I was seeing the facts about issues to animals and environment, when I had already become vegetarian, had me knowing I should be vegan as soon as it could be managed, there were real obstacles for me still. And it was just what I read a couple of years after I was effectively vegan to know the healthy way, which I wanted, that being with whole foods from plants without the processed stuff that comes with food otherwise, and I changed to that, still making it healthier and healthier. Having plenty variety is really good for that.
Veganism is, to the degree possible, the avoidance of the utilization/exploitaion of animals.
A vegan diet is a diet that follows this principle.
A vegan lifestyle is a lifestyle that follows this principle.
A vegan philosophy is a philosophy that supports this principle.
This isn’t that complicated.
I agree, that’s why I said there’s only one reason to go vegan. You have to be against exploiting animals.
There may be other reasons to go on a vegan diet, but this is the only reason to go vegan.
That’s not quite it.
I’m not saying why one goes vegan, but rather what it means when people say they are vegan.
Absent other modifiers, it’s about diet.
