I'm amazed to see how many people think that veganism is just a diet, and don't understand the philosophy behind it. Amazingly, now we have ''vegans'' who hunt or fish, ''vegans'' who eat or use honey, ''vegans'' who eat eggs and cheese/casein, ''vegans'' who eat fish and chicken every once in a while, and even ''dietary vegans''... This is very
