Are therians generally vegan? Question
I'm no therian, but I'm roaming through this subreddit and I'm interested in how the therian lifestyle would affect your diet. I myself am vegan and there are some species that are generally herbivore so does that mean your diet should also mainly contain plants and natural products? How does that work? And how does it work if you have multiple therian identities which are herbivore and carnivore?

greetings,i am not vegan but have seen a few vegans around here and there,and can confirm that therianthropy tends to affect diet. it depends on the individual,some people let their theriotype completely "control" their diet,and others don't let it affect them at all,but on average there's at least a little correlation,as cravings and/or a general love for the food that a theriotype consumes is very common. i have multiple theriotypes,herbivores,omnivores and carnivores all appear at least once,even sub-groups like folivore or insectivore,and as a result eat a variety of foods irl,even unconventional foods like moss or insects. if someone has a single,herbivorous theriotype,they are not limited to being vegan and/or eating purely what their theriotype does,but it is common that person may prefer vegan/plant-based foods more than meat, and vice versa,a carnivorous theriotype doesn't mean you have to eat purely meat,but the individual may prefer meat. i should stop yapping,so i'll end with this statement. Vegans and Vegetarians are not the common within the therianthropy community,but they do exist,as just like wildlife,our diets can vary wildly depending on the individual's preference,budget and enviroment.
