Veganism isn’t about not eating what was or is “alive”. It’s about “suffering” (and avoiding it as much as possible).
You can find that fundamental belief in Buddhism or Jainism too. If you think about it, you can probably find it in you. Why would anybody want to make any other sentient body suffer?
Veganism can also be about environmental impact. I’m vegetarian mostly because a meat based diet isn’t sustainable on a global scale. While I’m obviously happy about the reduced suffering, it’s importance is only in second place for me.
Tho maybe veganism is pretty much entirely for reducing animals suffering, I’m only a vegetarian and won’t pretend to know for sure.
Plants are alive too. Vegans are just plant racists.

Vegan is just not eating stuff from animal, someone’s reasoning for that varies.

that’s confusing. I don’t know how to reply.
why is “environmental impact” concerning you if it’s not for the suffering it causes and will cause?
We are only just beginnig to understand what plants feel. They have hormons they have pain rezeptors they have a basic neural net.
To assume a plant would not suffer is a little outdated.
Even 20 Yeats ago it was already known that plants do feel pain. they inform surrounding plants about pain and they react to it.
Even if we took that as true, directly eating plants still kills fewer plants than feeding them to animals and then eating those animals.
to assume plants are sentient is a charognard propaganda
outdated? pfff… Receptors doesn’t mean “pain rezeptors”. Don’t seed confusion.
