‘Health is a privelege, not a virtue’
hEAltH iS A pRiviLEge
Veganism gaat over dierenrechten.
Jammer genoeg is er heel veel ‘healthisme’ in de beweging, wat bijdraagt aan de exclusie van chronisch zieke vegans (en non-vegans ook).

QUOTES – Emma Green (via medium.com)
“Healthism has become pervasive over the past several decades. It has begun to permeate mainstream veganism, which has come to be predominantly represented by thin, white, able-bodied, middle-class women. Concurrently, eating a “whole-foods, plant-based diet” is positioned as the ultimate embodiment of health, purity, and morality.”
“Treating health as an individual responsibility also means that vegans who experience illness, physical or mental, can feel as though they are letting the movement down.”
“Veganism is not about health, it is about ethics.”
“Rather than promoting and celebrating diversity, healthism within veganism reinforces mainstream ideals health and beauty as well as the patriarchal, racist and capitalist systems that maintain them.”
“Positioning veganism as a way to achieve optimal health is hugely misleading, and can easily be dismantled.”
