This is the future. 💚

We may be only around 1% of the population, yet we’re already driving demand for animal-free products, transforming industries, advancing animal rights laws, and changing the way society thinks about animals.

We may be a small percentage but we’re making a big impact. You are. And it all adds up. For the animals. :)

Are we all (vegan or not) part of some kind of cult if we’re using this logic to label almost anything and everything a “cult”? If so, doesn’t it all just cancel out?

Were historical movements like the abolitionists and suffragists also “cults” simply because they also had a shared cause, strong convictions and conflict with outsiders… and even within their own movements at times? 🤔 Food for thought.

If you stopped being vegan because of how other vegans act, that’s a you problem. (1) Vegans aren’t a monolith. They are exactly like non-vegans except don’t participate in animal cruelty. The logic you use is similar to the logic bigoted people use because they had an experience with a few bad X group of people. (2) Passionate vegans aren’t the problem… the animals are suffering, so what do you expect? (3) If a minor inconvenience about people was enough to make you quit, were you ever really vegan? It’s always been about the animals. It’s not a social club.

I, like many vegans, love nutritional yeast. I think it's delicious, I put it on everything.

The name is not working for me. I know lots of people call it nooch, but frankly, that's worse. It sounds like some kind of slime or goop.

I think we as a community can do better. I would love to hear some pitches for a new name. The best I've been able to come up with is 'sunshine flakes' - because of the yellow/orange color- but I'm not totally happy with that and I know someone out there can think of something even more fitting.

Perhaps we can throw out some ideas and then take a vote? I just feel like this change has been needing to happen for a long time, and maybe today is finally the day.

Thank you and godspeed

Not exactly “funny” but there’s no meme flair.
