inherent violence present for our fellow humans who work in these facilities, in the communities surrounding places like slaughterhouses and factory farms, as well as many problematic issues for people who live in impoverished communities that have been affected by our high and growing consumption of animal products. In today’s episode we talk all about these connections between the foods we eat and the rights of our fellow humans, and I’ll share why this decision of switching to a vegan or plant-based diet can create such an impact in the lives of many, not only the non-human animals who we share this planet with, but our fellow humans as well.
A little trigger warning before today’s episode: Keep in mind that in today’s episode we’ll be talking about some difficult issues including violations of basic human rights, domestic violence, PTSD, poverty and food insecurity. If you feel this isn’t the right time for you, know that the information will be here when you’re ready. If you are willing to join us in this conversation, please know that I’ll be discussing these issues in as sensitive way as I can. I thank you as always for listening and bearing witness.
