Thank you for having me @asbury_book_cooperative

Thank you for having me
@asbury_book_cooperative !!! Posted @withregram • @asbury_book_cooperative Emilia A. Leese, author of Think Like A Vegan, gave such a thoughtful and illuminating presentation on vegan ethics at our event last Thursday. Thank you to everyone who came and contributed to the discussion! We sold all our copies, but if you’re interested in learning more about veganism and how it connects to all aspects of social justice, Think Like A Vegan is available to order on our website!

I was thinking about these lovely sheep and their

I was thinking about these lovely sheep and their lambs in the fields. To the world, they’re objects to be sold to a slaughterhouse.

And then I thought about why is it we consider it activism when we post images of them in slaughterhouses or transport lorries, but not here on their pastures?

I talked about the issues of consent related to graphic images of animals in Episode 5 of my @thinklikeavegan podcast. And this is related. If people don’t understand these sheep and all other animals aren’t objects when they see them in such “idyllic” conditions, then they’re not really going to care either when they see them at their most humiliated and degraded.

For most folks, it’ll always be a matter of minimising suffering instead of questioning whether we have any right to use them in the first place. They’ll not think about animals from a basic fairness perspective. And I believe we need to get to that point.

So, let’s keep advocating the ethical principles of veganism: animals aren’t objects subject to our whims. They’re sentient, we owe them basic fairness and that means they’ve got a right not to be used as commodities.

And happy Pride month! Love is love and so is fairness. It applies to everyone

Have you been to @eatalylondon yet? It’s an enor

Have you been to @eatalylondon yet? It’s an enormous space at Broadgate with all sorts of Italian products, including seasonal Italian fruits and vegetables (you might still be in time for agretti season and their courgette flowers were very decently priced), which makes me really happy, and a variety of prepared foods. There’s a covered and heated terrace too for aperitivi and they serve a few vegan-friendly dishes, including this pizza alla pala (from Lazio, the region where Rome is located). It’s fluffy, super crusty and the toppings are heaped on top. This was spinach and potatoes. ➡️The tarallini to go with an Aperol spritz or other bevvie are vegan friendly. Fun place for a proper catch up. And fun time shared with @kippysnacks.

My dime, nothing new there.

I’m a big fan of @123vegan_w1 . They’re the full package: great food, great service (the most professional and thoughtful I’ve experienced in London in a long time, if not ever), great ambiance even outside and they remember their clients with some nice gestures. Had sushi, prawns, chickpea fries, dragon roll and avocado kimchi salad. Oh delicious desserts. All shared with @citizen_kind . Get on the @gauthierinsoho newsletter list for remarkable offers (this was the two for one sushi experience).

As usual, my dime.

I’ve not done a food post in a while other than on stories. So here goes one for @dauns_scandifood. It was fantastic. This is the classic Scandi open sammie combo. It was delicious, filling and with ace balance of flavours and textures. Also had a toasted sandwich with cheese and it was heaven. Shared it all with @kippysnacks. The cafe is airy and bright, selling pastries, vegan meats and cheeses and choice vegan Scandi items. And Dauns himself is an enthusiastic and personable fellow without pretences. What’s not to love? Can’t wait to go again.

And not a burger on the menu 🙌🔥

As usual, my dime. My thoughts.

I’ve been so looking forward to this dropping. A fantastic discussion with two remarkable women. Thank you @theoriginalvegansociety for inviting me. Link in bio Posted @withregram • @theoriginalvegansociety Is extreme activism counterproductive to the vegan movement?

From sharing distressing footage from farms on social media to protesting outside a restaurant serving meat – is there such a thing as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ activism? And do extreme or militant forms of vegan activism run the risk of putting people off going vegan? That’s what we’re asking on today’s episode of The Vegan Pod.

@Sentient_Media’s Ana Bradley and @thinklikeavegan co author @emisgoodeating join our host Francine Jordan to discuss this further.

Audio clip from Episode 8 of Season One of @thinklikeavegan : the podcast. Author and activist @benny__malone talks about his top 5 favourite fallacies we hear when talking about veganism. And later in the episode, I share my top three strategies when choosing to engage with others on the topic of veganism.

Benny says, “Fallacy of the grey or Continuum fallacy. Things like where to draw the line and my favourite: There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. This group of fallacies has a few different names, but they all have to do with imagining a spectrum or a Continuum and the possibility of various positions, along that Spectrum. The fallacy arises through not admitting there are degrees or thresholds where we can meaningfully discriminate between different points, or sections of a spectrum, or continuum”

Thank you Benny for being a guest on my podcast!
