From Naomi Elias Seaford, East Sussex, UK
As a vegan of 10 years' standing, I can assure Anthony Warner that the majority of us are animal rights advocates first and vegan as a consequence (26 August, p 24). I am certainly not vegan because of diet or health – though there are health advantages to not eating flesh. So Warner's criticism of the film What the Health is beside the point for me.
My diet is not a choice; it's a consequence of my vegan way of life: a way of living and of seeing the world. Some might call it more of a religion than a food choice.
