You know what hurts the earth more than native people who eat meat?

Pretty much everything.

To name a few:
- palm oil, quinoa, and soy farming
- commercial farming that depends on racist labor practices
- pet cats
- colonial occupation of native land https://twitter.com/vegantherobot/status/1290177142010064897">https://twitter.com/veganther...

From @krystalline_k & #39;s article:
[Elder Atla] shakes her head, "We live in a circle. The reindeer die and we consume their flesh and when we die, they consume our bones." https://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/vegan-challenge/2014/04/indigenous-fight-against-colonial-veganism">https://rabble.ca/blogs/blo...

Pushing past the narrative that some cultures have to eat meat because that& #39;s what& #39;s available, every colonized person deserves food security and food sovereignty.

"Security" includes preference & dietary needs.

"Sovereignty" includes culturally appropriate sourcing.
