I could claim that I don't drive a car for morally virtuous reasons, like saving a planet but the truth is that I simply don't have drivers licence thanks to bad eyesight. Similarly some vegans might think that they're doing something moral when in fact they're just looking for their own health.
I'm against ascribing moral values to things like dietary preferences or not driving car. Otherwise thousands of people end to be "morally virtuous" and yet millions still starve in this ocean of goodness.
If someone make a choice for moral reasons, it is a moral choice. This seems so obvious that I actually feel it shouldn't need to be pointed out.
Who the hell are you to tell someone else whether their choices are based on moral values or not?
