So this. Thank you posting this article. It is often a neglected aspect to Veganism that frustrates me. The capitalist system is responsible for both human and animal suffering across the world and for the destruction of large areas of the planet that become inhabitable for any living being. Capitalism creates the need for many foods and other products we use in our lives that come from this hierarchy of suffering, just to make profits for a small minority of people. We can make a whole range of ethical choices in our lives and we should apply the same level of care to what we buy outside of the food we eat to build a more sustainable future. As consumers we have a powerful voice and collectively we can make changes to our own lives that will have positive impact on the lives of others, as well as reducing the power of the capitalists who rely on our willingness to buy the products they sell that ultimately sustain a system that creates such uneven suffering to so many living beings.
