Yeah. As much as I dislike dogmatism, and vegans eating bivalves bothers me very little, I think there is an actual slippery slope issue here. If you accept that maybe some animals are OK to consume, how and where do you then set an arbitrary line?
I would probably dislike someone if they told me they were vegan and then tried to justify eating X animal because y
Don’t mind if they just say they try to avoid eating meat, that’s still commendable, but the moment they try to assign the label to themselves it really irks me
I guess that’s also the reason then, why mussels, fish etc. are considered sea fruit in many languages: Frutti di Mare, Meeresfrüchte, fruit de mer […]
By all means people should eat what they want to eat, however vegan is not the right word.
People asking me if I eat fish always scares me because what if someone serving me food just assumes vegetarians eat fish and doesn’t think to ask.
I’m not a fan of people using those terms incorrectly because of that kind of misunderstanding
In France it’s quite common to find all kinds of fish in the vegetarian section of the menu. I didn’t see it classified as vegan yet though.
That kind of thing puts me on edge lol
