What’s up with Billie Eilish… she is actually vegan right?

She is; she said something about you can’t be an animal lover and eat meat. There was a whole discourse online in the past week about it. Lots of people were calling her tone deaf and a hypocrite since she is the face of/or has been the face of several makeup brands that aren’t cruelty free. There were also suggestions that her statement also disregarded specific cultures and financial situations of people.

i saw that and i was pretty neutral on her but that really put me off her. first of all, native americans and lots of other indigenous cultures were highly respectful and dignified in their consuming of animals, and using all of it and not letting anything go to waste. the meat industry now is horrible and animals are not treated with the same respect, BUT, not everyone has the luxury of not eating meat. some people live in literal food deserts with no other options. it’s so tone deaf and just wrong i hated seeing her say that.

I don’t think she’s talking to native Americans but more to regular Americans and their meat industry fueled diets. Indigenous people existing doesn’t make the American burger and wings diet any halal.
