Priestly sects in KMT abstained from meat-eating. I recall Queen Afua stating that meat-eating didn't become prominent in KMT until after the Hyksos invasion but I can't speak on how true that is. But various priestly groups that derived KMT like the Essenes and Dravidic priests (and their derivators such as Hindu and Buddhist priests) were vegetarians. The Pythagoreans (the secret brotherhood started by the Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, after studying in KMT and having his Kemetic teachings shunned by the contemporary Greek society) were also vegetarians.

Also the Tutsi? of Rwanda were traditionally vegetarians (not vegans as they still drank milk). I'm sure upon further study I could find more examples of Afrikan vegetarians who were not influenced by Westerners.

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
