When it comes to healthy eating, it is hard to know just what to believe. Many of the myths surrounding plant-based food come from common misconceptions. False or contradictory information circulates rapidly, making it challenging to keep up-to-date with developments. There are many misconceptions about plant-based diets, which, more often than not, trip us up and keep us second-guessing the dietary choices we’ve picked over time. That’s why it is equally important to get to know what is true and what is false. Let’s learn together.

In this colonized world, it is not a surprise that the world is usually seen through white lenses. Social media, ads, and diets are likely to be recommended by white people for white people. And that is not only problematic but also unrealistic.

The persistent and often ignored whitewashing on today’s mainstream media is currently the provider of information on everything, especially food awareness and eating habits. But how can we talk about food without acknowledging the multiple racially of our world? 

The truth is that we can’t. And if we do, we are most definitely ignoring the existence of racial and cultural differences. A long time ago, George Santayana said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In a moment of history such as these, pledged by misinformation, right-wing politicians, and conspiracies theories, it should not be a surprise when people are clueless about where veganism started. It was not in LA. It is not white.  

The conversation around what veganism stands for has been going on for quite some time on social media. Can a movement with a focus on individualized behavior change the political spectrum? The answer is a simple yes. Naturally, humans are political beings. Therefore, every small action we take impacts our political scenery. 

In Today’s column, we are entering the world of veganism as a movement. We will be talking about the impact of vegan consumption on the environment. Because, how many of you look at veganism as a movement rather than a diet? How many of us use the word “lifestyle” when asked why we are vegans? 

In late 2015, the World Health Organisation released a statement suggesting that red meat was now classed as a carcinogen. They would then go even further and state that eating processed red meat “probably causes cancer”. This announcement was concerning for many people, and I think it answers the central question of this article.

However, I want to help you understand why exactly red meat increases your chances of getting cancer and examine their cause-and-effect relationship. Furthermore, I will provide a few alternatives to red meat to decrease your risk of developing cancer!

A human can be healthy without killing animals for food.

Veganism is more than just a fad. One of the most popular movements of the 21st century, people are becoming vegan for many reasons. The most common reasons behind the change to veganism are for health benefits, the environment, or for the sake of animal welfare. People have grown tired of meat-eating and want something different. In today’s post, we look at what veganism is, its benefits, and why it is a far better alternative to eating meat.
