Horizontal market segmentation is a strategy that allows a company to create and market products tailored to different consumer segments without necessarily changing its core business practices or cannibalizing their own sales. In the context of a large meat producer such as Tyson Foods, this means offering plant-based (or otherwise animal-free) product lines alongside its traditional meat products. By adding a vegan-friendly offering to their portfolio, the company can appeal to conscious consumers seeking plant-based alternatives, all while continuing to invest heavily in, and profit from, the more lucrative animal-exploitation side of their operations.

Veganism @lemmy.ca Jim East @slrpnk.net Veganism as Anti-Colonial Praxis: A Collection of Indigenous Vegan Perspectives
cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/20292793
Direct Link to PDF zine: https://warzonedistro.noblogs.org/files/2023/07/Veganism-as-Anti-Colonial-Praxis_A-Collection-of-Indigenous-Vegan-Perspectives.pdf
Despite the absorption of veganism by the capitalist market - a process that admittingly reinforces pre-existing divisions across class and racial lines - a vegan lifestyle taken to its logical conclusion is fundamentally anticapitalist and anti-colonial. By (re)acknowledging sentience and personalities within the bodies of colonized (animal) subjects, a vegan lifestyle rejects authoritarian relationships based on disrespect for the bodily autonomy of those whose lives have been re-purposed for human supremacist consumption.
This small collection of shared experiences, while reflective of a larger anticolonial struggle, highlights the inclusion of an anti-speciesist, animal liberation.

Rethinking Sapience: The Case Against Speciesism in Animal Intelligence
The question of whether humans are uniquely sapient has long been debated by philosophers, scientists, and ethicists. Sapience—often defined as higher-order reasoning, self-awareness, problem-solving, and moral agency—has traditionally been considered a uniquely human trait. Yet, this view is increasingly being challenged. Research shows that many non-human animals possess remarkable cognitive abilities that rival, or even surpass, those of humans in certain domains. By maintaining the belief that animals “fall short” of sapience, we reinforce a speciesist worldview, one that arbitrarily privileges human intelligence and dismisses the extraordinary cognitive capacities of other species. In fact, when we examine animal cognition more closely, we find that many non-human animals demonstrate intelligence, emotional complexity, problem-solving skills, and memory that far exceed human abilities in their respective

Veganism @lemmy.ca hanging_tomatoes @lemmy.blahaj.zone List of Vegan Communities in Ecuador (South America)
Where can I find a directory of vegan communities in Ecuador?
I'm currently eating a mostly raw vegan diet, and I'm trying to transition to more of a fruitarian diet. But living in Northern Europe, the fruit options here are very limited. I've learned about a few vegan communities in Ecuador that I'd like to visit, but information about them is sparse.
I'm going on a trip to South America soon to visit Ecuador. I've tried googling for "vegan ecuador," but most of the results are just about restaurants. I don't care much for capitalism, eating at a restaurant, or "eco-tourism" (veganism isn't a diet!). I am looking to learn about vegan projects in Ecuador, possibly joining a vegan intentional community there.
But first, to plan my trip, I'd like to get a list of all the vegan intentional communities in Ecuador.
Are there any lists of actual vegan communities in Ecuador?
