We wont tell JoJo to leave (get out) but we will recommend she stops giving news media the bait to make her a phoneyvegan figurehead.

PETA was quick to promote the pop-singer as their latest vegan poster child, sharing her mere mention of veganism in an interview about her 2017 world tour. JoJo herself starts that same interview by mentioning her interest in a plant-based diet and the positive effects removing dairy had on her vocal chords and allergies. But its revealed that JoJo has a vegan friend, has read Russel Simmons Happy Vegan, has tweeted about vegan scones before, and has a strong enough internet connection to stream the plethora of vegan documentaries (and their own mixed messaging). But we know interest in the trendiest bits of veganism doesnt make someone a vegan. Can you imagine our numbers if it did!?

Fault Magazine and TV3 didnt forget to include her Im by no means a perfect vegan bullshit, even if they kept vegan in their headlines for the clickbait. So when that JOJO IS VEGAN headline is at the top of the vegan google alerts thread, just a little more confusion gets sprinkled over an already confusing movement that almost perversely clings to the hopes a teen idol will be the key to making the world a better place. Not the clear education and understanding of fundamental rights or the need for freedom from exploitation thats not catchy enough and you cant photograph it in lingerie. And dont worry, they made sure a little bit of vegans think they have to be perfect was smushed in there to keep the non-vegans pleased.

So while we do hope the accessibility of information and her own ease and enjoyment of eating plant-based can be leverage for a legitimate vegan education, we wont be looking to JoJo for sage advice on behalf of our animal brethren anytime soon. Until she is shown the morality of refusing animal products, and considers the victims instead of the alleged choices we face, JoJo will be just another Ricky Gervais, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Beyonce.

You can go vegan today, without the help of a celebrity.
