I am a quiet, tall activist and admitted nerd. I am an almost-vegan. :D

I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!


Happy Vegan Fat-shionistas?
9 months ago
Has anyone ever accused you of not being vegan because of your weight?
Have you ever been singled out or mocked by other vegans for it? Or met a fatphobic vegan?
Have you ever been accused of being an “unhealthy vegan” or just accused of being “unhealthy” based on your weight alone?
Someone told me today that they only “vegans” they had ever known had made fun of them for being fat. But I can’t imagine a fat-shaming vegan, because veganism is about compassion. So I assume it was a “plant based dieter”, someone who eats like a vegan for weight loss purposes but still uses animal tested products and wears leather and fur. One of those people with a 100$ juicing machine and designer sweat pants.
But are there honestly (ethical) vegans out there who think fat is by definition unhealthy?
If so, what could we do about it?
And last question: What’s the best clothing line or online shop for a Vegan Fatshionista?
