Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism

Below is my blog post from AusVegan.com about the dilution of the word vegan.

 

Diluting the word vegan.

It seems that everywhere you turn these days, someone has come up with a new way to be Vegan. We have 30 day challenges, Oprah recently did a 7 day one, you can be vegan Monday to Friday and before 6pm. I wouldn’t be surprised if before too long we soon see a seasonal vegan. A person that goes ‘vegan’ for a particular season for whatever reason.

Now, I am realise I am probably being a little bit of an extremist here, though can someone/anyone please explain to me how avoiding animal products whilst still wearing them is vegan?

As is usually the case when a new diet related vegan craze comes out, there is usually a general critiquing of it by however many vegan bloggers feel like discussing the issue. Most of the posts are usually not in favour of the new fad and often give reasons as to why whatever they may be.

As a whole, I usually don't have a problem with this apart from one aspect of it.

Every time that they mention the whole vegan fad in their own blogs, they are for all intents and purposes giving credence to the fad.
