V4ta. Hot26 yoga teacher. #wfpb arthritis since 1976. Vegan since 2016, making up for lost time every way possible. While I do other things elsewhere, I'm here for one thing and one thing only - the animals. Oh, yoga: where mind & body meet.

Children naturally love animals and don’t want to hurt them. Society, adults sadly teach them to think animals are for them to exploit be it by eating them, watching them in captivity…😢 If you 💚 animals, don’t eat them. Teach children that animals are here with us not for us: Challenge22.com 🌱

We've all been there 😅
Meme with the caption: “When you first go vegan but aren’t sure how.” Below are four photos of a whole coconut being placed incorrectly in different kitchen appliances: in a glass cup, inside an air fryer, on top of a toaster, and in a frying pan on a stovetop. The joke is about the confusion of new vegans not knowing how to prepare plant-based foods.

From supermarket shelves to TV ads, the industry paints a picture of rolling pastures, happy cows, and chickens roaming free. The reality? Around 85% of farmed animals in the UK are raised in factory farms.

Having got used to threads I find it superior technology to bluesky for content creation. For example I can see at a glance who has replied to my posts. Also I can edit my posts for a minute or two, which helps me double check for inadvertent spelling corrections and other misdemeanors.

So true and I’m still ashamed it took me so long to wake up😳 Denmark brag about being an Educated country ahead of so many others and Welfare above all just not Farm Animals even we as the only Country so far have a law saying they are sentient beings and should be treated as such but they don’t 🖤🙇‍♀️

Most humans are numb to the barbarism. Most humans would rather insult the messengers of empathy for the voiceless victims than accept the barbarity they directly support and gain the self awareness and self actualization necessary to end it. ॐ

Within humans killing someone carries the heaviest sentence that a court can impose, regardless of country. Now if we kill a farm animal it is called HUMANE slaughter., ie how we would treat a human. Call it what is is, barbaric slaughter. Most humans are barbarians.

Ttreating an animal well or bad and then killing it still takes away the life. Poor welfare is horrible but it is a result of a killing machine bent on improving profits. Less welfare=Higher profit especially sold as high welfare. Veganism is about stopping the business because it's corrupt.

That final diet (this was 2016) has been solid ever since. A low fat WFPB on without nightshades and few nuts. I was GF for 3 years. I accidentally ate some chillies (a nightshade) 2 days ago. The pain& stiffness was horrible. Such pain wanes over 2 days.

The FS&ND solution didn't appeal but I tried it and it helped, a bit. Since then I lived and breathed nutrition and now qualified in nutrition. I was fortunate and found the paddison program, a self-education process. So for 6 months I tested most every food on my body in a very rigorous process.

I was largely ignorant of nutrition until I hit my roadblock in 2015. In excruciating pain I became a couch potato. Drugs weren't working and I was going downhill fast. I happened on Fat, sick & nearly dead on YT. It inspired me to believe I could possibly help myself with nutrition.

Can we go back to your starting point. You said you were vegan but something changed about your opinion on whether it is justified to kill animals. What changed your mind?

andysⓋⓋarbs @andyswarbs.bsky.social · 18/09/2025
My conviction comes from having watched earthlings. It took me 3 tries over a year. Never again will I watch it. But no matter how hard it was for me to watch it, I thought of the animals experiencing it. Never again in my name.
