One of the strangest things I have noticed lately is that we have all the means to the solutions of humanity problems and people who like to frame some of those pieces to a puzzle as 'white culture' who still name the problems but refuse to take act after a puzzle part of a solution. The weirdest is framing veganism as 'white culture' meanwhile veganism has its roots in Asian culture, modern veganism take a lot of it roots from Hinduism & Buddhism. Next to the Israeli veganism boom in the late 2000s. Which is a middle-eastern country. And contrary to popular believe 20% Arab 80% Jewish, with most Jewish family coming from Arab countries in 1954. Back to the Hindu, Jainism & Buddist, in ancient philosophy schools forbid the consumption of meat and sometimes animal products all together was forbidden. Jainism being the example of forbidding it all together, the non-violence approach of the religion made farming animals for products as milk near impossible.
And problems like having 6 chickens to feed per human aren't something that you can completely call an inherented problem of western culture. It is simply false that most Asian countries just like African aren't a contribution by this. The domestication of chickens is a worldwide thing. In Indonesia and surrounding (occupied) area's Telor (bahishi for egg) is still a popular product. This wasn't brought there by the colonizing Dutch. Pretending that farming is white thing to do is absurd, it's also a rewrite of history. Around the scriptures of different people around the world we find farming and it grew into factory farming in most cultures.
Modern veganism
Modern veganism has a focus on animal rights & factory farming. Yet it's not only about that. It remains still that non-violence principle we saw in the ancient religion of Jainism. It hasn't only found it's way to veganism but also to libertarianism & anarchism. Modern-veganism often seems like to be caught up into 2 schools of veganism sharing one thing. The simple principle of don't exploit animals. Now there is a more libertarian/anarchist school based on the NAP to all non-human animals and humans. And there is a more collectivist political route, the last school often include Marxist and intersecationalist thoughts. Both often have different approaches in veganism and how to improve the world. But shared efforts are also made. Dominantly in the free-market where vegan products rise-up with the day. But also outside the realm of trade with basic science both simply prove, veganism is a solution to more problems than animal rights. For example, world hunger could be a problem solved by not feeding such an extensive amount of farm animals. We could also decrease water shortages by not having to feed this animal they need to drink but they also need to be cleaned. Scientist including UN researchers have proven time and time again that also the pollution or the impact we as humans make is highly due to our activity of farming animals.
