If you’re someone who identifies as vegan, chances are you’re pretty confident in your claim. You know your tofu from your tempeh and can read a food label in seconds. You haven’t knowingly consumed animal products in years or months, and you’d never buy something made from leather, but the question still remains, are you vegan enough? At times in the vegan community, there can be divides where some of us can be guilty of policing the cause and fighting with others who agree with the fundamental basics of living a cruelty-free life. But what is this all for and who, if anyone, is in the right? A basic definition of a vegan is someone who doesn’t eat animal derived foods or wear animal skins. They also avoid using animalbased and tested cosmetics, skincare and cleaning products. To summarise, a vegan is someone who believes using animals as any type of commodity is wrong and they abstain from doing so. But where does the divide happen, if we all have the same beliefs? There have been many disagreements in the vegan community over the introduction of plant-based foods in high-street chains such as McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC, and whether or not we as customers should give our money to these companies, who are notorious for serving up meals like ‘buckets of chicken’ or burgers with multiple meats inside.
