Retraction (16 September 2026): VegOut has withdrawn this opinion article.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 and is dated to the earliest archived capture of the original article (2 April 2026) so that it does not appear as new content. 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.
