I disagree with your premise that veganism is all about thwarting disease by cutting out harmful dietary choices.
I agree that avoidance in an effort to thwart disease may be a valid option.
This has nothing to do with veganism.
Veganism is all about rejecting the commodity status of animals and generally abstaining form activities that commodify animals.
What I consider the root or definition of veganism is my operational definition.
That doesn't mean you aren't wrong.
- saagarjha 7y ago> Veganism is all about rejecting the commodity status of animals and generally abstaining form activities that commodify animals. I strongly disagree. Someone who does not eat animals because they dislike the taste, while not subscribing to "the vegan philosophy", is still vegan.
- firethief 7y agoEven if they wear a lot of fur?
- saagarjha 7y agoSure, I'd still call them dietary vegans.
- kingofpandora 7y agoOne can wear as much fur, hunt as many animals and club as many baby seals as one wants. A vegan is someone who doesn't eat animals and animal products.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoFair. Though I’d make a distinction between ‘vegan’ and ‘veganism’.
- ianai 7y ago“Veganism is all about rejecting the commodity status of animals and generally abstaining form activities that commodify animals.” and why? Because people are a disease in the truest sense to those animals.
