For me personally, I think the climate crisis is gonna be the biggest catalyst for vegan activism in the coming decades. If not converting to veganism fully, it's for sure going to get a lot of leftists and libs who try to care about the environment to reduce their consumption of animal products. I am jaded but I feel like someone reducing their consumption to like 2-3 meals a week with animal products(like I did for a few years before going vegan) is a small victory at least. I'd still rather it be zero consumption, of course.

As a member of our local Food Not Bombs, I feel like the unhoused just want a hot meal, or food or any kind. They don't seem to care so much if it's vegan or not. I will say in our local chapter, we do have like 2 new vegans. The one I know for sure did Veganuary in 2024 and stuck with it(good for her!). So maybe bringing volunteeers over to veganism but I don't think it affects the unhoused one way or the other. And even with the one or two new vegans via FNB, that's still a drop in the bucket of a city of 350,000.

I've seen shitposting and struggle sessions work to some degree on reddit at least but I still think it's a drop in the bucket. I mean, one new vegan is a win regardless, but we ultimately need a mass movement and I think the climate crisis is that potential. The hard part is getting people to understand that of all the shit destroying the planet, that is one of the few things we as peasants can do to bring effective change, but it's gonna take a lot of us. But, that was one of the thoughts that got me to go vegan, so I mean it worked for me.

Also sorry I haven't posted food pics lately. Made a few veggie hummus sammiches, some beans and rice, and also used a certain brand of soy curls for the first time this week for tacos, and they were a hit with the whole family of meat eaters.
