Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hey guys I have a question but it might sound silly. I know vegans don't eat eggs or any dairy products, but what about if the 'products' (ie eggs or milk) come from a farm down the street or a neighbor where you know they practice safe farming and aren't just going to kill the animals when they are done with them and things like that. Is it based on how the animals are treated? Or is it the idea of it being an animal product in general? Or does it depend on the person? Curious... Thanks. -Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 My understanding of being a vegan (I am not) is that regardless how humane it may be, a vegan does not eat any animal products/by-products (including honey) nor do they wear leather, use leather products or any product made from animal. It would be similar if someone calls themself a vegetarian, but they eat chicken. My DH and I do buy eggs from a lady down the street from us, and we do buy milk from a local dairy although neither are " certified " organic, they practice in humane and sustainable agricultural ways. And we feel fine with those choices that we have made for ourselves. Denise , " budgiegirl2003 " <budgiegirl2003> wrote: > Hey guys I have a question but it might sound silly.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 thanks for the reply. I'm personally vegetarian but am thinking when I return back to the us to have (inspired by 'meatout mondays) a day where i eat vegan and maybe one day become totally so. I'm finding many ways to do so nutritionally so am excited (plus i've always liked the taste of soy milk over cow/goat milk anyway even as a kid). But I'm currently still sorting out my thoughts and opinions on things, specifically this topic since I know people that will be living nearby who run a farm and give out extra eggs. If anyone would like to email me personally (so as not to start any intense discussion here ) feel free to do so. Also I've always loved soy milk because I can leave it out on my counter until I open it but what about non-dairy 'cheese'? I've never tried it-is it the same idea? Sorry so many questions but you guys always answer my questions excellently! -Katie , " organic_homestead " <organic_homestead> wrote: > My understanding of being a vegan (I am not) is that regardless how > humane it may be, a vegan does not eat any animal products/by- products > (including honey) nor do they wear leather, use leather products or > any product made from animal. > > It would be similar if someone calls themself a vegetarian, but they > eat chicken. > > My DH and I do buy eggs from a lady down the street from us, and we do > buy milk from a local dairy although neither are " certified " organic, > they practice in humane and sustainable agricultural ways.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Bone Char is often used when refining cane sugar. , " Mindy-n-Shawn " <hunnybunns4233 wrote: > > Group, > > I am hoping to make my first ever vegan cake for someone's birthday this week. However, I was going through the files and I see it says to use a vegan sugar? I am a little confused. What is in sugar that would make it not vegan and how do I know if mine is vegan? Thanks so much for helping me out on this. > > Hugs, > Mindy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
