Summary
One of my goals has always been to take the word "vegan" out of the box called "vegan." My goal is constantly thwarted by

*the attempt by some vegans to narrow the definition and make the word "vegan" refer to every social problem that exists in the world
If you call yourself vegan or have ever been told you can't call yourself vegan, this episode is for you.
