The People in Mississippi have had a republican trifecta since 2012 and Trump won every single county, they voted for all of this to having the lowest life expectancy, highest obesity rate, most corporal punishment in schools, lowest passport ownership rate, lowest ev registrations per 100k, lowest hdi number, second least competitive for doing business.
If you support promoting veganism, then you should support promoting it to everyone regardless of political or cultural background. Do you think your post helps promote veganism to people from Mississippi or similar states???
I find your post divisive and offensive. I suggest you take it down.
While that is true that we should push for veganism in a nonpartisan way, the research has shown that the more education the populace has the more likely they’re to go vegan and Mississippi comes in last with education with one of the least high school graduates, bachelor degree graduates and advanced degree graduates.
Not to mention veganism is the most appealing to leftists then centrists then conservatives. Oregon is considered the most progressive state on issues and also has the highest number of vegans percentage wise. It’s definitely correlated.
However, you did not put any of this in your original post. Your original post associated geographical location with being right or wrong, with no explanation as to what you may have meant. The post is discrimination violating rule #1 of this community.
If you wanted to discuss education or politics and veganism, you could have posted your comment above or any other good-faith discussion.
No more, or less offensive than promoting veganism, in general, to an evolutionary omnivore species.
Since “Mississippi” is simply a delineation of public policy, microculture, and specific social norms, why should it be exempt from criticism?
Any “good-faith” argument starts and stops with both parties having the ability and willingness to admit that they are wrong.
If we examine Mississippi vs its peer group, we find:
Health: Mississippi has the lowest life expectancy in the country, at 71.9 years. It also has the second-highest obesity rate, the highest rate of inactivity, and the second-highest cancer death rate. Mississippi also ranks low in health care access and affordability.
Education: Mississippi ranks 30th in education.
Family well-being: Mississippi ranks 50th in family well-being, and is considered the worst state in which to raise a family. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the country, at 15%, and the fifth-highest separation and divorce rate
No more or less offensive than https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi. It’s no more discrimination than being against the Russian, Chinese, or Israeli governments are Russophobic, Sinophobic, or antisemitic. The outcomes that Mississippi as a state enjoys from its policy choices are predictably bad, and yet have been continuously reinforced in their policies to date. That doesn’t mean all Mississipians are worthy of spite or are poorly educated, but the state of Mississippi as an entity has earned its place in this meme as a stand-in for a political backwater
In your post, you do not reference politics in any form. You reference adoption of veganism, which is a personal choice, in the context of your post means you are refering to Mississippians as individuals.
I maintain your post is offensive and discrimatory to individuals!
Also, I am well aware of that adage and the status Mississippi holds. It is my culture in fact, and I do not need that explained to me.

What does any of that have to do with being vegan?
