But It’s Not Perfect And It’s Not My Only Consideration Regarding Ethical Food - Blog Posts

This is why I eat honey as a vegan: not because I don’t value insects as animals, but because it is generally not produced through cruelty. In general, the bees can leave if they’re being mistreated. I have no problem enjoying the fruits of their labor, because they’re getting something out of it (a sheltered hive, defense and support from human beekeepers, et cetera) and they can leave. It’s not “eating/using something that comes from an animal” that’s the problem, it’s harming or mistreating the animal to get it that I take issue with.

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

honey veganism I love bees katlyn post rebugged also yes there is harm done by vegan foods I try to eat as sustainably and ethically as possible but I am far from perfect Eating mostly vegan is a rule I have for myself that I think reduces the harm done by my consumption of food but it’s not perfect and it’s not my only consideration regarding ethical food Or you know less harmful at least And yes honey bees are non-native in the US and we should also be supporting native pollinators! “Save the bees” is more about those native bees
