Reply #4: What confounds many people about veganism [View All]

[MonkeyFunk]

is that it's not even about meat - that's a basic tenet. It's about avoiding milk, honey, eggs, certain dyes, shellac, lanolin, gelatin, etc.

The notion that humans can live without using ANY animal products.


My personal feeling is that we should use what's available, doing as little harm as possible. Sheep grow wool... chickens lay eggs... bees make honey. I don't see any sin in using them.

I do eat meat. I try to keep the red meat to a minimum, but I do eat a lot of fowl. I'm thankful for the animals that lived and died for my diet. I also hope that my corpse can be eaten by vultures. The whole "circle of life" thing.
