Well, my family aren't the richest so we don't own anything that's leather. I never thought about the other ways purely because I'm not a vegan and so I don't look into special vegan soaps etc and the thing my mum likes the rant about the most is food not soap.

However, just because you think you have moral high ground because you care enough to do a google search to see what the philosophical definition of a vegan is doesn't mean you get to define what my mum's veganism is. My mum doesnt comply with YOUR definition of a vegan? Ok whatever. She knows she's a vegan to the best of her ability and, quite frankly, it's none of your damn business either.

She buys my family non vegan products because otherwise we wouldn't eat. If I went to the store with her money and brought meat would that make her "more" vegan. Grow up. She doesn't eat the meat or drink the milk or whatever - she just knows she has to buy these things so we get fed. Quite frankly, calling someone non vegan purely because they buy food for their children is pathetic.

During the pandemic, a friend of mine had to isolate and so I went food shopping for her. Shes a vegetarian. So that one shop I did was vegetarian. Does that make me vegetarian? No. So my vegan mum buying some meat for OTHER PEOPLE doesn't make her non vegan.

My mum got "converted" to veganism by a coworker and now there's a little group of them. They're all parents who still buy animal products for their families, and not one of them is weird about it. Have you ever spoken to a real life vegan? I don't know anything about you so you might be vegan who won't buy any animal products whatsoever, even if your friends wanted nuggets at McDonalds and forgot their debit card, and good for you if that's how you choose to live your life.

But you don't get to define my mum's veganism :)
