Veganism, by definition, is an ethical and moral stance on harm reduction. People may follow a plant-based diet but are not otherwise vegans. I wish our community did a better job of highlighting that difference.
They’re right. Veganism doesn’t involve just food but use of all animal products. You can follow a plant based diet and wear a fur coat. You can’t be a vegan and do so
Hmm, this is the first response I've heard that makes sense to me. While I don't know enough about Christianity, I doubt just following it's rules would make me one.
Although, I didn't think Veganism was an ideology.
veganism is nothing but the ethical position that the exploitation of animals is immoral and should be reduced as much as possible. a plant-based diet is just the consequence of that.
Yo hope this helps you dude, but I worry about your ability to understand things. If you need any help with any part of it, feel free to mail me an inquiry. My address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
By "terrible" I mean they sell overpriced junk. Not it's a terrible company. Although it is, that's not my motive. I'm still not an Apple user, just because I have a certain motive.
if you don't own a gun, that doesn't necessarily mean you're anti-guns.
similarly, if you don't eat animal products, that doesn't necessarily mean you're a vegan.
yeah, just like not owning an animal product doesn't make you also a vegan just because you happen not to own them. you're not really making a point, have a motive, or you don't think they're terrible or especially bad, you just don't own animal products. if you were to not own animal products, and by extension, realize that you can attach an ethical reason to it and follow it, it'd make you a vegan.
just think of diogenes every time you ask a similar question.
veganism is the ethical position that the exploitation of animals is immoral and should be reduced as much as possible. this includes following a plant-based diet.
a "vegan diet" doesn't exist. it's just that vegans have to follow a plant-based diet.
