  1. Vegans should stop promoting foods with ingredients from lands in which the spread of agriculture is causing the large-scale destruction of tropical rainforests and other natural ecosystems, extermination of plant and animal species, genocide against indigenous peoples and murders of activists, such as quinoa, coconut, bananas, avocados and the like.
