    What’s this ethical stance about?
    Is it about what you eat?
    Is it an ethical stance about what you eat, and therefore a dietary stance?

    You really chose the person saying “vegans aren’t assholes, it’s the preachy people who are the problem” to get preachy at didn’t you?

      I’m not a vegan, and I’m also not a fan of vegan preaching, but veganism extends beyond diet to include other products like clothes and makeup. So it’s not entirely a dietary stance, that’s just where it gets the most contention. Most people are mostly vegan outside the dietary sphere, so there’s not much fighting to be had there.

        Yes, I do know what veganism is. But in this case we’re talking about food, and in that sphere veganism is a dietary preference. That it also has other lifestyle implications isn’t really relevant to a conversation about food.
