    ok so it is basically the stealing thing. I was just not sure as far as common usage. There are so many levels between like a fruitarian and a lacto/ovo vegetarian.

      Those things are diets, veganism is a philosophy/way of living. Due to the philosophy we avoid animal products.

      It’s like, some people eat vegetarian because they’re practicing Buddhism but eating vegetarian doesn’t make someone a Buddhist.

      There’s been a degree of coopting the label of vegan with environmental stuff, or health stuff. Some plant based capitalism marketing stuff as vegan while killing animals to make it (e.g. beyond or impossible). Veganism is the non-human animal rights movement though, and there is more too it than a diet.

        I was unaware. I thought it was a type of diet. Granted fruitarian as I have known it explained is around not killing things but I still really just thought of it as a diet.
