I was shocked to see this log as it is the largest public health forum. No wonder why people are falling for pseudoscience and misinformation these days as problematic individuals are entrusted in important roles. I suppose it’s time for another migration.
Incorrect. There are various forms, two of the main ones are “it’s cruel to eat animals because they think/feel” and the other is “meat is unhealthy for the human body/an all plant diet is heathiest”. Yes, veganism typically lies more on the “cruelty free” part of the spectrum due to its refusal to consume eggs and other animal products as opposed to vegetarians, but there are versions that say those things are unhealthy too. Plus, vegans tend to take a larger view of “health” to include mental health(less stress from harming animals/“living in harmony with nature”) and the heath of the planet as a whole(“a healthy environment is a healthy place to exist”). Veganism is a lot more complex than just “I like animals”.
No, not incorrect. Veganism has nothing to do with human health. Veganism is a moral philosophy. If you don’t follow that moral philosophy, you’re not a vegan. It doesn’t matter what you eat. Any other usage is at best informal and usually incorrect.
It doesn’t matter if you pay your female employees the same as men; if you don’t believe that men and women are morally equivalent, then you’re not a feminist. It doesn’t matter if you eat nothing but lettuce and bananas; if you don’t believe that unnecessary cruelty and violence to nonhuman animals is wrong, then you’re not a vegan.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
Veganism isn’t about optimizing health though.
