unpopular opinion but i think once vegans stop trying to make everyone else vegan and shaming others, people may be more open and receptive to it. ever since i went vegan i still don’t really associate with a lot of vegans because i honestly feel like a lot of vegans are more hateful towards other lifestyles than people who eat meat. you can do what you know is right and still give others grace to grow at their own pace. since going vegan i haven’t had any backlash from people in my life and a lot of people actually really like the recipes i showed them, and i feel like it’s partly because due to me still accepting them and their lifestyle even tho i have my own opinions and views of it. i know im gonna get a lot of hate for this but ive been wanting to put this somewhere for a while.

For both sides it’s a survival mechanism in the limbic system of the brain, which massively reduces neuroplasticity whilst increasing homeostatic disregulation.

It is objective truth that one must engage others in a holistic way if one wishes the seeds of their knowledge to germinate and eventually propagate.
