    I think that’s a false dichotomy, because someone can be vegan and only eat organic. It’s not mutually exclusive, and the vast majority of people are probably neither.

    If you mean that organic produce isn’t vegan, then I’d say you’re taking the ideological purity test a little too far. If you really want to reduce your harm to 0, then the only way to do that is to be like the Jain Sallekhanas who vow to eat nothing for the rest of their lives.

    My point was that even non-organic agricultural practices harm ecosystems and wildlife, so avoiding organic foods as a vegan is pointless.
