If you found seashells on the beach, then grind them up to make a calcium supplement would you suggest that’s not vegan?
I can appreciate not exploiting animals. Where do you draw the line though? DE is the fossilized remains of prehistoric algae. Does it diminish vegan cred to put dead dinosaur in your car? Can vegans wear wool? How about silk?
I invite you to make a new post/threat so you can explain this to me. I have a difficult time imagining how the modern concept of veganism could have existed prior to so much of the non-vegan enabling technologies that make it possible today.
Can vegans own pets? I hope I just misunderstand the application of basic principles.
