Honey isn’t vegan. They present a compelling case
- compelling or false and misleading?imbecile
- I once convinced a newly-vegan friend as much, pretty much by accident. Daft fool stopped eating the stuff.Nairn
- It started off as a Devil's Advocate defence of bull-fighting (hey, i'm contrarian) and ended up with him stopping eating honey.
*shrugNairn - I always assumed it wasn't vegan because it's an animal byproduct and exploits animals whether there is or isn't torture involved.deadsperm
- Equally, farmed vegetables aren't vegan because they exploit human beings. I don't see an ontological distinction between homo sapiens and other animals.deadsperm
- Humans are not an exception, we are as much part of nature as everything on this earth.deadsperm
- And don't ask me about dinosaurs!deadsperm

- i had a moan to a beekeeper about this and she agreed - the bees make honey for themselves not us, and she has to keep them alive with glucosehans_glib
- after she harvests the honey. made me think for a moment, then i decided that wth, beekeepers know what they're doing, and tucked into another jar.hans_glib
- after all it's not in the beekeeper's interest to kill their bees, is it? exploiting them tho, that's fine.hans_glib
- meat. good enough for every carnivore / omnivore except humans. —petaimbecile
- Perhaps that has something to do with CCD? Glucose solutions alone shouldn't really sustain a diet, no?Nairn
