The vegan place to discuss things.

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.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

hi all - this might be a dumb question, so forgive me, but are any of you vegan because of your spiritual beliefs? or, alternatively, i guess a broader and more interesting question might be how do your spiritual beliefs (if any) interact with and inform your veganism?

I'm an anti-theist, so for me it is about not hurting anyone that can suffer. Nothing more.
