Thanks for the info.

I will be sure to avoid tagging anything else of mine with "vegan", as I am sure it would offend the vegan community.

Now that I have an accurate understanding of what veganism truly is, I realize that I am grateful to be spared the struggles that come with it. It sounds like quite the harrowing way to live if it's going to dictate/restrict your relationships with other people.

I wish you the best in your future efforts, and I hope you can make peace with your non-vegan family someday.

Pardon my misunderstanding.
