> Flexatarianism is for people who do it for health reasons. Isn't it just about being less strict? It is not clear to me whether someone can call itself vegetarian, if as a guest at a religious holiday eats a traditional dish, or licks a gelato on holiday in Italy?
> There's no moral or ideologic obligation with vegetarianism/veganism, it's just what you eat.
I agree, and I wish more people would share your opinion, but as a person who wears formal shoes and have leather earpads on his headphones, I am not brave enough to call myself vegan these days.
Strictly speaking veganism does generally include clothing as part of the definition, I typically dress vegan but eat vegetarian. I have no problem stealing honey from bees as I view it as a generally cobeneficial relationship. I plant flowers for them specifically, set up housing for them, and protect them from their enemies, all ensuring a higher survival chance and more production. Same with pets. I feed them, take care of them, provide them love, and mutually we have a relationship of family. Our pets are given every opportunity to be the animals they are with the benefit of free food and protection, just for being part of the family.
If you're looking for leather style formal shoes that aren't leather, look for things like PU (not PU leather) or vegan leather. It's all just a way of saying PVC clothing. You can also look for the tag "all man-made materials". Your headphones are generally not real leather unless they explicitly state it and are very high end. Couch guitar straps makes some great vegan belts from recycled car vinyl, clickbelts make some vegan ones too, mooshoes has only vegan shoes, and searching vegan shoes on Amazon will bring up tons in all difference price ranges. All of these are just suggestions if you're looking for them.
