    I’ve never said that the title is wrong, or the content is wrong. I just wanted to highlight that the focus should be on the “act” (eating) and not on the “being” (vegan vs not-vegan). The graph you’ve pasted would look friendlier if instead of saying “meat-eaters” … “vegans”, would say something like “high meat consumption” … “100% plant based”. Grouping the actions and not the people.

      This seems needlessly pedantic, presumably because of a similar argument as the other commenter - that veganism is a philosophy and not just a diet. However, as the other commenter highlighted, veganism begets a vegan diet.

      You also don’t have to follow an entirely vegan philosophy to follow a strict vegan diet.

      Not to mention “100% plant based” implies you don’t eat fungi!

        I agree that it might be pedantic to some, but I think it is important to strive for a clear message.

        You also don’t have to follow an entirely vegan philosophy to follow a strict vegan diet.

        That’s the point I wanted to make on my original comment.

        Not to mention “100% plant based” implies you don’t eat fungi!

        Yeah, my examples didn’t want to be the definitive nomenclature.
