The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

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.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

I definitely prefer vegan to plant-based. Plant-based doesn't translate into Persian either. I like Dillon from Well Your World who doesn't use the term "wfpb whole food plant based" he calls it the "whole plant food only diet"

The language barrier is partly why I prefer vegan too. My second language is Spanish, I am planning on living in a Spanish-speaking country and the most commonly used translation for "plant based" that I am aware of is "de origen vegetal" which is more of a food label than a personal one. It's easier to just say "vegana" lol.
