Retraction (16 September 2026): VegOut has withdrawn this opinion article. It was published in early 2026 under a contributor byline, Jordan Cooper, that did not identify a real person, and it presented first-person political experience that could not be substantiated. The article was removed from the site in September 2026 without a notice at this address; this notice replaces it. We regret that the article did not meet our editorial standards. Our current standards are set out in our editorial policy.
I voted for Trump's 'America First' promise. His war, ICE raids, and tariffs put Americans last

VegOut launched in 2016 as a plant-based dining voice and has grown into a digital lifestyle publication for conscious living. Our editorial team covers what we eat, how we live, and how we think — from chef-driven recipes and sustainable travel to the psychology of relationships, generational shifts, and emotional resilience. We publish for a readership ranging from committed vegans to the curiously conscious, all united by a philosophy of impact over identity. We're anti-dogma, pro-progress, and we believe the planet doesn't need a few people doing conscious living perfectly — it needs millions of people doing it imperfectly.
