    He literally used the word “vegan”. You didn’t have to engage with my comment if you found it off-topic, but instead, you have written more words than anyone else in this entire thread. You are displaying so many classic behaviours, like telling vegans how to be vegan, or how to convert someone to veganism when you yourself would not be converted by someone following your advice. You’re aggravated by our existence because you want us to just stop reminding you of something you don’t want to think about.

    Your defensive behaviour has all the signs of carnism, the unconscious and evaluated value system that says that it is acceptable or even good to sometimes be cruel and violent towards vulnerable individuals. These unconscious beliefs that govern your allowable behaviour are in direct contradiction with other values you hold more consciously, such as that it is good to be kind and empathetic, especially towards the vulnerable. Holding all those ideas in your head at the same time requires a lot of psychological framework. It’s exhausting maintaining it all.






  • Neither of them really describe “a” diet. I don’t consume alcohol. Is that a diet? You don’t consume antifreeze, even though it tastes really really good. Is that a diet? “Not consuming animal products” is not a diet.

    “Plant-based” is a characteristic of an infinite number of diets or other practices; those that exclude animal products. “Vegan” is a characteristic of a person; one that conducts themselves according to a specific moral perspective on interactions with animals. A diet is vegan iff (ie if and only if) there was a moral question in its practice. It describes the justification, and using it to talk about only the outcome is exactly what I am saying is incorrect.
