Jainism is a religion, as peaceful as it is, it also has it’s flaws. Some jains use dairy products because it is generally acceptable, though with modern practices it obviously violates their core principles, but loopholes like that are common to religions.
Veganism is pretty simple and practical, it is all about reducing harm. Of course each vegan has their own interpretation of what constitutes as unnecessary harm and what doesn’t, but it is rooted in our scientific understanding of who can actually be harmed.
It is far more than a diet, it is the understanding that my wants are not above others needs and rights, human or otherwise.
The way I see it, Veganism is the most moral framework that is rooted in reality.
Look, religion is one thing, science is another.
