Why aren't more men vegan? Smashing the vegan masculinity myth

Thank you for having us in to talk about this 💪🌱

I never really did street activism. All my interactions were in fb groups and IG or at workplaces. Most men don't worry about protein, they do but once they overcome the easy step of getting information about macros, their real issue is family gathering and social gatherings that are rarely vegan friendly. Women will likely stick to salads and other low calorie meals and as women people won't judge them as such gender is more prone to dieting and have a more low calories meal.

Good comment. Family get togethers can also be a great way to influence too though. For example we always take home-made vegan cupcakes or something similar to family get togethers to try and bust the myth of what vegan food is and isn't!

Definitely! Use social gatherings and family gatherings as a great place for activism! Show them the reasons for your choices and why you are vegan then show them the amazing food! Its like showing them the truth then showing them what they can do about it 😄🙏🏼🌱

Also great to hear you do activism! Activism doesn’t have to be on the street! Online activism is very effective! Good on you! 👊🏼🙏🏼🌱

We have to face facts - the film and message of Game Changers hasn't really changed the vegan uptake for elite athletes, as I and many other vegans thought it would. For example, how many male premier league footballers are now vegan? How many were vegan before game changers? How many UFC fighters are vegan? I am a committed vegan of over 25 years - but I see so many vegans who look unwell. We need to make sure we are getting enough nutrients, exercise, rest and sleep.

In the gym when we find other vegan guys, all the men have told us it’s because they watch game changers I think it opens a lot of athletes mind to this

[@Untillallarefree]

100% agree with veganmuscleoutreach game changers was MASSIVE for change now it’s up to us as activists to keep driving the vegan message forward 😄 we can do this!!

[@WHPwellbeing]

I think it the film has influenced people for sure - but at the elite athlete level - at the very top of physical performance - most elite athletes are not vegan. After Game Changers - why? Vegan love to all.@@Itsmelandsteve

@@WHPwellbeingI agree more should be vegan 👍🏼 they all should be! There is game changers 2 coming out soon so hopefully that has a very big impact on people including athletes too. I wonder how many athletes are vegan and perhaps don’t mention it?? This is why being a voice for the animals is so important and is our duty as vegans. I think the vegan message is breaking into the elite athlete world but just like the general population it’s not happening fast enough 🙏🏼🌱

[@WHPwellbeing]

Yes indeed! Looking forward to Game Changers 2. @@Untillallarefree

how many animals do you honestly think die from pesticides, rodenticides, avianicides, herbicides and petroleum based fertilizers ( dead zones) … plus the tilling of the soil ( burrows and nests) and wildlife management ( culling of wild animals and exterminating feral/ invasive species) …. Here’s 1 example, California ground squirrels love pecans and almonds when farmers plant huge hectares of nut trees all the squirrels come to feast, traps used to break their necks and poison that can take 5 days to kill them are used to stop them, and then predators like foxes, coyotes, hawks or owls eat the dying squirrels and they get poisoned….. and then turkey vultures or California condors eat the dead predators and they die from poison….
