To be at the cutting edge of intersectional trendiness, declare yourself a trans vegan:

Trans veganism is a unique lifestyle that combines two seemingly different movements – veganism and transgenderism. However, upon closer inspection, one can see that these two movements share a lot of common themes, such as compassion, empathy, and equality. Both movements promote a vision of a more just, fair, and equitable world.

Even now, the leftist kooks comprising the establishment present themselves as bold rebels confronting oppression:

At the intersection of veganism and transgenderism, we find that both movements share a commitment to challenging the status quo and the dominant power structures that oppress individuals and groups. Veganism seeks to challenge the animal agriculture industry, which is notorious for its cruelty and exploitation of animals. Transgenderism, on the other hand, seeks to challenge the gender binary and the patriarchal structures that enforce gender norms and restrict personal expression.

Moonbattery is fungible. All forms of it can be applied under the banner of trans veganism, including Critical Race Theory…

[P]eople of colour and indigenous people are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and the harmful practices of the animal agriculture industry.

…as well as the global warming hoax:

By consuming only plant-based products, trans vegans significantly reduce their carbon footprint, which has a positive impact on the environment.

The keystone of hardcore moonbattery is the concept of equity:

By adopting a vegan lifestyle, trans vegans further support the movement for animal rights and contribute to a more equitable society.

Only when the authorities have imposed equal outcomes not only between identity groups but between species will utopia be achieved.

After smugness, the most conspicuous characteristic of moonbats is their poor mental health, which makes this rich:

[T]he ethical and compassionate approach of trans veganism can also contribute to positive mental health.

The reasoning:

By promoting kindness towards animals and the environment, trans vegans can find greater meaning and purpose in their lives, which in turn can lead to greater happiness and contentment.

If their happiness and contentment derive from rejecting a normal human diet and pretending to be members of the opposite sex, it is no wonder moonbats are such miserable creatures. To the detriment of all of us, misery loves company.

When moonbats bark about “separation of church and state,” it isn’t that they want to repress religion. They only want to repress a religion they don’t like in favor of their own. After the 10 Commandments have been abolished from classrooms, they will be replaced:

“The unnecessary violence inflicted on the billions of animals tormented and slaughtered every year in archaic experiments and for food, clothing, and entertainment depends on a simple lack of empathy for others who may appear different from us but nonetheless share humans’ interest in enjoying life without experiencing undue fear, pain, or violence,” writes PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “Displaying PETA’s Ten Vegan Commandments in public schools would be a simple way to promote peace, understanding, empathy, and compassion.”

Rather, it would promote moonbattery.

You would think vegans would shrink from war, considering that they are too squeamish to abide killing animals for food as people have been doing since our ancestors came down from the trees. But they are doing their part for the war in Ukraine:

Ukrainian food and lifestyle festival Vegan Weekend is set to hold its sixth event in Kyiv since the invasion of Ukraine last year.

Founded by Every Animal, a vegan animal rights group in Ukraine, the festival began life after the beginning of full-scale war, and has raised one million UAH (USD $27,350) to date. The organization also looks after the project Vegan Kitchen of Ukraine, an initiative to provide vegan meals to refugees, volunteers, and military personnel, and send vegan rations to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

If Ukrainians have the luxury of worrying about vegan diets, Russia must be less of a menace than we thought.

Across the five Vegan Weekend events in Ukraine thus far, the organizers have seen an average of 600 people attending the events per day. Each event has seen around two-three lectures about vegan topics from local experts, including the history of veganism and plant-based cuisine in Ukraine. There is a vegan food court with three-five vendors, and an outdoor vegan market with 10-15 vendors. Entertainment is on hand, with stand-up comedy from the likes of Ukrainian comedians Vasyl Baidak and Anton Tymoshenko, as well as live performances from music artists and DJs.

Good to see Ukrainians are keeping up their spirits during times so dark that American taxpayers have to pay their salaries.

Meanwhile, in Israel,

While thousands of Israelis have been grilling steaks and flipping burgers for hungry IDF soldiers across the country, the non-profit Vegan Friendly is providing 2,000 hot vegetarian and vegan meals every week to those who steer clear of animal products.

Moonbats apply moonbattery to everything everywhere.

Moonbats who apply their ideology to diet are not going to like this:

In February of last year, the International Journal of General Medicine published a study that was easy to miss, as no major media publication reported on “Total Meat Intake is Associated with Life Expectancy: A Cross-Sectional Data Analysis of 175 Contemporary Populations,” by Wenpeng You and his team of researchers.

As we learned after his bagman’s laptop exposed Joe Biden’s influence peddling to communist China right before the election, the establishment media doesn’t care how much public interest a story might have. The MSM’s only concern is pushing the progressive narrative and suppressing information that debunks it. Liberal social engineers don’t want us eating meat.

The researchers found that worldwide, meat intake was associated with a longer life. “This relationship remained significant when influences of caloric intake, urbanization, obesity, education and carbohydrate crops were statistically controlled.” By contrast, consumption of carbohydrates had a weak but negative correlation with life expectancy.

Hong Kong has the population with the longest life expectancy. Uncoincidentally,

Inhabitants of Hong Kong have the highest consumption of meat and dairy foods in the world, at 500 grams (over one pound) of meat and 281 grams (almost ten ounces) of dairy products per day.

Zhanna Samsonova could not be reached for comment, the vegan influencer having reportedly died of starvation.

On a tip from The Great Cornholio.

At first you might want to burst out laughing at the damage moonbats inflict on themselves. But then the senselessness of the tragedy sinks in:

Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova has reportedly “died of starvation” after subsisting exclusively off a diet of exotic fruit in Malaysia, according to her friends and family. …

The Russian national — who frequently promoted raw foods on social media where she was known to her millions of viewers on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram as Zhanna D’Art — reportedly died July 21 after finally seeking medical treatment during a tour in Southeast Asia, according to local media outlet reports. …

[A] friend claimed that for the last seven years, Samsonova had only eaten the giant, sweet jackfruit and durian, a spiky, mace-like fruit known for its custardy meat and noxious odor.

If only a good Samaritan had force-fed her bacon cheeseburgers, a life might have been saved.

An autopsy is needed to confirm that she died of starvation. Sure looks like she might have.

At least Zhanna D’Art’s demise was self-imposed:

Last year, vegan Florida mother Sheila O’Leary, 38, was sentenced to life in prison after starving her 18-month-old son to death by feeding him only small amounts of fruits and vegetables.

Next time they update the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, they ought to list veganism as a psychiatric illness. Humans were meant to eat meat, as you can tell by looking at our teeth.

“I see my body and mind transform every day,” Samsonova chirped as she led others down her path. “I love my new me.”

As with transsexuals, the first step toward health is a willingness to work with what you actually are.

Ignoring crime as it spirals out of control, New York Mayor Eric Adams turns his attention to meat and dairy products, which according to leftist ideology are harmful to the planet.

“We already know that a plant, plant power diet is better for your physical and mental health, and I am living proof of that,” the mental defective haltingly reads from prepared notes. We can rest our case against veganism now. Maybe the planet wouldn’t mind if he at least eats some bugs; it might help get his cognitive functioning up to par.

Vegans have become accustomed to being catered to obsequiously when they shriek their unreasonable demands. However, that’s not how it worked out for Japan Airlines passenger Kris Chari. Weep his fellow moonbats at Business Insider:

There were two meal services during the flight — the first was a snack and light refreshment served after takeoff and the second was lunch, a Japan Airlines representative told Insider. The snack option for non-vegan passengers consisted of seared tuna with a Moroccan-style eggplant salad, cheese with orange salsa, and a baguette, per the airline’s menu and Chari’s experience.

Chari told Insider he expected to receive the equivalent of what non-vegan passengers were served as a snack, such as a sandwich, salad, vegan cheese, or a baguette.

“Instead, I was served a single banana,” he said.

Also, they gave him chopsticks to eat it with, as if to provide entertainment for the other passengers.

They gave him spaghetti for lunch, but apparently that didn’t suit him either.

Vegans might impose their sickly diet on all of us, because it is more efficient to provide the same meal for everyone. Since they are too good to eat normal human food, we will be expected to eat theirs. Unless of course there is pushback against their arrogant bullying.

Admittedly, the banana was inappropriate. They should have served him a lemon meringue pie — by grinding it in his face as soon as he started yelping about the special treatment he expects for being a vegan.

Moonbattery can make anything worse — even the garbage served at McDonald’s:

The Chicago-based fast food giant is introducing plant-based McNuggets next week. …

McPlant Nuggets __ made from peas, corn and wheat with a tempura batter __ are the second product McDonald’s has co-developed with Beyond Meat, an El Segundo, California-based maker of plant-based meats. McDonald’s has been selling a McPlant burger since 2021.

Next will come hamburger patties made out of insects, in keeping with the agenda.

At least we have a relatively edible alternative, thanks to Chick-fil-A. Oh wait:

Chick-fil-A panders to LGBT bullies and black supremacists, why not to the tyrannical social engineers who want to take even chicken away from us?

Bad news continues to accrue for investors in the synthetic pseudomeat that Bill Gates and the rest of the Davos crowd want to shove down our throats. Impoverished through Biden’s inflation, people are not in a mood to pay more for an inferior product to virtue signal wokeness. There are serious concerns about the wisdom of eating a substance created in a laboratory through gene editing. Now we read that one of the biggest excreters of this gunk is neck-deep in bacteria and food safety violations:

Internal documents and photos from the Beyond Meat plant in metro Philadelphia paint a picture of dangerous conditions with possible repercussions for consumers. …

Purported photos from the faux meat plant — a 45-minute drive on the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Philadelphia — show mold growing on walls, as well as soiled containers used in food preparation.

Plant-based “meats” manufactured at the facility were found infected with the bacteria Listeria at least 11 different times since the second half of 2021…

Nonetheless,

The FDA is yet to make a safety inspection of Beyond Meat’s Pennsylvania facility since the public company acquired the plant…

Being on the correct side politically has its advantages. The Deep State bureauweenies of the FDA are all in for synthetic pseudofood, which pleases the weather gods according to liberals’ weirdly atavistic religion.

Internal plant documents also suggested that inorganic materials like wood, string and metal had been found inside Beyond Meat products engineered at the facility.

So long as it isn’t food, the climate won’t mind if we eat it, so…

…the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture “found no instances of nonconformance with regulations,” hailing Beyond Meat’s food safety protocols in reports that followed March and September plant visits…

The Pennsylvania state bureaucracy produced America’s first four-star “female” admiral, Richard “Rachel” Levine, who used his position as Health Secretary to sentence elderly patients to death by forced nursing homes to accept Covid cases while wisely getting his own mother out of a nursing home. The election of the mentally incapacitated ultraleft loafer John Fetterman to the Senate confirms that there is something very wrong in the Keystone State. An infectious agent far worse than bacteria has seeped out of the pustule moonbattery has made of Philadelphia to sicken the whole state.

Animal rights kooks went wild in New York City on Saturday as part of PETA’s “World Day for the End of Speciesism”:

The animal rights activists were furious that people were eating ice cream.

Not even Joe Biden is enough of a moonbat for vegans.

Outside the Fendi store, protesters spilled fake blood and said the luxury fashion brand had “blood on its hands.” There were also screams of, “50 dead animals for one fur coat!”

No word on how many dead eagles for 1 kilowatt-hour of inefficient green energy.

The crowd demanded a “fur-free NYC” in front of the Louis Vuitton store.

To a moonbat, freedom is a world free of all the things they don’t like.

Outside a McDonald’s restaurant, demonstrators yelled, “It’s not McDonald’s, it’s mcmurder!”

McDonald’s would be wise to run with this in a new advertising campaign. It shares a consumer base with rap, which is well known for monetizing the glorification of violence.

Standing near the front door of the Nike store, animal activists claimed that the colossal shoe manufacturer kills 2 million kangaroos a year.

Then a countermoonbat calmly tossed a wrench into the wokeness:

One man infiltrated the protest and trolled the animal rights activists by eating shish kebab right in front of the demonstrators. Multiple animal activists lost their minds because the man had the audacity to eat meat. The scene became incredibly intense, but the vitriol didn’t stop the man from enjoying his shish kebab.

In a world succumbing to moonbattery, just eating a shish kebab is an act of rebellion on behalf of sanity. Kudos:

In an astonishing example of the projection and gaslighting we have come to associate with moonbats, PETA campaign specialist Ashley Byrne implied that it was the kebab-eater who was throwing a tantrum:

“[I]t’s not unusual for some people to throw a tantrum. It’s nothing activists haven’t seen.

“We are provoking people to think,” Byrne said, “and if that thought makes them uncomfortable good.”

The moonbats became so unhinged precisely because the kebab-eater wasn’t uncomfortable about eating a normal human diet in front of them.

One reason liberal elite types are the only ones who find trendy solutions to nonexistent climate problems appealing is that they are the only ones who would. Another is that they are the only ones who can afford them. Electric cars are one example. Vegan sandwiches are another.

From Britain:

Tesco’s vegan sandwich range has shrunk by 28 per cent since 2019, while Morrisons and Asda have entirely removed their plant-based sandwich options.

People won’t buy them, in part because they cost too much. A “sustainable food alliance” called Eating Better confirms that vegan sandwiches are the most expensive kind.

Nonetheless, vegan sandwiches will help save the planet, because if we stop eating food that tastes good, fewer cows and pigs will be raised and their flatulence will not make it be too warm out, according to moonbat doctrine.

Simon Billing, the executive director of Eating Better, said: “Three years on from our last sandwich survey, and with yet more evidence from climate scientists on the need to reduce our meat consumption, it’s deeply disappointing that the sandwich aisle is still too meaty and that plant-based is too pricey.”

Clearly, vegan sandwiches must be mandatory if we expect the climate to stop fluctuating. At the very least, they must be subsidized by taxpayers.

We face serious crises, but fortunately, our betters in Hollyweird are Good People, and they deign to save our world. Robert Downey Jr does his part by investing in moonbat pseudofood:

Downey Jr. just announced that he is investing in Motif Foodworks – a food tech company working to improve sustainability in the food system.

The “sustainable food system” being created will be “inclusive,” whatever that may mean in this context.

Motif Foodworks developed a heme-binding myoglobin protein called HEMAMI. The company’s proprietary method expertly replicates the texture, aroma, and taste of traditional animal meat using exclusively plant-based ingredients.

Bill Gates would approve.

“If plant-based foods are going to make a real impact on sustainability, we need an approach that’s both delicious and nutritious,” Downey Jr. said in a statement.

He ought to showcase his acting skills by eating some of the lab-grown slime they want us to live off and pretending to like it.

Downey has also invested in a company that fabricates synthetic cheese using soybeans, and another that manufactures an abomination it markets as vegan bacon that is made out of mushrooms — that is, fungus.

Moonbats push artificial food because according to their ideology, meat makes it be too warm outside. So do cars. No worries; Downey has that covered too:

Discovery+ announced the Robert Downey Jr. series under the working title Downey’s Dream Cars on Wednesday.

The show will feature him having his collection of classic cars remade into something less environmentally offensive.

“My goal is to showcase that it’s possible to keep the integrity of classic cars while leveraging new tech and innovation to make them more eco-friendly,” Downey said in a statement.

Just like it’s possible to make bacon out of fungus and keep the integrity of food.

At first, I thought this was parody — along the lines of the Babylon Bee, but more over the top. But no, British soldiers really are demanding vegan uniforms.

From Rebel News:

As detailed by the Telegraph, the newly-formed group in the British Army called The Ministry of Defence Vegan and Vegetarian Network has launched a campaign to institute a new set of policies to empower vegans and vegetarians who enlisted in the armed forces. …

One of the policies proposed by the vegan group is for personnel to wear vegetarian footwear not made from real leather. The move comes after a helicopter technician objected to wearing leather boots in 2019, prompting the Royal Air Force to consider amending its policy.

The British military has already pandered to vegans through its Army EATs campaign, which provides more vegetarian food for soldiers.

Vegan leather is less durable, less economical, and worse for the environment. No matter; this is a religious issue. Vegan moonbats believe that any animal product is unclean.

In an earlier time, similar religious fanatics brought down the British East India Company, which effectively controlled India. It had its own army, which relied on native troops. These tended to be either Hindu or Muslim. Hindus believed the lubrication used on the ammunition they were issued to be made from sacred cows; Muslims believed it to be made from unclean swine.

Via Guns.com:

The imprisonment of Hindu and Muslim soldiers over their refusal to use the offending rounds led to rebellions in almost every Hindu and Muslim regiment in the Company’s Army. Known as the War of Independence in India and as the Sepoy Mutiny in the West, the engagement ran for almost three years and cost the lives of hundreds of soldiers and civilians on both sides.

Though the rebellion was put down, the engagement ended the East India Company’s tenure as a military force. The company itself was nationalized and the British government assumed its operations in India the next year. This spelled the end of the megacorporation and in 1874, it was dissolved.

It would hardly be surprising if the moonbat religion manages to bring down the modern British army.

All things moonbats don’t like are racist. Moonbats don’t like for us to eat meat; they want us to eat larvae, weeds, plastic trash, and synthetic pseudofood instead. Therefore, allowing people to eat meat is racist. All things moonbats don’t like are also misogynistic. Therefore, meat is misogynistic too. All things moonbats don’t like are the fault of white people, so it stands to reason that whiteness causes meat-eating.

Presenting proof in the form of the Oxford Union Vegan Argument — it’s a little long, but Carol Adams keeps the laughs coming:

Remember now, no calling liberal men “soy boys.” That would be “neo-Nazi messaging.”

She didn’t dwell on eating meat making it be too warm outside, because everyone already knows that.
