If you turn Vegan, eating wise, & are strict (no cheating) about it, then you will eventually (if you started overweight-obese) will never be overweight-obese, for as long as maintain being a strict Vegan.

Now that I am eating a lot more processed, salted & sugary Vegan foods, revolution for the worst has happen in Vegan eating, when I started it was not Capitalist popular as now. I wonder if I was always wrong, I have always been Vegan thin, genes & always active enough. I leaning towards no, with a lot more processed, salted & sugary Vegan foods introduced into one’s way of strictly eating Vegan would result in overweight-obese Vegans.

What do you readers think?

I am not saying being thin is being healthy enough,

Many years ago I was watching Rising Up with Sonali, as I always do, when she brought on a famous Cali. Chef that converted to Veganism cooking at her restaurants & started investigating how Vegan the food was, she was buying. Only to find that the non-DIY & big growers had no way to provide her the food, without killing other Beings! She is not talking about just pesticides, side effects or intended, but actually taking action to kill them. WOW MOMENT, AS SHE EXPLAINED IT! THAT WAS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LIVED IN A AG., FORMERLY DOMINATED BY FARMERS, AREA FOR 40+-YEARS!
Since other Beings naturally or have no other option eat whatever is grown (if grown indoors, then deprives other Beings ability to have more land as growing a food source), ** the non-DIY & big growers have to kill the other Beings to economically survive **.
I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE WALKED, RAN, BICYCLED & DROVE RIGHT PAST A LOT OF HUGE FARMERS’ LANDS, BARRON OF ANY OTHER LIFE!

If I alone paid for & selected our Vegan foods, I would have made a huge switch & started growing even more food on our own property.

I hope this does not cause anyone to give-up on Being A Vegan, when it comes to food, but instead causes everyone to work to grow their own Vegan foods & learn to cook without the non-DIY & big growers. By the chef, did change from Strict Vegan chef to a chef that is but Vegan & non-Vegan. That is BLANKED-UP!

**Interesting question why has this not rocked The Vegan world & caused serious change? **

On Dec. 3rd, animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg was sentenced to 90 days in jail for rescuing 4 sick chickens from Perdue's Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse in Sonoma County, California. Zoe made sure the chickens, Poppy, Aster, Ivy, and Azalea, got the veterinary care they needed. For this act of compassion, Zoe is now a convicted felon and will be incarcerated at risk to her health, given her serious medical issues. Meanwhile, Petaluma Poultry faces no consequences for leaving sick animals to die or scalding animals alive. Please share the news of this injustice and keep exposing the animal cruelty that the authorities are covering up.

To answer the question of whether the animal rights movement and the veganism movement are the same, their philosophical and sociological differences will be discussed by someone who has been an animal rights vegan for decades. This will include a brief history of the two philosophies/movements and how they intersect today. Understanding whether they have now merged into a single movement or are somehow still separate is useful to understand the dynamics of the current animal rights movement – including tribalism and infighting – and assess how it will evolve in the future.
