Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
How has becoming vegan improved your life?
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
Being vegan has led me to be a much more organised person. Carnists have no fucking idea, but they can just leave the house and do their shit without thinking. Me, I gotta decide what I'm going to eat for the day and often I gotta make it the day before and prepare the box and cutlery before I leave home.
Being vegan has also given me a lot of confidence and resilience. I'm one of the few people who still masks, and I'm quite involved in a lot of orgs, and being vegan has prepared me for the shade and bullshit I get from libs and chuds. Honestly now their opinion means fuck all to me.
Lastly, and least importantly, it's easy to meet new people. If I go somewhere new, vegans always connect to other vegans as we know what we're going through. Not that vegans are perfect, but on average a vegan is a more righteous person than a carnist. And we tend to be nicer, cooler, and more interesting. Really.
Thanks for sharing, and yes I totally agree with the organization part. I never leave home without a lunch box and a plan. Overall it made me a better person because I'm never in the middle of something hungry and annoyed with the only options being something like Burger King which is unfortunately expanding where I live.
