Can vegans take medication?

This is a question that I see asked a lot on online forums. There seems to be this (rather toxic) attitude to veganism that it is an 'all or nothing' approach, which is obviously not always suitable. It also isn't helpful. If you feel that you are able to completely avoid animal products in every … Continue reading Can vegans take medication?
