has china gone cruelty free?

Has China Gone Cruelty Free in 2023? Okay- there have been a few headlines these last couple of weeks about how brands can now sell in China and be cruelty-free. We’re gonna explore where this news has come from, whether or not we can trust it and what this means for the beauty industry.What do you think the future is for the beauty industry if all the major brands went cruelty-free? It’s such a massive divider right now it’d be wild if suddenly all brands were cruelty-free. Do you think it would crush the indie beauty industry? Susty in the CityHost: Nicole WhittleInsta: www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirlTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirl Contents:0:00 intro 0:53 some background3:34 why is no one talking about this?5:56 has china gone cruelty free?7:21 which brands are now cruelty free?8:08 this is down to US9:04 what’s gonna happen next? 12;31 outroNews Articles: Cruelty Free Kitty: https://www.crueltyfreekitty.com/news/big-news-brands-sold-in-china-can-now-be-cruelty-free/#comments Plant Based News: https://plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/beauty/aussie-dove-cruelty-free-china/Metro: https://metro.co.uk/2023/01/05/beauty-products-sold-in-china-now-dont-have-to-be-animal-tested-18044230/ 

is there space for fat vegans? with luisa-christie

welcome back to susty in the city! today we’re joined by luisa-christie to discuss whether the vegan movement is a welcoming space for plus-sized people.hope you enjoy the discussion! we discuss whether the vegan and eco movements exclude fat people, ponder on why there’s a disproportional lack of larger vegan influencers and also have side-chats on vegan cheese, what happens when you get served meat and the positive side of influencing. to start, let’s just clarify that when we say ‘fat’ we mean someone mid sized / plus sized and we do not consider it a nasty word. we appreciate people may use it with that intent and that is mean, nasty and not okay. but calling someone ‘fat’ has nothing to do with whether they’re sexy, healthy, active, smart, beautiful, etc.  hope you enjoy the episode - really keen to keep the chat open and frank in the comments but anything unacceptably rude will be challenged and/or removed. this one felt quite special! can’t wait to hear your thoughts! x host: nicole whittle  insta www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirl tiktok www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirlyoutube www.youtube.com/veganbeautygirl guest: luisa-christie insta https://www.instagram.com/luisachristie tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@luisachristie vegal gang https://www.instagram.com/vegalgang influencers mentioned:zachary bird https://instagram.com/zaccharybird?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= fat gay vegan https://instagram.com/fatgayvegan?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=yasmin johal https://instagram.com/yasminjohalx?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=gina martin (got upskirting banned) https://instagram.com/ginamartin?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=clare / the little london vegan https://instagram.com/thelittlelondonvegan?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=aja barber https://instagram.com/ajabarber?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=stephanie yeboah https://instagram.com/stephanieyeboah?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=0:00 intro 0:54 the cheese struggle4:31 vegans can be self righteous prats 6:48 vegan ‘meat’ 8:25 have you ever felt excluded from veganism? 11:00 is there space for fat vegans?19:40 why influencers are important 22:42 do eco-brands care about fat customers? 27:59 you can look hot, sexy AND fat 32:50 health issues 38:59 london vs brighton 45:48 do you like to date vegans?48:10 when you get served meat 😩52:58 outro
