## Debate 1

### Proposition:

>Veganism is impossible

1. What is meant by "veganism" here?
2. On what modality is veganism impossible? 
	1. sounds like a deontic modality
	2. If veganism is deontologically impossible, it must be in virtue of some other impossibility that constrains action.
	3. On what modality is it impossible to casually stroll without causing animal suffering?
3. Why is it assumed that veganism is a deontological thesis?
	1. If it's not assumed that veganism is a deontological thesis, then what's the argument that the action of walking is less compatible with vegan principles than not walking?

### Clarified Proposition:
