This question was removed unfairly before, so I’m going to give it a second wind.
o0o secretkessa i know where you plagiarized that from! I go on wikihow too!

Question:
Do you make your consumer choices in a way that only prevents yourself from consuming (or using) products that have animal/animal by-products in them, or do you try to avoid companies all together who have product lines that are not vegan?

I know everyone is different and has their personal reasons for being vegan, but I am wondering if it is okay for animals to be slaughtered for food and clothing, as long as you do not participate?

I ask because I was looking into a lot of the vegan products that are out there on the market today, and most of them are owned by larger companies (like Kraft) who are not vegan at all … and I was wondering if there are vegans who will not purchase from such companies as they don’t want their money going to those types of companies .. as even if you buy their vegan products, you are still basically supporting them.

This is all very wordy and I am not sure I have even expressed what I am curious about. I am not trying to start a debate or anything … do you not mind that animals are used as long as you do not use them, or do you mind so much that you would avoid any company that uses animals in any of their lines?

Like .. would you buy a veggie plate at KFC if they offered it?

Question:
Well, I’ve been wondering about something for a while. I know slaughter houses are extremely inhumane, yet if a vegan were to bring this up and go on about it, they’d be considered some crazy vegan fanatic. But my question is, why shouldn’t vegans, or even vegetarians, be defensive about their life stye and preach about animal rights?

It’s just so wrong what slaughter houses do. I know we’re supposed to respect other people and their diets, but why should we? Why should we be supportive and not care that our friends contribute to a very inhumane industry? And why shouldn’t vegans rant on about animal rights? I know to some people animals don’t mean much, but at one time blacks didn’t mean much to others either. (I know, extreme analogy to some, but it works)

So to simplfy, my main question is why should vegans or vegetarians accept other people’s life style even when vegans/vegetarians know that those others choose to contribute to inhumane industries? (i.e. meat, leather, etc.)
kate r: Who ever said I didn’t care about what else goes on in the world? That doesn’t even have anything to do with the question.

Oh, and I never said I thought everyone should stop eating meat. I myself would never eat it, but if a person owned their own farm and did everything humanely, I wouldn’t care.
Yes, animals do kill other animals in ways that aren’t seen as humane, but they don’t keep them cramped up their whole life in filthy warehouses where they suffer daily abuse. I don’t even understand how people can compare animals kill other animals to what people do to animals in slaughterhouses. I could understand comparing it to people who go out hunting though, and I wouldn’t criticize people who hunt.

How you or anyone can simply say there’s nothing ethically wrong with keeping animals locked up in filthy little cages force fed hormones, antibiotics, and sometimes even other dead animals for their whole life before inhumanely killing them is beyond me.

Question:
You may hold this belief that we exist only to try to convert you and make you feel bad and inferior about your decisions, whereas out of the hundreds of vegetarians and vegans I’ve talked to, not a single one meets this criteria.

Lots of you consistently come into this part of Yahoo answers and post answers talking about “enjoying a juicy bloody steak” or the likes.

People hold this idea that vegetarians are evil because PETA throws out these absurd campaigns to try and convert people while almost 90% of the individual vegetarians don’t even support PETA.

From all of the veggies I’ve met, none of them are the kind of “zealots” that people talk about and none of them try to convert people.

So for those trolls and/or angry people out there, why do you insist upon mocking vegetarians who keep to themselves and follow a personal philosophy that does not affect anyone else but themselves?

Question:
1. Why in most raw dessert recipes is carob usually used instead of chocolate? For instance Fudge made with carob instead- is carob considered more “raw” or processed differently so considered more healthy?
2. Is a dehydrator absolutly necessary or is there another way to dry out food?
3. Any recipe books with easy raw recipes that you would recommend? I am finding raw recipes a bit complicated!
Thanks!
Regarding #1, what I mean is it not okay to use cocoa powder instead of carob which is not chocolate?
Question:
I have been a vegetarian for about a year, and I am ready to make the next step and become a vegan. I’ve ready plenty about it and I have done my research, but I would love to hear the benefits that people have experienced first-hand.
