Bell Curve Explanation:
- Left Side: Some uninformed weirdo who thinks he can "own vegans [plant-based capitalism enjoyers]" by telling them this product isn't vegan because of something like the mayo it comes with or the fact that it shares a grill with beef burgers.
- Middle: Someone who, either through ignorance or coping, thinks that endorsing plant-based capitalism can fall under veganism.
- Right Side: A vegan who understands that PBC isn't vegan, and that's why such a burger wouldn't be vegan, especially with Impossible™'s animal testing controversies considered.
To be honest, I agree with this from a practicability standpoint. Going a life without feeding into PBC or even only feeding into it a just a little bit can be really fucking difficult, especially depending on where you are located. You can't escape plant-based capitalism because you can't escape capitalism itself (unfortunately). For example, some anti-PBC vegans think that, if possible, you should find local grocers that exclusively sell vegan products and are verified to be 100% ethical, but that is an unfeasible option for many of us. It definitely isn't something I can do with where I am in Florida, as much as I'd like to do it. This is a subject matter that you can adjust with accessibility, but a plant-based burger at a fast food restaurant where the rest of the menu is meat products is quite obviously not the hallmark of veganism that some people think it is. That being said, I don't necessarily fault, shame, or say "you're not a real vegan" if you soy out over Impossible whoppers and Beyond sandwiches at KFC. I just think a fair amount of education is needed at that point.
