At least "buzzbee" is trying to sell you his product - like "try this, we worked so very hard to make it!".

I honestly can't say that about sugar bear. I hate him - he's so SMUG and condescending, that whole "yeah, I'm just so much *better* than you". Heck, there's even a commercial of him just casually strolling into a woman's home, breaking open her safe, and waltzing out with sugar crisps.

I think Zach Parsons sums him up better than I...

I had my fair share of half-hearted debates with a vegan ex about how "stealing" honey from the bees kept in apiaries is fine, bees make honey and we protect them from natural predators; it's a pretty okay deal. I choose to believe that the bees don't really mind it, but we'll never know I guess.

To exist is to cause harm to other things. Eating a carrot means that something else can't eat that carrot. In that excessively broad sense nothing can be "vegan" except suicide.

It's okay to try to minimize the harm we cause to other things but, man, I can't really bring myself to care about the feelings of a bee. Life is hard enough without beating myself up over the emotional turmoil of insects. I don't go around pulling the legs off of spiders but there's a limit to my empathy

I recall the first time I encountered this sort of thinking (and I mostly eat vegetarian myself) someone yelled at me about how processed sugar was filtered through BONES!!! then her boyfriend started talking about "breatharianism" (look it up) and how one dude he knew went on a fast and poo poo a ball of mercury that weighed like 35 pounds :wtc: They soon left that job to go on summer tour with the Grateful Dead. Glad I took them to dinner at a Bob Evans in retrospect.

Sugar processed from sugar cane uses bone char to filter it to make the sugar white. I believe most sugar up here in Canada is processed from sugar beets which does not go through that filtering process.

Not as crazy as it sounds compared to breatharianism!

i believe the official vegan council ruling is that breast milk and semen are both vegan if obtained with consent so i don't see why this wouldn't apply to all human-derived products

I'm vegetarian and make art from bones, sure the ethics are a touch dodgy, but what isn't? I could make art from plastic or resin (which are vegan I guess), but imo that is way worse. I think a little flexibility can actually go a long way. Allowing myself to work with bones is reducing demand for heavily processed hydro-carbons. I avoid palm oil because of how bad that is for the environment, but it is also vegan.

Just a little reality check though, I never run into these insane vegans I'm always being told about, despite being an artist. Holy hell though if I mention I can't eat something, suddenly it is being shoved in my face by grown rear end adults like they are 3 year olds. It doesn't matter the setting, if it comes up some meat eater acts like I've just murdered their child because I turned down a chicken wing. Eat what you want, but don't go after other people for what they eat. We're all out here trying to do our best.

Edit: Just now realizing that I went vegetarian because of some GBS 1 month challenge in the 2000s and never stopped, oops. (I know I know, GBS)
