OMG! Vegan Memes Are Up Nearly 7,000 Percent

Joe Loria April 11, 2017
Vegan memes are an internet craze, according to a report by Konbini.
Through a trends tool on meme website me.me, Konbini found
that use of “vegan had increased by 6,930 percent since January 2016.
Writer Lydia Morrish explains:

Some people
regard memes as silly images with a bit of text and no
substance. But actually, these seemingly dumb visuals illustrate areas of
society in often profound ways. Memes are significant in public
discourse surrounding politics, pop culture and even mental health. And
no matter how much we play down the sharing of hundreds of thousands of these
basic, pixelated but charming creations, memes highlight important shared
cultural moments for the internet generation and beyond.

Last year The
Guardian
highlighted the exponential growth of veganism among
teenagers. Profiling several vegan teens, the author concluded that animal
protection, sustainability, and improved health largely motivated them. Not
surprisingly, many were exposed to vegan messages on social media sites, such
as Instagram.
Social media and tech play a big role in the spread of ideas.
Veganism is no different. In fact, sharing factory farm footage is an important
way to help farmed animals, as many people are so far removed from where their
food comes from.
So what are you waiting for? You can help create a vegan
world by sharing some of Mercy For Animals’ most powerful investigative
