Jackfruit is not veganism. No vegan is eating jackfruit regularly nor for long. It’s an exotic fruit with a trick of being similar to pulled pork in the right circumstances. It’s something some vegans chose to eat from time to time, “to scratch an itch.” Daily vegan calories are going to be from nuts, berries, other produce, grains, and legumes. The US produces vast quantities of all of those.

It bothers me when a fundamentally nonviolent movement is maligned as wasteful, inefficient, or dangerous.
