    Yes it is, as no animal is harmed:
    “Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.”







  • I don’t know why I keep arguing with a troll, but maybe someone else will read this:

    “I alone can’t change anything” is a premature excuse to shift responsibility to others. But you are responsible for your life and your actions. Be a good role model because you can.
    Our survival as a species is at stake in the medium term, our coexistence and our democracy are threatened. There is no CO2 budget left, we need to globally stop emissions immediately. Every ton counts, every decimal point, because at 2.6 degrees humanity does not cease to exist, it just suffers even more than at 2.59 degrees.
    There are big destroyers, we all know them by now. At the same time, even if these corporations disappeared immediately, we would still exceed the 1.5 degree target just through our reckless diet. Why do you push this responsibility away?
    We need to change on all levels and as you most likely won’t blow up a pipeline, you can start with your diet right now: Next time you’re shopping for groceries, save 2/3 of the land area, water consumption and CO2 emissions by buying a different product. Instead, you argue because you simply want to keep eating cheese sandwiches. Sounds so cynical and pathetic to me.
