Also many meat eaters I've come across think a vegan diet only consists of meat alternatives but they don't think about unprocessed food like vegetables, beans and just all the rest. Also grass, salad, whatever.

I get that! I've never reported comments on here because I love open discussions as long as it's on-topic and based on facts I don't see a reason to report stuff. And seeing a mod in my thread means they already read it so no need to report :)
I'd be willing to do it but need to look into how lemmy moderation works. I guess there must be some kind of admin panel to view reported comments? I've been in the support team from vtlog.net so I know how to handle angry people complaining about sth not working but this would be a new challenge! I'm free this week, but I'm of course working so moderating couldn't happen all day but only in the afternoons and on the weekends.
@[email protected] better? I've only later found out that plastic is actually not that wide-spread in boots as I thought
Plastic is a recyclable material which therefore aligns with sustainability goals. Indeed some companies let customers send in their old shoes so they can be up-cycled. Plastic is a very durable material too! It has a lower impact on the environment compared to animal-based products. Choosing plastic over animal skin also aligns with ethical considerations, as it avoids contributing to the exploitation and suffering of animals for fashion and apparel.
Btw many vegan leather options are made from sustainable and eco-friendly materials, including plant-based alternatives like pineapple leaves, apple peels, and mushrooms. These alternatives often have a significantly lower environmental impact compared to traditional leather production, which is known for its heavy use of resources and harmful effects on the environment.
Moreover, the idea of using leather from animals that have lived humanely and died naturally is not a widespread practice in the fashion industry. The majority of leather comes from animals that are raised and slaughtered specifically for their skin, which goes against the principles of veganism that prioritize the well-being and ethical treatment of all animals.
It is indeed intentionally extreme as it is extreme to me that this occurs. I've literally seen it in videos on youtube. It's not too exaggerated therefore as this happened in the past. Of course I can't prove that's the case for every single piece of leather and that's also not the case. I'm pretty sure more than half of it is not from living dogs, but I've seen it happening and that's why i don't want to have real-leather on my foot unknowingly if it's from a dead animal or not. And even if it's from a dead animal it's not the right choice for me when there are alternatives that don't include animal skin. Does that make sense?
Thanks for helping me out. They drove me nuts
Thanks 🙏
That's exactly the problem. You want to but you don't have the motivation to look up recipes and want to learn how one makes vegan food. I just got 20 and honestly it's not that hard. There are tons of resources available online as well as in books.
