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.
Here's one thing I've battled with 'ethical vegans' over. That is bee pollen and honey :-) BTW, I'm used to my conversative brethren 'protests and disagreements' over this issue. I just wish that liberals weren't the ones so pushy about things like organic farming and small,independent farming.
Truth is "rude"?
Truth is simply truth!
