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.

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

As someone who does a lot of data science for work, this looked off immediately and I was right. The proportions of the vegan slice are exaggerated. Here's actual ratio

You beat me by a minute with the same frustration

Interesting. Would you have a source?

Happy as I am to see nearly a 100 million vegans, I wonder if the plot was made to be intentionally misleading. The pie chart has the vegan slice pulled out and enlarged - it's not even close to the real proportion... Also, out of curiousity, where'd you get the numbers?

I don’t care if it’s accurate, I just see how many people I’m superior to because I’m vegan.
