I get your point. But does it really matter??
I think its more importent to celebrate someone who tries instead of correct them wethwr they use the term vegan og plantbased. Not a biggy for me though :)

It matters because the more popular a plant based diet becomes the more animals and their suffering are taken out of the picture. You have a ton of very popular proper in society claiming they are vegan but then they wear leather, promote products tested on animals and who often then turn their back on a plant based diet and are seen eating a huge steak a few weeks later. Veganism is about ending animal exploration and if we erase their plight from the tern created to make it visible we are doing them a disservice it is not about celebrating another human it is abut ending what horrible things we do to non humans.
It is great that they are trying but think for a minute if the victims were human and human children would we still be celebrating a solitary effort or saying that it is nice but that more needs to be done ?
I am so happy that I ain't as crazy as you when it comes to termology xD
I have been Vegan for 2 years now, started out by only caring about the health benefits.
So every step is worth a celebration in my head :D
I am glad I can hold a conversation without insults, unlike you - LOL! You are entitled you your opinion but you made my point apparent with the above statement. You went plant based for yourself thus animals are not important in your equation or are just becoming important. Do you avoid wool, leather animal ingredients in health and beauty products? Do you avoid honey all these things are part of being vegan not only the diet.
Not sure "crazy" is an insult, depends on how you feel about the word I guess :D
I have been avoiding all of that ever since I went vegan when I buy stuff :)
But do I have clothes which is more than 2 years old? Yes. Some of it might contain wool, I don't know.
I don't think its important what you wear, its more importent what you buy from the point you went vegan and on :)
Also, no need for honey. I have maple syrup :p
don't think its important what you wear
I disagree if you wear leather, fur ect you give people the idea that it is ok to do so. I at this point even have been avoiding faux fur (even though i love it ) because people are stupid and think it justifies them wearing the real thing ). Of course if you already have the stuff it no longer really hurts the poor animal but it's the perception that makes it a problem. People tend to try to pinpoint anything that justifies their bad behaviour sadly, i refuse to give them a reason ...
Well, okayokay. I don't own anything leather and I don't think I ever have(???)
I 100% agree on people being stupid, thats for sure xD
Thats what I mean, I already have some stuff which may contain wool, not going to be wasteful and throw it out.
But I understand the perception
