A vegan woman says she gets trolled for her strict diet — but she couldn’t carrot less, she’ll keep avoiding animal products.
Roxanne, who goes by @plants_and_rox on TikTok, regularly posts videos to her page detailing the struggles of following a vegan diet, including lack of food options and dealing with judgment from others, The Sun reported.
Earlier this year she posted a video with over 350,000 views sharing some of the comments she gets from people who can’t believe she doesn’t eat meat.
At the start of the video, she poked fun at those who call her “extremist.”
“ ’Veganism is extreme’??? This doesn’t make sense!” she wrote in the video caption, later pointing out the lack of logic from some of her trolls.
The text over her video read: “Kills a dog = psychopath, Kills a pig = no worries, kills nothing = extremist.”
The comments section of this video was also flooded with harsh criticism from viewers.
“What about germs and bacteria? why is their life worth less? who are you to set the drawing line?” one said.
“As long as I don’t see it happen or kill it I will eat it because I can’t change back time to save it,” said a third.
Others called her critics bananas.
“So true, I got so freaking many comments bc I went vegan. Some family members forced me to eat a dead animal,” someone wrote.
“Like vegainstrengh once said: switch the word vegan’ with ‘being nice to animals’,” another shared.
“Extreeeeeeeeme… nice to animals ,” a third chimed in.
In another video, she shared that people often judge her by saying, “Vegans think they’re better than everyone.”
But Roxanne admits her problems go beyond people’s comments. The lack of available vegan options sometimes leaves her so hungry she “hallucinates,” according to another TikTok she posted last month with over 1,000 views.
“POV when you start hallucinating because the only vegan options on the flight are a banana and alcohol,” read the text over her video.
“Sometimes we can get some tiny pretzels,” the hungry content creator wrote in the caption.
“This is hilarious…and accurate,” someone wrote under her video.
“no bc last time I was given PRETZELS that had milk in them. wouldn’t even trust the damn peanuts anymore,” another lamented.
Hunger is no laughing matter though. A vegan raw food diet influencer named Zhanna D’Art died of suspected starvation last month. She was 39.
