Question:
I know this kind of question has been asked before, but I got a different take on it.
Wikipedia defines Veganism: “a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose”
Humans are animals.
Breast feeding is human females using themselves to provide food for their babies.
So does that mean that by definition, anyone who feeds breast milk to their babies is not excluding the use of animals, therefore does not live a true vegan lifestyle?
Question:
I’m DYING to know:
How do Vegetarian/Vegan celebrities manage to exist happily in their careers when every single thing they do is dictated by their companies? I mean, theyd have to make sure noone ever uses an animal product on their hair or skin, that theyre never given clothing to wear made from animals (and its impossible to tell with shoes what is and isnt made from animals), that theyll never sit on leather chairs, etc.
And this isnt just music videos movies and photo shoots im talking about, but when they go to most recording studios and offices and such there are ALWAYS leather CHAIRS!
Vegetarianism/Veganism affects most aspects of a persons life. Thats alot to include in a contract. I would assume that before they become an asset to the company alot of people end up getting rather pissed off at them, and theyre probably given animal products without their knowing, no?
Please someone tell me how they can live happily as vegetarians/vegans in the entertainment realm.
This has been boggling my mind forever.
Im sure the big timers get their way more often, what about new recruits? How would THEY go about getting what they need?
Would any entertainment company listen to a contract like that or would they dismiss the soon-to-be employee? I have so many questions on this.

Question:
Since vegans are against cruelty and the exploitation of animals, shouldn’t vegans be against sweatshops since sweatshops exploit their employees (sometimes children) and pay them very little in return for their work. I for one am going to start reading labels as to where my clothing is made and look in to sweatshop free brands and stores.
DoYouKnowMe:
Do research on where your clothes are made and what shops don’t import clothes or use sweatshops. Every clothing item list where it’s made on the tag where the size is located.
Eve L:
If you’re vegan for health reasons, a better term would be strict vegetarian rather than vegan since vegans oppose wearing leather, wool, etc.
If you’re vegan because you don’t want animals to die and you don’t want to contribute to cruelty, then it makes no sense that you’d add to human cruelty. Sweatshops have everything to do with being vegan since vegans for animal rights are against cruelty, thus they should be against people cruelty too.
And regardless, everyone should care about people. I think it’s pretty sad that you’re vegan because animals suffer but don’t care enough about people to boycott clothes from sweatshops. Also, I’m not telling how to live your life. It was a question, I never said this is what you must do.
Well, I don’t think most vegans do since I asked a question about vegan shoes and I received a lot of responses with shoes that are from sweatshops. Also, an answerer that was vegan who deleted her answer said it didn’t matter.
I agree that everyone should check their clothing. I adressed this question to vegans in particular though because they’re against animal cruelty, won’t wear anything from animals, yet will buy things from sweatshops which contradicts the point of trying to be cruelty free.

Question:
I’m 17 and I’ve been vegan since I was 12. I’m 17 weeks pregnant now. I know a vegan diet is perfectly fine during pregnancy and my OB/GYN is a vegetarian (I had no idea when I started seeing her) and is totally supportive of me being vegan.
Was anyone else a pregnant vegan teen? Or does anyone know someone who was?
I’m just wondering
Zoer — are you blind? I addressed what you said in my question.
You’ve probably heard a lot about living a vegan lifestyle. Maybe you even have a few friends who are vegan and wonder how they look so healthy all the time. Fact is many people who are hesitant to make a complete lifestyle change will often flirt with the idea of a vegan weight loss diet. [...]
