An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I find vegans that care about cross contamination to be missing the forest for the trees. Veganism isn’t an allergy, it’s an ethical stance. How are animals harmed by having our food made in the same facilities as non-vegan food? Even PETA says you shouldn’t care about trace amounts of animal products when eating out so as not to make veganism seem difficult and inflexible to non-vegans thinking of making the switch.
I was not making a purity test, just stating my opinion on a worrying trend of vegans making actual purity tests by decreeing cross contamination as something all vegans should care about.
Making food more easily accesible to people with allergies is a worthwhile goal, but it has nothing to do with veganism.
Things that may contain traces of milk, egg etc can still have the EU vegan label.
