She's eating a Vegan diet six days out of seven mainly for nutritional reasons. That is six days work of animals not being killed or exploited to fill her plate with food. It isn't perfect but blowing the shit out of her blog is just counterproductive. Do people really need to be affirmed in their suspicions that vegans are pissy and critical? Let's get real and appreciate ANY effort made to lessen our impacts on the animal kingdom.

Saying "mostly vegan" to me is like saying "mostly celibate": Either you are, or you aren't, and someone who eats all kinds of animal products throughout the week isn't vegan. And in her comments, she wrote: "I consider myself a dietary vegan". Well, if you're eating fish a few times a week and eating all other animal products one day out of that week, you're pretty much a "dietary omnivore". She just doesn't seem to get it, which is especially evident when she seems to treat animal rights as an afterthought by adding: "That is not to say that the ethics are not important" and then going to great lengths to establish some sort of Compassionate Cred by stressing her commitment to the environment, that she's a Buddhist, that she writes for (welfarist/anti-AR) Care2 and so on. <br /><br />If you have a few minutes, please do leave a comment on her original article and explain to her that vegans don't eat fish throughout the week and then indulge in an animal smorgasbord the seventh.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800153451645970774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-2204742259374601222011-05-05T19:28:21.007-03:002011-05-05T19:28:21.007-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Rational Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282898794561609022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-9040802440916160242011-05-05T19:23:57.616-03:002011-05-05T19:23:57.616-03:00"Health nut" is a perfectly serviceable ..."Health nut" is a perfectly serviceable term to describe these folks tumbling along in the wake of the vegan bandwagon.

I came across another bowdlerized use of "vegan": pregan. I am guessing that pregan means all that you were before you became vegan. Then we have "beegan" for those vegans who consume honey. It's getting so complicated! I keep talking with people who sincerely want to be vegans, but they are afraid. Similar to seagans, they buy into the protein myth. <br /><br />Thanks for trying to help this person, Mylene.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157374023750475973noreply@blogger.com
