Question Any other (Ethical) Vegans in here?

If so, hi (Ethical) vegans! Also, I'd like to start a weekly check-in for us if there's any interest. I know I find a check-in helps me stay motivated, and if I could do it with some other (Ethical) vegans would be nice

Melissa

(The "Ethical" distinction is so I'm not misunderstood to be promoting a diet. I'm only vegan for the animals, and would like to find others like me... if there are any!)

Good luck, that's a tough one as diet talk is taboo here.

Thanks! I know it's a diet-free zone, that's why I'm looking for the "I just love animals vegans" and not the "I want to be 75 pounds by eating nothing but celery vegans."

I am supportive of this, although I think you will have to monitor it carefully. I remember how the No Kids Checkin (not really the name, but that's basically what it was) went down in flames because of how some ideas were expressed there. I am not an ethical vegan; I love cheese . But I see myself going down this road eventually, as Tiny Bubble is starting to realize where the meat comes from.

I'm not a vegan but I love animals! I'm sure you could find forums elsewhere online for the topic.

I don't think this type of checkin could be maintained within VF guidelines due to both the diet focus and the strong potential for political talk.

You might consider creating a Facebook group or something if you'd like to discuss that sort of thing with a like-minded group of VFers.

Or see if there are any in the VF Cupboard FB group!

Well, the cross-section of vegans/fit vegans, and vegans-who-use-exercise-videos seems non-existent, so I thought I'd try the cross-section of video exercisers and video-exercisers-who-are-also-vegan, though that doesn't look very promising either.

Oh well, I will look elsewhere. Thanks to you guys who chimed in with supportive and helpful comments, much appreciated!

I am not vegan, but maybe try the McDougal forums on Facebook?

I am! But I understand that it is hard to do on VF. Perhaps check out this Facebook group:
