    Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—

    One step ahead of you.

    Edit: You really think this is a gotcha, eh? Given that you’ve posted the same thing at least six times?

      practicable

      There’s the rub. One mans practicable is another mans impossible. So it just becomes people judging other people’s choices without any real understanding of their circumstances.

        It’s literally baked into the quote that that’s not the idea. I really don’t see how you’ve arrived at that conclusion and I suspect you’re just trying to finagle a counterpoint.

      No I don’t. Am merely pointing out everyone depends on it to a degree and that doesn’t give people right to call them names. This is why people roll their eyes whenever someone blurts out they are a vegan. Do whatever you want to do, but you are no better than the rest. Perhaps you care more or are trying more to be less dependent on animal products, but you are still dependent.

        Yeah? But the key is to become less dependant like you stated, which is what veganism aims to do. It is impossible at this current time to be independnat of them, but each passing year we do become less so.

          Which am completely fine with. Am just annoyed when someone comes and calls me a murderer or animal abuser when they themselves depend on the very same thing.

            Nobody did that, yet you chose to comment that annoying shit take anyway.

            You are as irritating as you claim those vegans are.

              Yeah, they did. Thread just grew enough, and people changed their comments.
