What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn’t heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

    Well now I’m wondering if you ever had an actual conversation with a vegan, because they actually have good reasons for this. A vegan diet is simply the most consequential idea if you want to minimize the necessity for animals to die, at the very least (even if we ignore the various ways of exploitation) because male chickens and calves obviously have to be killed in order for these industries to function.

      I’ve had conversations with vegans, and when one said that honey isn’t vegan because it’s produced by an insect (they said animal, but that’s incorrect), I stopped pretending that (at least some) vegans have any logic to their arguments.

        Wait, why is there no logic in there? Insects are animals, and honey is made by bees, which are insects and thus animals.

        If you believe you shouldn’t use animals for your food production, which is a reasonable definition of veganism, then you shouldn’t eat honey.

        I mean, fine if you do eat honey too, but I don’t really see your point here.
