A Friendly Conversation: Exploring Omnivorous vs. Vegetarian Diet

[Matt1]

Lately i have changed my vegetarian diet to that of a vegan diet and i am wondering about the limits of the vegan diet in the sense of clothing and chairs etc. Although i eat vegan food as far as my knowledge will allow , it has recently dawned upon me that how truly vegan can someone be if they still have leather shoes, cotton clothing and leather chairs? Is it possible to be vegan only through diet only? This doesn't make a lot of logical sense, am i just a wannabe vegan? How is it possible to be vegan in this sense? Do people carry around a hemp chair or something with them to social gatherings or sit on the floor if someone has a leather chair? It seems fairly hardcore, what is the line? I guess are we simply trying to minimize suffering to animals as far as possible? Or are we simply changing to a vegan diet for health reasons rather than ethical reasons which are more of a byproduct of the dietary change?

I think this is an interesting question. I don't fancy changing all my clothing anytime soon at least haha.
