Hmm, i know this is probably sarcasm.
Real question though, does animal based fertiliser have an actual impact on vegan choices ?
I hadn't even considered it until just now.
It’s only partly sarcasm. This farm uses only plant based fertilisers, but I guess it’s hard to find out if the food in the supermarket is completely animal free. Buuuut… I don’t know that much about vegan food sources.
ah, that's my bad for not properly phrasing my question.
Like how, "bacon = not vegan" and "cheese = not vegan" and "honey=controversy, for some reason".
Is there some sort of ruling passed down from the vegan starchamber that says "animal fertiliser grown plants = not vegan" or is it not a common enough consideration to have an agreed upon consensus?
I always thought: If X depends on taking advantage of animals, X is not Vegan. But I guess there are people out there who consider themselves vegan because they avoid X if X requires to actively harm animals.
And as I said, I‘m not Vegan so who am I to judge.
Yeah don't they have vegan leather? So I think as long as there is no suffering involved, vegans are cool with it.
I always think of vegan as a spectrum, (many of the best things are a spectrum).
With sliding scales in there for stuff like morals, ethics, culture, circumstance etc.
Once you hit a threshold of vegan traits you're a real™ vegan.
My judgement on this is also suspect, so ymmv.
