Nice! I agree with what you wrote about the why, that’s key. And, I’ve also discovered there are several whys and not everyone comes into veganism for the same reason.
It’s important to keep that in mind so people are free to be themselves. The community pressure and even the pressure from those who aren’t vegan can be intense.
It is not a religion. It is not necessarily a food allergy. Not everyone is going to get rid of all their leather at once. People have different whys and different ways. (Nice illustration too!)
