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.
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.
Your gut feeling is not a source.
