    No one said veganism is a religion, but it IS a political standpoint and philosophical and moral practice.

    Just read the first two paragraphs of wikipedia, it makes it clear.

    Following a plant based diet is one thing, being a Vegan is different.

      You are a carnist. That’s a political standpoint and philosophical and moral practice as well. You might not consider youself a carnist, you think you’re just normal because eating like a handfull of animals and drinking one animals mothers milk was normalised to you from birth. I was raised a carnist too. Yet it’s a decision, not a necessity. We don’t need meat and milk to survive, we choose to kill animals because we are accustumed to the taste. So we keep the system running.
