`::::::Veganism doesn't require people to take into account human suffering, unless you are going to say that people who ``don't eat meat or animal products`` but do buy sweatshop clothing and drink coca cola are NOT vegans. Don't use a No real Scotsman on me now. Veganism isn't ``avoiding suffering`` it is ``not eating or using meat or animal products``. Perhaps you'd like to tighten the definition but then you'll need to decrease all the numbers of frequencies of vegans in the world as I imagine most studies go by my definition not yours. -    `
