7 days agoThe supermajority of self described vegans are ethical vegans. Ethical veganism is not a diet.
For example, animal products you find in a trash can are ethically vegan because consuming them does not contribute to, or create economic demand for animal abuse. First-hand leather products (which you do not eat) are absolutely not ethically vegan.
I don’t because I think the idea of eating a literal part of an animal is gross and you probably should feel that way, but if you’re already dumpster diving that implies you probably need it more than most. Regardless that’s a great example of a vegan “party line” one might have.
