I'll speak for myself. It's not about purity. It's about reducing harm. I know I can't be a "pure" vegan without either living in a bubble, or some remote area with really good farming. Do people know we use every part of the proverbial buffalo? Yes. Or do vegans often ponder the "ingredients" in everyday objects? And yes. I'm aware the paint on the walls might not be vegan. I just have to live with that. Is vaccinating your kids vegan? I don't know, and I don't care. I'm okay with using animal products for medicine. Maybe that makes me not vegan. Are all vegans anti-vax? No. Are soaps, cosmetics, detergents, plastics, tires, and lubricants made with stearic acid and other beef products vegan? Strictly, no. And if you're eating organic food, isn't it more likely that your spinach was grown in a bath of bone meal, blood meal, fish meal? Maybe. But I'm sure this is better than actually eating the animals, in a calculated sense. I make no effort to eat organic, anyway. Do vegans know how we produce organic fertilizers? Some do, some don't.
