    So my wife went vegan for a bit and the logic is basically any living thing we take advantage of or make their lives more of a labor. So eggs, honey, milk aren’t vegan because companies put those animals in situations they normally wouldn’t be in in the wild to take advantage and harvest products from them.

      Yeah, some vegans draw the line at the animal kingdom. (Plants, algae, mushrooms - these are all living things as well, but one has to eat something.) Some vegans I know do eat honey though. It depends on what feels like animal exploitation to the person.

        Can’t digest food. The only reason those trillions of living organisms in your gut microbiome are doing it is you’re keeping them enslaved by being their sole food source. Way to practice monopolistic practices on a entirely isolated living ecosystem!

      Bees are a symbol of labour. You couldn’t make them work harder if you tried. European honey bees collect far more nectar than they will ever eat, it’s like they’re planning for fimbulwinter

      So what exactly is the problem with using honey?

        Bro you’re barking up the wrong tree. I was providing information to a question. Regardless of your stance, the statement I made still stands. Talk to a vegan, that’s their belief. I’m not even vegan.
