decision to denounce veganism causes them to come out and say that veganism on the whole is dangerous. It’s unfair and disrespectful to all the people who are thriving on a vegan diet. That said, I think it’s up to each individual to explore and decide why they are vegan. Maybe it’s good that key figures in the movement are disappointing their audience because it’s more empowering to find the motives and inspiration within yourself. I really disagree with the cultish mentality of taking on something as important and personal as veganism because some influencer said so. That is dangerous. Be vegan for you! Wish those ex-vegans well. It’s a pity they felt unsupported. Use their spreading of misinformation about veganism as an opportunity to strengthen your commitment to veganism and to advocate more effectively, joyfully and responsibly for it.
