I live with a load of vegan and veggie types and am often amused by the cognitive dissonance in their respective choices.
Animal-loving veggies will often buy cheap-ass eggs and dairy, thereby relegating the animals they don't kill for food into a lifetime of suffering.
Supposed Gaia-worshipping Vegans, on the the other hand, will happily import whatever weight of 'alternate consumer product' from across the otherside of the planet, generating oodles of pollutants and greenhouse gasses. The most egregious example that sticks in mind were the kilos of pink Himalayan Table salt. ffs.
Then there's the amusing side - a friend who turned veggie (after I took them to task for critting bullfighting when they were sitting their chowing down animal product) ultimately gave up honey as he didn't think it was fair on the bees.
I mean, it's probably not, but we're higher up the complexity chain, so fuckit.
