Lately it seems that people think veganism is just a diet, or at best, it’s someone who doesn’t eat any animal products and doesn’t wear leather. But what many don’t realize is that veganism is not a diet, it’s a moral and ethical philosophy that seeks to end the exploitation of animals, with a plant based diet being just one aspect of that.

The “Vegan Purity Test”, which is a form of the No true “Scotsman fallacy”, is one of the biggest causes of infighting I see within the community. We have to stop being the vegan police over everyone.
