The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!

Question of the week:

"Tell me about a discussion you've had with the intent of guiding someone towards veganism? How did it go? What could you have done differently?

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!

I don't really try and guide people towards veganism but when people ask me why I'm vegan I say something like "I love animals and I don't want to harm them." Or "I don't think living things should be commodities."

If you leave it with "I love animals" they will say something like "me too" and I'm too scared of conflict to call that out, so I just lay it out from the start 🤷🏻‍♀️
