I’m pretty sure most of everything you could possibly ever eat (even “chemicals”) comes from something alive, so the alternative would be starvation.
if it’s not made from animals, plants or fungi then from single celled organisms like bacteria and slime mold.
and veganism isn’t just a blind disagreement with eating one kingdom of biology, it’s a means to reduce harm, suffering, exploitation and killing. of course other kingdoms are alive, and in case we make it and sometime in the future we can somehow find viable, plentiful, cheap dead sources of all our nutrients there might be people who want to switch to those exclusively, but right now i think it’s a fairly measured movement.
