That is your reason for being vegan. There are people that don’t give a single fuck about animals but use the lifestyle to reduce their carbon footprint.
The vegan society in the 40s, originally the vegetarian society, made the term to specifically get around the issue of people conflating being vegetarian for other things. Much easier to say vegan than ovolacto-vegetarian.
Please just use the term plant based if you don’t value ethics.
Well, times change and so does what words mean. Vegetarianism and veganism used to be somewhat radical philosophies, but nowadays, at least to me, they are normalised eating habits. I know all kinds of people who are vegetarian or vegan, with reasons ranging from health concerns to just not liking the taste of meat.
And in any case, I think gatekeeping veganism this way does no good at all.
You mean not fucking up the planet is not caring about ethics? You can call whatever you are doing plant based. Vegan is the rejection of animal products, if you do that because you are a lunatic or whatever is your thing I guess.
Ok here is what I learned from the basic Wikipedia Article about veganism
Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products and the consumption of animal source foods, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals.
[…]
People who follow a vegan diet for the benefits to the environment, their health or for religion are regularly also described as vegans.
veganism has a specific history, and it has nothing to do with the environment. the vegan society was founded by the person who coined the term, and they have a definition.
I have been vegan for the past decade. I have done my research, plant based products are products that can’t be labeled as vegan because they for example use the same grill to cook plant based products and meat. That makes it none vegan.
Even the wiki article from veganism states, that people that follow the vegan diet for environmental reasons are called vegans. Maybe you should stfu and read. Maybe your assumption about veganism is based off of the same things you base your assumption off of, that I don’t have anything to do with veganism.
Gentlemen, please; we’re all on the same team here. Veganism for any reason is good for the environment and the environment includes animals, in which not eating them is generally good for them.
No need for any of us to name call or get upset with each other over this stuff. We’re all trying to make the world a better place, even if our methods are slightly different, we all believe the current way of life is unsustainable for humanity and are taking what steps we can to help.

Doesn’t look like a large hurdle to me.

We need to unite, not divide.
it would be, if it stopped the environmental impacts. it doesn’t.
