An agreegan is someone who agrees with veganism but has looser rules for themselves, so they are technically not vegan. An agreegan will have a mostly plant-based diet, preferring vegan food when available but have their own exceptions unique to life style, social dynamics, availability and avoiding food waste. Agreegans tend to admire the dedication of vegans and support the vegan movement but are less strict on themselves and may disagree with some minor aspects of veganism.

Agreeganism is a philosophy that acknowledges that now that we are in the 21st century, vegan principles are extremely important and ethically correct. This is primarily due to the atrocious conditions of factory farms and the environmental cost and destruction animal products cause compared to plant-based products. Agreegans value awareness and personal responsibility over the ignorance is bliss mentality of the masses and the standard American diet.

There are no passengers on spaceship Earth. We are all Crew.

What we buy and eat has the biggest influence on the world than anything else we do. It is the single most important way we influence our health, the environment, other sentient beings and our spirituality. Therefore what we choose to eat should be in alignment with our personal belief of what kind of world we want to live in. Agreegans and vegans share their beliefs with others because we are all in this together. Consuming animal products is such a destructive act with victims, so it's something that effects us all.

The Meatrix This is an important movement of our time because of the devastating health, environmental and ethical destruction caused by the ignorance of eating a standard American diet known as carnism. Now that we live in the 21st century where we have access to scientifically research nutritional information stating that a plant-based vegan diet is more healthy than a carnist diet, an agreegan diet provides a way to escape the ignorance and mental cage known as the Meatrix, without the level of sacrifice and strictness required to be vegan. The animal agriculture industry has spent billions to create a false image of meat and dairy that plagues our society. Agreeganism is the declaration that the individual is aware of this and is taking steps to reject carnism and animal agriculture. By doing so an agreegan makes a positive stand for their health, society, the animals, the environment and the world.

The 7 Precepts of Agreeganism

  1. I am Sacred (Spirituality)
  2. All Life is Sacred (Veganism)
  3. Not All Life Experiences are Equal (Acknowledging Hierarchy)
  4. I Choose What I Like (Growth Mindset)
  5. Teach by Example (Be the Change)
  6. Be Agreeable (Uplifting and Curious)
  7. Celebrate Freedom (Inclusiveness)

There is No Going Back to Being Ignorant of Animal Products Once You Are Aware

Revelations and growth that happen when you expand your awareness are often expressed by saying "I could never go back to the way I used to be." That's a characteristic of choosing a plant based diet through spiritual and ethical awareness. The mentality required to go back to buying overt animal products would be uncomfortable and disturbing.

Animals are Here With Us, Not For Us

It's a simple mentality change that our society is behind on: Using animals as a resource has created so much sickness in human society, from pandemics and obesity, to climate destruction.

People who are anti-vegan and pro-meat are not aware of their limiting beliefs. People who don't share their limiting beliefs see through their mental inadequacies.

Is it Wrong to Steal Because it's Illegal or Unethical?

Imagine you lived in a community where stealing from others is legal. It's also considered socially acceptable to take from others if you are cunning enough to do it. If someone steals from you, you are allowed to retaliate or steal it back, But if they get away with it you cannot use legal action against that other person who you can prove stole from another. Society accepts it as the way the world works: You get what you can get.

Processed Meat is Directly Linked to Colo-rectal Cancer

The Statement "Meat causes cancer" is a bit of an overly simplified statement, that upon closer evaluation is correct on it's own, but there are other factors that seems to effect it such as smoking, lack of exercise, and how much fiber is in the diet. Like most topics to do with the human body,

Vampires Require Animal Blood, Humans Do Not

Canine Teeth For Kindness

Humans have 4 extremely small canine teeth, much like other herbivores. The human mouth is not designed for biting or ripping flesh.

Why Facts Don't Convince People (and what you can do about it)

  1. Relate to the person who you are trying to convince. Let them know you're in the same tribe as them. Find common ground. Be friendly.
