The cynical part of me says that it's pure marketing fluff - like labelling a Turkey as "gluten free" or a bottle of fruit juice as "fat free".

So it looks like TC made a bigger deal about that than L. does in its own materials. It's not on the home page for example, which is mainly about "feel the difference" and testimonials and the donation aspect.

So in the near future, instead of "no animals were harmed during production of this video" we'll have vegan movies? :).
In a way, maybe it's good that we have one word for the concept.

Is human milk vegan? Maybe we can make things with it?
This was a vegan comment.

Human milk is vegan if extracted consensualy...for some definition of consent that is left as an exercise to the reader.

Haven't people already called digital vegetarian because it doesn't use gelatin film?
