    there is no such focus, vegans go to great lengths to distance themselves from vegetarians and the like exactly because veganism is not just a diet

      There is no focus on humans eating animals? Surely you have not made yourself clear

        It’s not just about food. There’s all the other ways in which humans exploit animals: labor, test subjects, zoo exhibits, raw materials (leather, down) etc. Also all of the resource usage, labor, abysmal land use, and pollution that goes into maintaining these practices.
