Not talking about eating meat, that’s vegetarianism. Many animals eat grass or waste products, like chickens and pigs.

Veganism as a rejection of all animal products and services, is a full embrace of petroleum.

But petroleum isn’t just plants, it also includes organic matter from animal corpses. Think before you say these things, Mitch.

  It’s a shower thought not a thesis.
  
  Vegans reject wool and feathers because of animal servitude. The alternative is synthetic polyester fiber.
  
  Vegans reject draft animals and horse riding in favor of internal combustion.
  
  Vegans reject natural local animal trans fats for coconut and palm oil shipped around the world by burning oil, and sometimes harvested by monkey slaves anyway.

    In SE Asia, you can find fruit or coconut vendors that you give the money to and then they send a monkey up to pick whatever off the tree for you.
    
    I don’t know how well compensated or how well treated the monkey is, but I would hope the monkey feels it has a cushy life.

    LOL yes, even from here you can smell reddit. Say the sky is blue and somebody will object because it’s not ways, and maybe even go down a rabbit hole because the sky includes outer space, which is black, and also glowing stars of many colors. And ur mom!
