minimal vegan

kudos to him that he approached me/us again! 😯

open minded, ready to learn & improve 🤓

in the end he wanted to exchange numbers 🤝

⚖️💚

at the cube of justice yesterday, a man came up to me & gave me 3 minutes to „sell“ him veganism 😳

alright

1. first names? ok

2. I don’t want to sell you anything. ok

but I'll try to rekindle your emphatic connection 2 feeling animals 💁
...
then he said his last convo was with an A-hole 🙈
...

biennial ARA jubilee 🎉

the 1st time I participated at an animal rights demo was 2 years ago against the horse show Cavalluna 🐎🚫

that’s where I’m heading now 🚈 same location 📍

tbh, I’d like to have started sooner to advocate for the exploited, but I was in a bad relationship ❤️‍🩹

kleiner Reminder 🪧🐎🚫

Photo: close-up portrait of a person facing the camera indoors against a plain light wall. Their hair is tied back, and they hold their left fist in front of their mouth, partially covering the lower face. On the back of the hand is a simple black drawing of crossed fork and knife inside a circle. The person wears a rainbow-colored wristband with the partially visible hashtag “#NICEZUTIEREN,” a German phrase meaning “nice to animals.” Their eyes look directly at the viewer, creating a serious, focused expression.

"hate is not an opinion"❣️

nothing tastes as good as living vegan 🖤💚

… Da sie der Forderung leider nicht nachgekommen sind, folgt nun lautstarker Protest während des Publikumeintritts 🪧

Wir protestierten so lange, bis alle Tiershows in Stuttgart Geschichte sind❣️

Illustration auf lila Hintergrund mit der Aufschrift „DEMO GEGEN CAVALLUNA“. Darunter in einem hellen Kasten: „Sa 07.03., 12:30–14:00, Schleyer-Halle Stuttgart“. Links ist ein Megafon-Symbol zu sehen, rechts eine stilisierte Zeichnung eines Pferdes in Grau mit lila Mähne und Schweif. Unten links befindet sich das runde Logo „Kollektiv Tierbefreiung Stuttgart“ mit einem Vogelmotiv.

🪧 Demo gegen Pferdeshow Cavalluna

In der Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle gastiert leider immer noch jährlich die tierquälerische Pferdeshow.

Das Hallen-Duo wurde mit offenem Brief & einer Mail-Aktion aufgefordert, dem Weltweihnachtscircus zu folgen & Tiershows aus ihrem Programm zu streichen. Da sie …

live vegan & frugal, be humble ⚖️💚

Photo of a large wooden bowl on a kitchen worktop with thick, gray-brown wholegrain rye flour and water. In the middle is a lighter, freshly added starter mass. A spoon is in the dough on the right. In the background are a flour bag and a glass of dough scraps on a black hob.

again & again, I find the color difference between the gray wholegrain rye flour with water and the beige, almost rose colored sourdough starter fascinating 😀

the natural yeast not only changes the color, but also the consistency 🤓

Graphic with a black background and centered white uppercase text reading: “I WILL NEVER BE THE REASON AN ANIMAL TREMBLES IN FEAR ON A SLAUGHTERHOUSE FLOOR.” The words “NEVER” and “FEAR” are emphasized in bold.

we cannot prevent all suffering 🤷

but most of us can choose to and stop paying for systematic exploitation of feeling animals 💁

apply the golden rule 🤝
put yourself in the place of the individual animal 🐣
would that be ok for you? 🤔

be just ⚖️💚

to say people are above animals is like
saying tomatoes are above plants 🍅

participated in 2 animal rights activities today

dog milk stand 🐶🥛
cube of truth 🖥️🎭

we reached a lot of people (> 70), gave them food for thought & brought them closer to veganism 💚

personally, I had really good conversations with ca ten people, who thanked me for the info & impulses 🤝

looks good & sounds great 😀🌱🤙

it requires about an order of magnitude more plant calories to “produce animal calories”

this roughly applies to all other metrics

land use (~80:20)
CO2 emissions
water consumption
pollution
…

but most importantly:
feeling beings are systematically bred, fatten up, mutilated, exploited & murdered

Infographic “Global land use for food production” by Our World in Data. Earth’s surface consists of 29% land (141 million km²) and 71% ocean (369 million km²). Of the land surface, 76% is habitable land (HL, 107 million km²), 10% glaciers (14 million km²), and 14% barren land such as deserts or salt flats (20 million km²). HL is divided into 45% agriculture (AG, 48 million km²), 38% forests (40 million km²), 13% shrubland (14 million km²), 3% water bodies (3 million km²), and 1% urban and built-up land including infrastructure (1 million km²). Of AG land, 80% is used for livestock (38 million km²; including 6 million km² of cropland for feed and 32 million km² of grazing land), 16% for crops for human food (8 million km²), and 4% for non-food crops such as biofuels or cotton (2 million km²). Despite the large land use, animal products provide only 17% of global calories, while 83% come from plant-based foods. For protein, 38% comes from meat and dairy and 62% from plant-based sources.

ethics aside for a moment
because it came up

animals aren’t perpetuum mobiles

they don’t magically make more
energy/calories then they ingest

the live, grow, move …

hence, calories from animal products
are inherently inefficient

you buy they die 🐟🐓🐽🐄

Photo: Close-up of the back of a red Skittles candy bag standing on a metallic surface. Visible are the Skittles logo with a rainbow, a barcode, and a vegan certification symbol (sunflower icon with the word “Vegan”). At the bottom, illustrated Skittles candies are shown with flavor labels in German: “Schwarze Johannisbeere Geschmack,” “Limette Geschmack,” “Zitrone Geschmack,” “Orange Geschmack,” and “Erdbeere Geschmack,” along with the weight “136 g.” In the background, slightly out of focus, there is a black loudspeaker with a visible d&b logo in the speaker grille.

anything but healthy 😅
but morally stable ⚖️
and yummy 😋

be nice to animals
by not paying for their exploitation & death
they’ll thank you & you’ll feel better too

they have it so much worse
leave them alone 🐟🐓🐽🐄

for the whole grains I have the freshly baked sourdough bread with rye & spelt flour and crushed flax seeds 🥖

done, tastes delicious, less compact than feared ☺️

uh, almost 2x as big after only 2-2.5 h 👀
thinking about whether I should bake it right away … 🤔

… young. just to be on the safe side, a plate underneath - no desire to clean sourdough out of the fridge if it overflows 😅

to the rye I added wholemeal spelt flour and crushed flax seeds 🌱
