    And you start from a base assumption that any of that matters in terms of food.

    It’s like a retronym, picking facts to claim as a basis for a belief that’s rooted in a moral code.

      No, veganism as a conclusion is a combination of facts and basic moral understanding, principles like “live and let live”, “do no harm”, and the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do to you. If you’re a psychopath who doesn’t care how much harm, death, and suffering is caused in order to get sensory pleasure, I probably can’t convince you why veganism is worthwhile
