We need a new, updated definition of veganism for 2018. Let's work together to create one.
I have been prompted to start this post after a "the straw that broke the camel's back" scenario I just encountered over at r/debateavegan.
Time and time again it seems that opponents to veganism (which feels crazy to say) pick apart The Vegan Society's definition of veganism to support their arguments. They center their attacks upon what I personally view as a very strong message, which is currently underrepresented by weak language. In an effort to simplify veganism into a sentence, the message is seemingly lost or at the least, diluted. We can be succinct, but I think that The Vegan Society definition follows that concept to a fault and leaves too much open to interpretation/bastardization. Our definition needs to be brought from the seventies into the two-thous.
You feel me?
Has anyone else been thinking on this recently and up for the challenge?
