My identification was based on one of the same misconceptions you've
stubbornly refused to give up that veganism is about food. I was wrong
to have assumed that veganism could be divorced from the animal rights

The difference between you and me is I admit my mistakes and learn from
them while you incessantly and ridiculously repeat yours.

So says the clueless urban nitwit who thinks farmers will eventually try
to corner the "veganic" market, which doesn't even exist.
