Resumen de Mainstream Veganism. An Obstacle to Animal and Social Rights Movements
This article argues that theform of veganism, referred as mainstream veganism in this article, that is advertised today and that is popular among vegans,has very little implications in nonhuman animal rights activism. Moreover, not only does it not concern itself with nonhuman animal welfare, it also produces a negative effect on the efforts of nonhuman animal activists. The vegan food industry, as part of the capitalist market, lacks nonhuman animal rights expertise and is corrupted by sales-obsessed enterprises. In their attempt to maximize profits, they turn to sexist and fatphobic marketing strategies whichwith the help of media influence translate and shape the views of the vegan communities. The main target groupof mainstream veganismis high-class Westerners, which limits the size of the vegan communities while financiallyrestricting the lower classes to participate in nonhuman animal rights activism.
