Here's another interesting post by the Vegan RD that I thought was interesting.

She writes about how vegans who insist on restrictions that have nothing to do with the essence of veganism often hurt our cause. People have the right to eat as they want so long as they're not hurting others, but people who want to eat in these more restricted ways should perhaps make it clear that this is a choice they are making in addition to their veganism. I've encountered people who've asked me, "But what's wrong with eating wheat?" Veganism, in some cases, seems to be being redefined to include restrictions that have nothing whatsoever to do with animal products and exploitation, and this harms the cause, by making people more likely to think that this is a change they won't be able to undertake.
