      Arguably, body building by definition isn’t vegan.

      If we accept that crop death is inevitable, body builders are unnecessarily killing more animals purely for aesthetic reason.

      I wouldn’t ever say that to a non-vegan as it’s just too in the weeds, but still interesting.

          Yeah it’s certainly more philosophical than practical. Here’s another odd quandary: we as vegans agree that in certain situations, it’s okay to kill an animal (our favourite “stuck on an island with a cow” scenario). If people in remote artic areas HAVE to kill and eat animals to live, are they technically vegan? They’re avoiding the use of animals as much as is practical?
