There is actually a difference between 'vegan' and 'plant-based diet'. A car can be 'vegan'. A car is not part of a 'plant-based' diet.

- function_seven 7y agoUnderstood, but that difference doesn't apply when we're talking about food specifically. I'm saying that the "vegan" label is marketing liability if you're trying to sell to the general public (and not just to the existing vegan community). If we're talking about shoes, or cars, then the euphemism will be something like "cruelty-free". No car company is going to associate their cloth interiors with veganism. Well, maybe Subaru would :)
- paulcole 7y agoDon't forget about the subset of vegans who avoid palm oil/almonds and other particularly environmentally taxing plant-based products.
- nicky0 7y agoThat's why the common parlance is 'plant-based upholstery' for these situations.
