An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I agree that the other person and I are going round and round... which is useless. Although I understand the point that everyone can derive protein from plant based diets, to be fully inclusive all diets must be considered. anecdotally I had a student who for allergy reasons he could only eat 5 items, one of which was grilled chicken (salt was ok, no pepper, no oil). I am fully on the side of inclusive diets, and although I may get attacked for defending animal protein on a vegan platform (I am not trolling) I have many happy vegan regulars who know that I prepare good, honest vegan dishes without prejudice (unlike the typical Ramsey style vegan hating ranting chef). All this to wrap up my original point: when dealing with students in a diverse environment they often will say one thing while acting completely opposite!
