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.

Every time you use hand sanitizer, you're slaughtering billions of innocent bacteria! We must stop using it at once!

Jains must arrest the vegans for stepping on microbes from their reckless walking.

Have you considered: because we can demarcate boundaries in different ways it is literally impossible to critically assess the validity of said boundaries? Hmm? Hmm?

^Enter the arena of logic and reason^

Actually it's purely rational. I am a being of pure rationality, this text is not actually writing merely coincidental emissions as I calculate increasingly large prime numbers. I do this for reasons that were mechanistically determined by the initial conditions.

Get owned.
