Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

Anything that exploits children, people or animals - by definition - isn't vegan. You're confusing plant-based diet with veganism. Veganism isn't a diet. To be vegan means you actively avoid products and practices that are known to exploit animals and people - including quinoa and palm-oil etc. To say that veganism isn't cruelty-free is an oxymoron. If it involves cruelty - it's not vegan. Free-range isn't cruelty-free, plant-based diets aren't necessarily cruelty-free, vegetarianism definitely isn't cruelty-free either but none of these are related to veganism. Veganism, by definition, is a lifestyle that seeks to exclude all practices and products that harm or exploit animals. Anyone that falls outside of this definition (including people who try plant-based fad diets or try veganism for a month and then "give up") simply are not vegan - they're average joe-blog, meat eaters. Please don't taint veganism with your lack of understanding of the definition.

Someone Explained Why Veganism Is Not Cruelty Free, And It Might Make You Think Twice Before Going Vegan

I'm not a vegan, but this is the most idiotic argument I've seen against veganism. That's like someone saying: "No one should be racist!" And someone else arguing: "It's impossible to eradicate racism because there's no such thing as a cruelty free world and some cultures and religions support systematic racism and here are some cherry-picked examples in which bigotry has benefitted certain cultures!" Solving problems (such as saving the planet and animals) is difficult, but arguing against people trying to help solve the problem is just counterproductive.
