r/vegan (about 2.0M members, directory rank #549) is framed around veganism as a philosophy and way of living that seeks to exclude animal exploitation. Healthful plant-forward food sharing, nutrition science and waste-reduction living each have clearer homes when the thread is not vegan ethics or lifestyle.
