Plants are fed to animals, and then those animals are butchered.

    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.
