      There is a related community of people who refer to themselves as “plant-based, whole-food” eaters. I recently switched to this from a lifetime of meats and processed foods (mostly, it’s a work in progress to avoid cheat meals).

      I vastly prefer the PBWF people to vegans. Less evangelism, less shaming, less zealotry… and PBWF is actually stricter than vegan. I find vegan communities insufferable but I may have found my new home with PBWF.

      Highly recommend.

        Yeah, I won’t start eating meat just because of a annoying person online, I just find this all or nothing attitude among vegans to be hurtful towards the cause of making people eat less meat. I probably won’t label myself, but I will continue to promote vegan/vegetarian like lifestyle.

        And never will be. But I guess I don’t care anymore about that label.

        And because of that I also don’t have to care anymore about what I eat. So I can eat everything again. Thanks for making that clear to me.

        This is obviously worse for animals, but only the real vegans care about that I guess🤷

          “I don’t like that my morals are too weak to fit a morale label, so if you don’t change the label to make it less moral, I’ll be more immoral on purpose!”

          What is this stupid ass stance? Are people suddenly becoming mentally 6 years old when it’s about morals?

        I’m fine with that, but I was trying, but now I see that it doesn’t matter, so I won’t keep trying.
