Vegan

Hi

I am a vegan and was wondering if there were any other vegan Aspie's out there.  I would be interested to know if it has helped any sensory issues.

  • I eat less meat then I used to, and included more vegetables and fruit, but I still eat it. 

    I don't personally think that eating a vegan or vegetarian diet is any better for animals or the environment, considering farming crops takes up a lot of land, which takes away space from the native animal population and prevents natural wildlife from thriving. Also while harvesting crops, animals can get run over by the machines. They can also get run over during transportation. 

    Also there's less fortunate people growing and picking the crops, close to being enslaved, barely eating enough to stay alive. 

    And since the boom in vegan and vegetarianism, crop farmers are also not in good shape. They are overworked and can barely keep up with the high demand. They have to sow, grow, harvest, and rotate all the crops, they're exhausted and it's barely given them any time to do anything else.

    I don't find that meat production is any better, but I understand that no matter what I eat, it's not going to be cruelty-free or good for the environment, considering what kind of systems we have in place, and considering people are always hungry. and there's always a high demand for food, It's hard to change these things. 

    I suppose if anyone wanted it to be absolutely moral, they'd have to grow their own food, so they know exactly where the food came from.
