Are there any vegans Somalis?

[Khanderson]

Not a vegan: just wondering to know if there are Somalis that supports Veganism.



Wanting to know when did you started the dietary practice and why you started it?



-What made you feel encouraged in the first place?



For what I know is how animals are mostly treated in the food industry.



Other vegans doing this to protect the wildlife dangers And preventing animal extinctions.



Others do it for Guru spiritual reasons to feel connected to Mother Nature (hippie sh*t).

The True Somali lives on meat and milk.
I cannot support an idea that takes away our diet and replaces it with tofu and "plant based burgers"

And who says plant based diet is more environmental friendly? They still need to fertilize and plant millions if not billions hectares of soil to feed the world population. This will require lots of fuel and energy, not only during planting and harvesting but also to process and destribute to different countries etc..

The “Meat & milk” meme doesn’t exist in todays Somalia.

Most Somalis are eating carbs and other unhealthy foods.

Non of which even read the label since it’s written In English (thanks to the west).

Also this question is mostly directed at the westerners (diaspora Somalis).

Not really looking much at the back home communities.

Some or most countries (controversially) uses GMO on their soil to grow plant foods.

E.g soybean, potatoes, summer squash, apples, papayas, and pink pineapples.

Some even said they’re good for our environments.

GMO’s are the feature usage to protect our environments and wildlife species against foods extinctions.

Gradually want to remove meat from my life but i am not millitant about it for now. I want to reprogram the way i cook and train my eyes to see new food combinations/possibilites.

I have lactose intolarance so not big on dairy anyway, but i am not aiming to be vegan.

I am motivated by my own internal "guilt" regarding slaughtering of animals when i can get like 90% of my nutrional needs met and live in one of the wealthiest countries on earth, i believe whatever you feel personally called to support you have to give your all to in order to keep the spiritual fire burning. For me making a sacrifice, standing by principles - its what makes me feel like a consciouss alive human being.

I am positive there are vegan somalis out there

Those plants are farmed by killing all sorts of insects and basically sterilising the environment. Think of all those bugs and insects that get bodied by the pesticides sprayed all over the farm.

Either way your food will cause deaths. It's a fact of life.

I'm not against changing your diet. Just needed to say this for all those that think switching to plant based diet somehow means their food isn't killing anything.

Good point.
Insects ≠ Animals
i feel more empathy for mammals i guess, i am not trying to spread a doctrine or be objectively morally superior, just trying to appease my own sense of right and wrong. Once you feel guilty once it eats at you

Veganism is a psyop.

 

[Nak-Muay-Femeu]

I was really really hoping some Farax would start defending veganism/admit to being a vegan so I could savagely maul him lol.

"So warya, do you prefer the taste of your boyfriends cüm when he cuts the Tofu out of his diet or nah?"

 

[Khanderson]

Veganism is a psyop.

Can you blame, though? Lol

If you look at todays foods industry: you’d know why vegans even exist to begin with.

Refine carbs/sugary foods destroyed peoples perception of foods. They don’t trust their government.

Vegans are whack: I believe humans needs meats/fish to survive since it’s
essential.

But they also believe the meats that’s being sold on the markets are poisonous and the animals don’t get well the treatment.

They’re activists and they do come as an cult by non vegans (which they hate).



Blame the governments and the people for supporting junk foods.

Vegans are just a reaction to their bad environments.

Have you tried any certain diets you wanna share?

I have lactose intolarance so not big on dairy anyway, but i am not aiming to be vegan.

My father and older brothers are lactose intolerant (excluding me and my younger brother).

Have you tried Camel milk? I’ve heard they’re good for people with lactose intolerance.

 

[Khanderson]

why are you posting a video of [bill gates] on my vegan thread?

I rather see faraxs injecting a vegan supplements on their Uranus, instead of what they’re consuming in todays age.



Truly a regression.
