unknowable woman: Yes, "I just love cheese" is a perfectly acceptable reason not to be vegan.

unknowablewoman:

Alright, Tumblr vegans. Since I’m unable to physically smack y’all upside your nasty dreaded heads, you get this rant instead.

I want to talk about food choices.

If you’re not totally clueless, you’re probably already aware of the classism and racism inherent in the “EVERY1 CAN BE VEG*N!!1”…

this is a really good read for people who are vegan and don’t understand what it’s like to struggle with disordered eating. it’s difficult or impossible to impose those kinds of restrictions on yourself when you already have disordered eating habits, because it eventually just makes things so much worse.
