i am a vegan.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of either the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan ( ). Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism. \"Dietary vegans\" (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term \"ethical vegan\" is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animals for any purpose. Another term is \"environmental veganism\", which refers to the avoidance of animal products on the premise that the harvesting or industrial farming of animals is environmentally damaging and unsustainable. Well-planned vegan diets can reduce the risk of some types of chronic disease, including heart disease. They are regarded as appropriate for all stages of life including during infancy and pregnancy by the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada, and the British Dietetic Association. The German Society for Nutrition does not recommend vegan diets for children, adolescents nor during pregnancy and breastfeeding.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hey! I'm vegan, do you know what that entails?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hey, that's really awesome! Veganism is not consuming or using products containing animal byproducts, right?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah, you got it! A lot of people think it just excludes meat and dairy, but most vegans also exclude honey from their diet."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I didn't know that! Do you have to sacrifice any flavors being vegan, like sweet or sour flavors?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Surprisingly, no! Some common junk foods are also vegan. Purple Doritos? Vegan. Oreos? Yup, you guessed it. Also vegan."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's super interesting! I hope there are some vegan wines out there too, to enhance the vegan meals even more!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "There are plenty readily available vegan wines, thankfully! Any red variety of Yellowtail (which is readily available at just about any liqueur store) is 100% vegan :~)"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'll have to check that out! Do you find it easy to find vegan foods at stores with the labels they use? I know I see the \"V\" stamp on a lot of things at the store."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah, the \"V\" stamp is really easy to see. Even Walmart now carries vegan mayo and vegan caesar dressing, so there's not as much of an accessibility barrier to veganism as some people think"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's great that it's becoming easier to be a vegan. Do you ever go to Sam's Club? They are owned by WalMart so I bet they have lots of vegan options too."}]
