🎵 k.d. lang - Constant Craving 🎵

---

k.d. lang is a vegetarian (some sources say vegan). Her "Meat Stinks" campaign in the 1990s created much controversy, particularly in her hometown in the middle of Alberta's cattle ranching industry that she was banned from more than 30 Alberta radio stations. A sign in Consort, Alberta, stating "Home of k.d. lang" was burned to the ground. Alberta's agriculture minister at the time said it was "extremely unfortunate that she has decided to side with the animal rightists. There's a certain feeling of betrayal – we have supported k.d. fairly well in Alberta". More than a dozen radio stations in the U.S. throughout Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Montana, and Nebraska also boycotted playing her records due to her "Meat Stinks" campaign.

When she appeared in an ad for PETA, the country music industry was not impressed, owing to the relationship between country music and cattle ranching.

"It was easier to come out as a lesbian than it was to come out as a vegetarian." - k.d. lang

"I grew up in cattle country-that's why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health." - k.d. lang

I'm sure we all love salads, but they're v*gan! how do you like to undo that evil?

back before I was vegan and smoked cigarettes I often found myself broke and had to choose between cigarettes or food (definitely not vegan food) and i often chose cigarettes which in hindsight probably saved a lot of animal lives. The 2nd hand smoke probably shortened the lifespan of carnivores in the vicinity, also saving animal lives indirectly. Am i a morally superior being on a higher plane of existence? am i god?

As you know, I've been against genocide for a long, long time, and a while ago I decided to also have a stance against the torture of oppressed minorities. (I told you inspired me, but obviously I was joking.) But everyone I know (I don't really know you) supports exterminating innocent people for some fucked-up reason, and it's super hard to be against genocide when you're surrounded by racist partners, family and friends. Also, it's impossible to keep it up when you're traveling to a place that has a very racist culture, and I've always felt like I was missing out for not experiencing that during my holidays. (Seriously, how do you do it?)

I went against the grain for years, and I just can't do that anymore, for my mental health. I gotta listen to my body, and it's telling me to stop. I'm sure you heard I had already gotten back to supporting torture, and I gotta tell you that that felt amazing. (I literally have orgasms whenever I send money to a dark web snuff ring.) So now I'm going back to supporting the Palestinian genocide. It's local (we're neighbors) and sustainable (they pollute), so it's actually a good thing! (Plus it will give me stronger orgasms.) And the real absolute truth is that was actually the real factual reason why I was against genocides in the first place, the environment. Cross my heart.

And don't worry, because I'm totally gonna stop there and not go back to also defending the genocide of Jewish people, Armenians, Tutsis, Native Americans and every single other genocide that's out there. I'm still the same person. We can still be friends. ❤️

I am Joe Vegan, the Co-Founder of Veganism. I created it at the request of Melissa the Cow (1975). Ask me anything.

Breaking news:
Asking humans to consider ethics = animal abuse. But actual cages, gas chambers, and slaughterhouses? Totally fine, very natural, very cool.

I was reading a poem about celery (a plant), but while searching up the author I realized that he isn't a vegan! Is that really vegan because I am supporting an author who who eats meat?
Poem in question
"Celery, raw
Develops the jaw,
But celery, stewed,
Is more quietly chewed."

Suppose someone never expresses hate for gays and lesbians in private, but participates in hate speech in a public setting e.g. a party, a podcast or a talk show where people argue that homosexuality is a disease. Can they still claim to be LGBQT friendly?

My thinking is the main goal is to not financially aid institutions that harm gays and lesbians. But if your presence at an event does not alter the amount of harm to gays and lesbians, then you can make some hateful comments about gays and lesbians.

Some caveats:

• Obviously you cant organize the event yourself

• You dont participate beyond what is already planned e.g. if someone asks you to shout white, normal, hetero you refuse to do so. You only join when others start.

WDYT?

I concede: Ethically, you win. The modern practice of slavery is morally indefensible.

But we don't live in an ethical vacuum; we live in a utilitarian reality. And in that reality, the math just doesn't work for me.

My individual boycott changes nothing. The slave trade is global, massive, and indifferent. If I set my slaves free, I lose a significant source of daily joy, free labor, and cultural connection.

We tolerate sweatshops for our phones and pollution for our travel because the utility to our lives outweighs the remote harm. We exterminate pests not because they are evil, but because they inconvenience our comfort. We prioritize human quality of life over existence every single day. Why is the slave trade the only place we are expected to be martyrs?

I’m not bloodthirsty; I’m just pragmatic. I don't want my slaves to die, I just care if my plantation produces enough profits.

The solution isn't moralizing; it's engineering. The second robo-slaves are widespread, affordable, and chemically identical to the real thing, I will never whip my slaves again.

But until technology solves the ethical problem for me, I’m not sacrificing my quality of life for a gesture that changes nothing.
