The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

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; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

Statements like this are loosely playing with the term "vegan" I feel.

Lots of people follow a vegan diet, but aren't vegan in the strict sense.

You won't see those people in communities like these.
