What the hell is going on at @VegNews? They are the most embarrassing part of the vegan community. The number of significant journalistic lapses is staggering. Doesn't publisher @ColleenHolland_ give a crap? Doesn't Senior Editor @bowieVN have a clue? https://t.co/wnl8od5EUt
And yet people like @olivegarden69 who work for certain animal rights groups tell me they are actually directing potential vegans toward the Beyond Burger and putting money into Tyson's pockets. So odd.
Another @TysonFoods recall—this time: metal pieces. But here's the most terrifying ingredient behind chicken meat: cruelty. It's time for Tyson to address this suffering & end crippling rapid growth! Learn more: https://t.co/0CbKYQzoj1
@olivegarden69@kellyshoestring@emilamok@David_Feldman_ I'm not saying that, I don't think it, and I don't mean to imply it. This is your hang-up not mine. I'm using the word "brand" as popularly used in our culture and it is apparently a trigger for you, so I will stop using the word because it is having an unintended effect.
@olivegarden69@kellyshoestring@emilamok@David_Feldman_ Most people didn't know what vegan was until the last few years despite your org being around for decades, so its pretty provincial of you and your org to take credit for it. It was YouTube influencers and celebrities that made most people aware what vegan is, not you guys. C'mon
@olivegarden69@kellyshoestring@emilamok@David_Feldman_ Their message and brand is "stop animal cruelty" and not "go vegan" even though that's part of the mission. People think of them as the "crazy animal org" which is just fine to them since they feel it serves their mission and I've no doubt it does.
@olivegarden69@kellyshoestring@emilamok@David_Feldman_ Like I said before, I give your org credit for plenty of stuff, but if you think your org gets credit for popularizing what "vegan" is then that's some serious insider blindness, for they did not.
@olivegarden69@kellyshoestring@emilamok@David_Feldman_ You're also kidding yourself if you don't think your org is a brand. They're a brand more than anything else, and they live to maintain that brand, even at the cost of animal suffering. #truth
