SUMMARY

Veganism is a lifestyle that is now widespread around the world. So many people are deciding to avoid animal products and rely on a fully plant-based diet while ditching all those behaviours which could harm animals. Some argue that those who adopt this lifestyle can do so because of a so-called ‘vegan privilege’ that allows them to access non-animal products due to location and wealth. While it is widely acknowledged that a vegan lifestyle can positively impact humans and the environment as well, it is not emphasised how the struggle against speciesism is tightly linked to other discriminatory systems.
