Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Hey, that sounds like a great idea! I think the entire reason the AR movment hasn't been as successful as it should be is because of these issues you brought up. Keep in mind that a lot of animal rights activists also believe in human rights, and would never make an issue of race, gender, or social status. We're just a lot of different people who come together to fight for a common cause. But, then, there are larger, well-financed groups like PETA that do exhibit some of these qualities. They frequently objectify women, trying to use sex-appeal to convince the masses that they're doing the right thing, and are willing to attack other cultures because their dietary traditions are considered unacceptable by Westerners, and thus it is a more winnable campaign. There are plenty of people who would probably be involved in AR activism, but wouldn't want to associate themselves with these large groups that use mainstream methods of campaigning, and aren't yet comfortable with the more militant, direct action approach of many smaller groups. This is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed -- I very much look forward to seeing your article! Please let me know if I can be of any help. Also, which publication is this? - Carla Brauer karrotqueen on AIM: Herbivore 4 Life " You must be the change you want to see in the world. " (Gandhi) .... so, what are you waiting for? caft.org | vegan.org | idausa.org | envirolink.org | animalliberation.net | indymedia.org | earthfirst.org | purefood.org | kpfa.org | living-foods.com | projectcensored.org | ran.org | gwbush.com | thehactivist.com | infoshop.org | adbusters.org | primatefreedom.com | bankofamericaKills.com | furkills.org | neimanskills.com - Vegan Kitten Saturday, January 12, 2002 6:37 PM Hello everybody. I am writing an article for an anarchist publication out of Southern California about veganism and how it pertains to race/class/gender privilege. I am coming from the angle that it is very difficult for many people to focus on problems outside of their own lives because of constraints that are put on them. For example, people in the animal rights community wonder why we do not have many people of color among our ranks. From the people I have talked to and the observations that I have made, I have learned a great many things about this issue. The primary one being that white males are encouraged to express individuality, this is why we have so many white males getting into vegetarianism. It is socially acceptable for them to express themselves about a subject and in a manner that is outside of the norm. For people of color who are already outside of the norm and who are punished for that through constant slanderings ! in Amerikkkan film and other forms of media (not to mention immense police repression), it is much more difficult to stand out from society. This holds especially true when they are joining a movement that sees objectification of womyn, racist/culturally biased remarks, and other forms of oppression as being acceptable to bring about victories their cause. I am writing about this partially because I have observed a lot of the following coming from the animal rights community (primarily from more mainstream activists and organizations, but also from more grassroots groups as well): racist/culturally biased stereotyping (in judging of dietary practices of other cultures, especially indigenous peoples), blatant sexism (in portrayal of womyn as well as in male dominated organizational practices), and classism (as can be seen in conferences and get-togethers with mandatory admission prices in excess of $100). It is because of these things that we have so few people involved in animal rights activism... We are forcefully excluding people. To add to this point, I have noticed that many animal rights organizations and individuals involved in these organizations tend to be very much into single issue politics, yet they expect people from other movements to drop what they are doing to help out with AR activism. & ! nbsp; This is why people consider AR to be a " wingnut " movement. Please keep in mind that this is not being written to bash the AR community as a whole, but rather to offer some healthy criticism and hopefully get some people to wake up and realize the problems with our movement (and to change them ASAP!). If anybody has any comments in regards to this subject (on either side of the argument), please feel free to send them to me at BeARobot (Im on my girlfriends e mail right now). Im looking forward to hearing from some of you! Love and liberation! Geoffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 WEll, I wouldnt say I am a left wing, not by any means. Ive only been a christian for five years. Ive been a toaist since 9/9/99. I cant explain what I feel about God, only that he exists, and that hes looking out for me. I never heard him, saw him, or anything else. Until I became a christain, I thought the bible was bullpuckey. I dont think God wrote it, but he did influence the people who did. It was also written a very long time ago to a people who are very different that us. I am not sure how it applies to most of todays situations, but I do find that it holds some good morals and teachings. There are allot of christains who are not like me. When I got babtized I had blue hair and 13 body piercings and two large tatoos! And my preacher was very cool. This was in the states....over here church is allot different and I rarely go. Mainly becuase there arent any non denominational ones, which is the only kind I feel comfortable in... Listen, I smoke gear, I compost and recylce. I have a cat and I am a very laid back type of personality. I have feelings. I dont try to big up my christianity...and I rarely talk about my toaism because I get embarrased trying to put too many labels on myself. If people know I am a christain, a toaist, a veg*an, but yet my best freind is gay, your covered in tatoos and you get high and drink wine...well then youve got allot of people calling you all kinds of things and not really trying to understand who you are...and the whole time they think your trying too hard. ned Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Cardinal Winning at least did a lot for young teenage mums to be and their babies, he made help available for them to feel they had the choice not to abort! I don't know why he had a problem with gays but he might have even saved the lives of some babies who would turn out to be gay! That does not seem like hate to me. Lesley - the pro-life atheist jane easton [jane.easton] 27 March 2002 15:25 hey ned, glad to know you're a liberal christian. i'm not being hostile or attacking you, (the 'invasion') was half a joke cos i didn't know if you were a right wing evangelical or not. you can't blame me or others for being suspicious about christians, as the vast majority have a shitty track record on lots of things, including homophobia. that's not bigotry on my part, just self-preservation based on hard-earned experience. if you are from the uk, you may remember the nasty stuff about section 28 that was whipped up by scottish christians a couple of years ago, including that git who owns 'stagecoach' bus company & also the late non-lamented cardinal whinning, scourge of the gay community. the real result of that was that the incidence of violent attacks on gays rose like a rocket - so much for whinning & co's christian values. and that's just one small example from recent history. so please don't attack me either!! as for me, i wasn't the victim of a physical attack, but the climate at schools at the time was pretty shocking & i walked out of my job cos kids were harrassing me & management were too frightened to do anything cos of the aforementioned section 28. hence my wariness. if you are from the states, just remember people like anita bryant & other gay bashers. christians who were full of hate. scary people. i hope that the above examples have put our minor angers into perspective. but you are obviously not like that - good! i do think i have the right to ask as i want to be sure that i can trust people on this list to a certain degree. i find it interesting that you chose to 'big up' your christianity but not your taoism - why's that, out of curiosity? you say you believe in 'god' - not sure what that means personally - if it's a conscious guiding force, then it don't make sense to me. if it's just a recognition of the energy that breathes us & makes us part of the universe, then yeah. but i don't think the latter would sit down & write down a book of rules. for me, the trouble with the major religions is that they take the essential experience of oneness/life force (that people have experienced thru being in nature , meditation, drugs or whatever), then try to market into a tool of social control. i guess that's why i like buddhism & paganism. despite going to a church of england junior primary school, christianity never stuck. i always found it totally alien, the idea of a dead guy stuck on a bit of wood. just so morbid & non-life affirming. and then, messiahs were ten a penny during jesus's time. everyone is looking for a saviour when their country is overrun by imperialist forces, aren't they? but i guess you have a totally different take on the above, which is fine. whatever gets you thru. btw, i don't think people on this list are trying to hound any newcomers out & i don't think they are full of hate. suspicion, yes - for the above reasons and others. and also anger, cos of the abuses on animals and human beings. it's hard to stay loving when you see a big bully government bombing somewhere like iraq or afghanistan, or know that there are people being paid to torture animals, for whatever 'scientific' justification. like i say, people are just a mass of contradictions... keep writing, stay on the list j ~~ info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remember that the above is only the opinion of the author, there may be another side to the story you have not heard. --------------------------- Was this message Off Topic?

I'd love to hear your's and anyone's stories about how they felt when they first went gluten-free. The article isn't due until December, so we can take our time on putting it together. I'd really like to have a large collection of stories (even just a few lines would be good) from as many people as possible about how they felt after going gluten free. I plan to post my request for stories on celiac.com, but this list is especially on topic because of the connection to veganism as well. Deborah why am I not surprised???? You're brilliant Deborah - keep it up!! I'd be willing to offer my story for ya if you want. Maybe over email would be more appropriate than on this list - unless everyone wants to join in on the discussion.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hi Don, It took me a long time to find soya milks that I liked. The fresh soya milks that you buy refrigerated are the best in my opinion - especially Alpro. Good enough to drink by the glassful and wonderful on cereal. I don't like sweetened milks, especially in tea. Of the non-fresh soya milks I find the Alpro (aka Provamel) unsweetened one the best. Doesn't tend to curdle in tea either. Never found one that worked well in coffee so I now drink it black. rice milk tastes alright, but the ones I've tried have been kind of thin and watery, and don't colour your tea much. A bit off-putting! I think coconut milk would make your tea taste very strange, but it might grow on you ...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Hi, Gayle! Could you please respond to me with your personal email address. My email is ayiti_cherie. I have a few questions for you and I am interested in talking to a long term vegan such as yourself with older kids who were vegan from birth. Thanks! - Gayle N-F Monday, April 14, 2003 10:20 AM Hi all, I don't think I've taken the time to introduce myself to the group, though I have been enjoying the postings. My name is Gayle and I live in Florida. I have six-year-old quintuplets (3 girls and 2 boys) whom have been vegan since conception. I have been vegan for about 31 years. My husband tried to be vegetarian before we got married and even a few years into our marriage but then became a closet omnivore. Just within the last year has he been up front about eating animal products (though I've known for some time - just waited for him to tell me). This causes a few problems between him and the kids, but at six-years-old they understand that some people do eat animals. They don't know any other name for meat products other than what they are, i.e. dead cow, dead pig, dead chicken, etc ... My DH is understanding enough to cook his food on the grill outside since he knows I get sick at the smell of burning flesh and don't want those products in my pots and pans. Overall, I can't complain. Anyone else out there with non-vegan/vegetarian spouses? What do you do? How do you handle it all? I saw a great recipe on this list for a vegan mac 'n " cheese " using nutritional yeast (yum! I love nut'l yeast! My kids eat it straight out of the cannister.). I tried the recipe the other day and loved it. Two of my kids loved it, the other three did not. They took " no thank-you bites and politely refused opting for peanut butter sandwiches instead. Hmmm! Go figure! LOL I think this is because I've been making it a different way. I use cooked pasta (any and all vegan varieties), drain it, then put olive, canola, safflower - whatever kind of oil I'm in the mood for or have on hand, or a non-hydrogenated vegan margarine (i.e. Earth Balance) on the pasta, then sprinkle with a generous amount of nut'l yeast and some sea salt and garlic. My kids LOVE this. I've tried it with other additives (one of my sons and I love it with basil) and the same two that like the other recipe always love it, but with the other three its always a crap shoot. All but one of them like to have tomato sauce added to it also. For anyone not sure of what to do with nut'l yeast, Joanne Stepaniak has a cookbook out called, Nutritional Yeast Cookbook : Recipes Using Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula Flakes, that came out in 1997. It's a great cookbook and I find that I use it frequently. There's a great recipe in there for crackers that I never can make enough of. They are gone before I can put them in a tin and in the pantry. I guess that saves on shelf space! LOL I'm glad to be on this list. In the short time that I have been on it, I have found it to be a great list and quite beneficial. Thanx!

Thank you for letting me post this....and if you are so inclined, kindly offer up a little prayer. Thanks again, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first is the homepage of a Dogs in the City list I run (all doglovers welcome to join); the second is my homepage (everyone welcome to peek).
