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.
They also feed ground animal remains to animals. They also feed animal waste to plants.
Those friggging animals are everywhere!!!
(Except my trusted neighbourhood farm, they even use vegan fertiliser)
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.

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.
