An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've dealt with the same moral dilemma when I had switched from a vegetarian to a vegan diet. I had continued to consume honey for about six months, a year into my vegan journey, but then I realized two things:
that the core principle of veganism is to no longer exploit any animals, including bees;
that the bulk of available honey in stores does not come from ethical sources.
In most cases, it's not a win-win situation.
