Being vegan is about animal suffering and consent though
- 1propionyl 6y agoThere are different sorts of vegans with different reasons for their dietary choices. And regardless, for some, after avoiding animal products for a long time the thought of eating them can come to be unappealing.
- Fnoord 6y agoThere are three global reasons one can decide to be vegan, vegetarian, and reducetarian. 1) Animal well-being. 2) Environmental well-being. 3) Personal health well-being. You may substitute well-being with suffering, and there's also a nuance between death and staying alive but using (e.g. milking). [EDIT: I suppose there's a fourth, a psychological reason how some people find certain products 'impure' to eat. But I'm not sure how I'd define that group.]
- Fnoord 6y agoWhat being a vegan is about is up to each individual themselves. There is no kind of contract which allows you to call yourself or see yourself as a vegan, and its furthermore very tiring when someone's trying to preach to you what veganism is about <fill in strict ruleset here>.
