When to Use (and Not Use) the Word Vegan — REBROADCAST Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

One of my goals has always been to take the word "vegan" out of the box called "vegan." My goal is constantly thwarted by

*the overuse of the word vegan

*the use of "vegan" to refer to people as well as food

*the attempt by some vegans to narrow the definition and make the word "vegan" refer to every social problem that exists in the world

If you call yourself vegan or have ever been told you can't call yourself vegan, this episode is for you.
