Who the hell are you to tell someone else whether their choices are based on moral values or not?

If.
Who the hell are you to tell me anything? You might think that not eating meat is moral but I'm just getting a nice laugh out of it.
But you can't determine if someone choosing veganism is making a moral choice unless you know their motivations.
Broad brush, much?

As things stands only OP and you made claim about veganism being morally virtuous position. No actual vegan took this stance. That aside I might simply not believe claim made, just like with countless other claims.
No broad brush here. I just don't agree with calling someone dietary preference a moral choice. If someone disagrees then tough shit I guess as I'm under no obligation to agree.

I did NOT claim that veganism is a morally virtuous position. Read that post again.

My apologies, you said there are plenty of people who make that choice for morally virtuous reasons. I'm still not buying it. Also there is still a conspicuous absence of vegans making similar claims.

Actually, the majority of people practicing veganism ARE doing so as a moral choice - opposing the commodity status of animals.
And it’s not simply ‘a dietary choice’.

And it’s not simply ‘a dietary choice’.

Your proclamation on behalf of others magically changed my mind.
It's not simply dietary choice? It's like your opinion dude.

You know you can actually look these things up, right?
And veganism isn’t just about food. Vegans eschew all animal products - leather, animal-based adhesives, feathers, fur, ivory, wool, etc.

So? Still not a moral choice.

Everyone’s entitled to form their own opinions. What you’re not entitled to are you own facts. And it’s a fact, beyond reasonable dispute, that veganism can be a moral choice.

You're certainly entitled to opinion on possibility of veganism being moral choice. Just don't expect me to agree with it cause you deem your opinion to be fact.
