The modern vegan movement is founded on the idea of anti animal exploitation. I would argue that people who don’t consume animal products for health reasons are people who consume a plant-based diet rather than vegan. This sentiment is common among people who are vegan for ethical reasons.

Also I don’t mind getting a bad rap if that means we adhere to our values, that’s how I and a lot of others were persuaded by this argument. I’m yet to have met a person who is vegan and never had bad views on the movement
