| Description | This chapter examines the intersections and alliances between disability and animal activism with a focus on food politics and veganism. In Section I we explore some of the links between veganism and disability in order to argue for veganism as a crip identity. In Section II, we take up the critical disability studies literature on universal design to argue for veganism as a default practice of inclusion demanded by social justice. Importantly, we do not primarily make this argument anthropocentrically; although we argue that providing exclusively vegan food is the surest way to accommodate the most humans, more importantly we argue that it is also the surest way to keep the planet accessible for billions of nonhuman species. In Sections III and IV we consider the implications of this argument for two areas of practice: Section III explores accommodation legislation, focusing on the Canadian province of Ontario's Human Rights Commission, and Section IV discusses campus catering. Finally, in Section V we consider the politics of food within the disability community. Book Name: Disability and Animality |
