Are You Comfortable Calling Yourself Vegan?

from The Minimalist Vegan Podcast · host Michael & Maša Ofei

Let’s just come out and say it. Veganism is stigmatised. Yes even in 2020. It’s been a while since we became vegan, so we’re a little out of touch. But every now and then, we see the comments. “Ah, there go those vegans again.” “Those bloody vegans are everywhere.” It’s subtle, but it’s there. We wonder, is this stigma creating a barrier for more people to be vegan? Are people merely not trying a vegan lifestyle on the principle of not being those “people” instead of focusing on the objectively positive reasons to be vegan? In this episode, we discuss the sometimes detrimental brand of veganism and how it’s potentially hurting the movement. Are you looking for more?
