It turns out that I've been using the #vegan term incorrectly for at least 33-years. Even though I haven't eaten any animal-derived products all this time, I should use #Vegetarian to describe my diet since I'm not a follower of Veganism and I'm not opposed to using leather boots. I don't believe that I'm contributing to the exploitation of animals by using this by-product. I would certainly use synthetic boots if there weren't enough meat-eaters to supply material for leather boots but as long as it's abundant, I'm going to keep using long-lasting boots.
I'll still use the vegan word at a restaurant to simplify the description of the food I'm seeking but as for everywhere else, I'm vegetarian to avoid confusion.
It's kind of like the #capitalism term - I don't want the appearance of an evil prick so I'll clearly state that I would appreciate #free-markets if they existed.

Communication can get so messy when people have different definitions for the words they are using (especially, when they don't know they have different definitions).

I have been eating the frozen protein crumbles that are made with pea protein and it is delicious. It's super fast to heat and add to a dish.
I don't think it tastes like animal meat (that's a good thing) but does taste like spices that are traditionally used with meat. I threw the last package away because there was obviously an accident that added too much spice - so much that it tasted and smells like Italian sausage smells.
I'm imagining internet vegans will likely start bashing Beyond Meat products now that a company associated with animal cruelty stands a chance to profit.
