Myth # 39 : " Veganism discriminates against minorities ."
While going vegan does pull the plug on supporting an industry that primarily employs poor people of color , and while the principle of veganism would indeed be difficult to immediately employ in the very few regions of the world where people are actually starving due to inadequate agriculture , this in no way means that veganism discriminates against these people . Indeed , the opposite is actually true , as a vegan environment would actually provide far better jobs to the workers currently suffering in slaughterhouses , and veganism would actually provide far more & far healthier food to those currently suffering from a lack thereof .
Besides , if the issue truly is discrimination , then non-vegans have no fingers to point , for they are the ones doing the actual discriminating – against the millions of animals that their choices cause to be enslaved , abused , and murdered every day .
Current status of this Myth : Ousted Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
