Veganism is not a dietary preference, it's a system of ethics. If there had been vanity plates in the 1910s there probably would have been some that said 5UFFR4G3, too.
Veganism extends to all modes of consumption, not just food--for example, vegans don't buy leather or animal-tested makeup. Side note, to reduce confusion like yours, some people use 'plant-based' specifically to describe vegan food. People are vegan, products are "suitable for vegans".

- sterkekoffie 7y agoShooting a bear that's charging at you isn't non-vegan, and by the same token, pest control isn't necessarily non-vegan either. This is the de facto definition of veganism: > Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. And of course, what's possible and practicable is subjective.
- larrik 7y agoI know some people who eat vegan to avoid a number life threatening allergies, so it's not always about ethics. It usually is, though.
- sterkekoffie 7y agoThose people would accurately be called plant-based dieters. The point being that people getting vegan license plates are not allergy sufferers.
