A party line⦠for a diet?
The supermajority of self described vegans are ethical vegans. Ethical veganism is not a diet.
For example, animal products you find in a trash can are ethically vegan because consuming them does not contribute to, or create economic demand for animal abuse. First-hand leather products (which you do not eat) are absolutely not ethically vegan.
This is not a mainstream view in the same way it is not a mainstream view that eating human body you find from someone you did not kill is generally not considered ethical.
You can agree that something is ethically vegan without agreeing that it's a good thing to do.
