"NO" blood?

Eggs, fish, milk, etc. are all animal products, all may be considered to be "blood" to some degree.

Leather is made from the skins of animals, I can very nearly guarantee she uses or consumes "blood" in some manner nearly every day.

And that's your rationale for being so rude to her?

She's allowed her opinion and one would think that *here*, of all places, her opinion wouldn't be summarily mauled by those who don't hold to the same.


If you want to get really techinical, even a complete "vegan" who reads a book is guilty of "blood on their hands" because quite a lot of books are bound with hide glue.

People would be amazed at the unexpected places "animal by-products" will pop up if you're willing to pick things apart to their individual atoms, as it were.



You can get utterly ridiculous with the issue, if you're so inclined.

Personally, I'm not.

Yes it's true that eggs,fish, milk are animals and animal products. They're not blood BUT I'd not want to drink milk from a factory cow. I don't wear leather or fur. It's not my style. If you want to discuss further I can talk in freepmail. Otherwise, that's pretty much what I believe and practice.
