Got it, so you are emotionally defining veganism in such a way that you aren't actually vegan if you don't get there for emotional reasons.

If that's your definition of veganism then of course nobody can get there with reason. You've created a tautology with your emotion filled definition.

For the record, veganism is defined by MW as

: a strict vegetarian who consumes no food (such as meat, eggs, or dairy products) that comes from animals

also : one who abstains from using animal products (such as leather)

That was the definition I was operating under. Sorry I didn't Intuit your arbitrary definition you pulled from "eat meat.com" or whatever you got it.

They got that definition from The Vegan Society, the leading charity/group representing the movement.
