Giving Back

I've been a student for many, many years.  Though I've been entitled to concessions from the government, and managed to score myself a well paying one-day-per-week job, I've learned to live simply and not spend my money on crap.  Early on I had a lot of trouble not going over budget on food even though I was buying the cheapest vegan food available ( Read more... )

I have a suggestion:

Give me, and people like me, a monthly ethical vegan allowance. I can hardly afford bus fare, and food banks give beans and canned veggies when you're lucky, and are coming up nutrient-deficient in any number of ways. So many organizations have ample funding, and so many people, like me, are being forced to eat crap for economic reasons and are seeing the physical results.

I am dreaming I know... but it's an idea you might try locally?

*bounces around locally* >_>

Star Trek allowance. It's totally legit because they are vegan (well, they eat animal products, but they're replicated, so perhaps not vegan depending on which definition is being employed. Though Voyager has to be at least mostly animal product free because they have replicator rations. I'm not sure what Starfleet crews do when they eat with other cultures though, given their stance that it is cruel and barbaric, you'd presume they go vegan)!
