One of the earliest followers of what we now consider a vegan diet was Arab philosopher and poet Al-Maʿarri who abstained from animal products for his health and beliefs on the transmigration of souls and animal welfare.

Whether it’s to reduce their individual carbon footprint, spiritual and/or religious beliefs, for their health, or for the liberation of animals—all are valid. For Isaias Hernandez, a vegan and climate activist from California, a broader reckoning with the how and why starts by learning from our past: “I think veganism first looks to honor Indigenous ancestral knowledge and wisdom, to center cultural-based experiences, and to reconnect with those roots. This has helped me understand what veganism means, rather than just centering a ‘cleaner’ or more ethical diet.” Giving up meat and dairy products has long been interlinked with environmentalism— with authors, scientists, and vegan charities telling us it’s the ‘single biggest way’ to reduce our environmental impact; that being vegan somehow makes you a de facto environmentalist. And there is science to back up these claims. A 2018 study found that if everyone stopped eating these foods, an individual’s carbon footprint from food would be cut by up to 73 percent. And it’s not just carbon emissions that would be slashed—global farmland use could be reduced by 75 percent and an individual’s water footprint could be halved. But asking everyone to give up animal products to save the planet is easier said than done and the notion feeds into a surfacing social justice issue, too. The growing trend of ‘white veganism’ perpetuates the idea that veganism goes hand-in-hand with health and wealth, while erasing Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) from the conversation. The poster children of the movement—the ones with the most followers who, in turn, work with the most brands—are often white, able-bodied people. As Demi Colleen, a veterinary nurse and vegan influencer from London explains, “White veganism is an extension of white supremacy, or at least a tool of it. White vegans’ priority is the top layer of veganism–animal exploitation, but they ignore the socio-economic impact that comes from the movement becoming more popularized. Some white vegans even go as far to compare historical genocides that have affected BIPOC to the workings of the meat and dairy industries.” Hernandez believes that social media has a lot to answer for. “With the centering of whiteness and the marketing of certain food products, the idea of green capitalism is reinforced. There’s no deep conversation of what it really means to be vegan. So, how do we talk about environmental justice and racism and all of these other things that are connected?” He adds that social media does a good job to reinforce the idea that veganism is synonymous with purity because it’s centered around white animal rights activists who have large platforms, yet are less likely to address diversity or be actively involved in anti-racist conversations—while simultaneously telling people to be anti-speciest.
