Almond milk was frequently referenced in 13th- and 14th-century recipes in Baghdad and Egypt. To this day, cultures around the world practice techniques and traditions for making non-dairy milks. The scrutiny surrounding the health or legitimacy of plant milks is rooted in fear-mongering by the dairy industry and MAHA propaganda. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b67f8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b67f8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, of course, another reason to avoid consuming animal milk is the devastating environmental impact of the dairy industry.

They make claims that eating \u201cclean, unprocessed foods\u201d will change your life\u2014giving you a glow from within, a smaller waist, more energy, and smoother skin. The thing is, the basis of almost all of their claims relies on marketing terminology that has almost no scientific or legal definition. Almost everything we consume is processed! A processed food is anything we eat that has been changed or altered in some way from its natural state.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c027f16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c027f16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many of us vegans, health is not at the center of our philosophy for choosing to live and eat this way. Of course, there are endless science-backed health benefits of reducing one\u2019s \u201cmeat\u201d and dairy intake. But the idea that consuming animals, eggs, and dairy is inherently \u201cgood and healthy\u201d compared to being vegan is entirely built on assumptions and dairy industry propaganda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d9025c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8d9025c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, social media has the power to shape people\u2019s daily habits, food choices, perspectives, and worldviews. It is designed to generate feelings of FOMO (fear of missing out) and self-comparison, so when a new trend comes along, there is pressure to join in. We need to remember and emphasize that veganism is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a trend, and it certainly isn\u2019t going anywhere. Cultures around the world have had plant-based foodways for centuries.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vegan movement at its core is not just about money or health or trend. It is an inclusive movement centered around collective liberation, and not one based on fear mongering, false health claims, and shaming. It is critical that we collectively resist the continued normalization of consuming dairy and continue to speak up for animal rights, community health, and the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"qtranxs-available-languages-message qtranxs-available-languages-message-es\">Disculpa, pero esta entrada est\u00e1 disponible s\u00f3lo en <a href=\"https:\/\/foodispower.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45213\" class=\"qtranxs-available-language-link qtranxs-available-language-link-en\" title=\"English\">English<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my efforts to curate a happy, positive vegan bubble, I have not been able to escape the massive increase in content promoting dairy that seems to have taken over social media over the past few years.
