:vegan-edge: Veganism isn't a diet, it's about animal liberation.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose

    Had my first instance of a friend trying to debate bro me on veganism. Feels like a rite of passage.

    Because after all, the mushrooms I like to eat are probably grown on manure, and fertilizers used for my plants are environmentally destructive and poison so many fish. There is no escaping mass animal murder so it's not worth trying.

    My choices won't prevent animals from being harmed, says the person who insists a meal isn't complete without meat.

      The "no ethical consumption" crowd always has it out for veganism, but pal I'm not the one murdering a living being every time I feel a bit peckish.

        My favorite version of this was someone who did a "no ethical consumption" spiel, except for Chick-fil-A. Like, fuck that company for several reasons of course, but that's such a bizarre choice for most evil company.

      Honestly I don't mind when friends (politely) bring up the subject. It's like playing a game of chicken. I would rather lose them as a friend than be not vegan, so unless they want to cut ties over eating meat they have to "lose" the argument. Funny power dynamic and I get to banter about whether figs with wasps in them are vegan or whatever.
