#NotAllVegans

There are two basic assumptions here which are way off. Firstly have you seen Livestock’s Long Shadow produced by World Watch? This proves that 51% of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. You need to dismantle that rigorously compiled data to make your argument stick. Secondly you say that veganism is racist but do you realise that most vegans in the world are people of colour? Many Hindi, Buddhist and African sects such as rastafarians are vegetarian or vegan. People on a tight budget struggle to afford meat. I work with disadvantaged people of colour in South Africa and they are so relieved when I tell them they are getting all the nutrients they need when they eat the free fruit and vegetables my charity is helping them to grow in their own or in community gardens.
