Sadie Sink and Her Vegan Life
Sometimes I think about the choices that shape my life as a woman and why I refuse the systems that try to control our bodies. As someone who follows the 4B movement, I question dating, marriage and childbirth inside patriarchy. Sadie Sink inspires me a lot in my journey. She has shared in interviews that she became vegan as a teenager, after spending time with Woody Harrelson and his family during a film project. They introduced her to plant based living and she started learning more about animal rights and the environment. She has said that veganism feels natural to her because it matches her values, empathy, kindness and responsibility for the planet. Even though she is young, she uses her platform to normalize caring choices and I respect that deeply. When I hear her talk about empathy and responsibility, it feels honest and gentle. She doesn’t shout or preach. She simply chooses compassion.
For me, veganism connects to feminism because both ask the same question: who is being used and for whose benefit? In animal farming, especially with female animals, bodies are controlled, reproduced and treated like tools. I see a painful mirror of how women are pressured to give our labor, our love and our bodies to society without real choice. When Sadie chooses veganism, I read it as quiet resistance, a way to say “I do not want to support suffering”. This energy feels very close to the 4B values. It reminds me that autonomy isn’t cold or selfish. It can be soft, caring and ethical.
Sometimes people say veganism is dramatic or unnecessary, especially for women. But choosing compassion isn’t weakness, It’s strength. It means living in a way that matches our values, even when others don’t understand.
I also know not everyone can change their diet easily and I don’t judge anyone. But Sadie’s example shows me that when we do have a choice, we can choose care, for animals, for the planet, and for ourselves.
As a woman, I often feel pressure to follow the “normal path”. The 4B movement helps me step away from those expectations. Of course, Sadie Sink may not describe her veganism directly as feminist and I don’t want to project my ideology onto her. But her actions still inspire feminist thinking. Her vegan life gives me another kind of courage, a calm courage to live differently, gently and consciously. In the end, feminism and veganism share one heart: autonomy with compassion. And I want my life to follow that heart. ♀
