This is an extensive list of animal and vegetable derived products that are in our food, know when you read it that each item was derived from something and there was a chemical process that took place somewhere in a factory... I would reckon that far more around us can be attributed to animal byproducts and chemical processes (vegan or not) than anyone would think, whether it be an ingredient in that paint you bought or in a car or a piece of furniture. In my eyes animals are least renewable as opposed to petroleum products (remember those veggies we all eat are produced all over the world with tractors and fuel). I am a farmer, I eat vegetables I grew and for me I am killing them I am yanking them from the earth and stopping them from having babies living out their life and dying a natural death, when I think about what Im doing I feel bad about it but we all gotta eat and Im here to tell you that plants do feel, it all feels...even dirt, its all alive. I raise, nurse and butcher my own meat oftentimes meat that was killed by a vehicle sometimes meat that I killed protecting my animals. All of life on earth eats someone. Some animals eat meat and some eat plants but the soil that grew those plants is also made upon the tiny deaths of many, some plants kill bugs, some plants kill animals. No matter what you eat, wear, live in, upon or around the important thing is to learn. Acknowledge that all life is connected and intertwined...and have absolute gratitude, amazement and respect for it. I strongly support folks rights to their opinions and mine...but its important to recognize that unless your living in a hole in the ground (and even then) your entire existence is build on the outright domination and killing of nature, the only difference is that we are aware of it. We can do better we are changing things, we are waking up and that is beautiful. Eat Local and Be Thoughtful! veganpeace/ingredients/ingredients.htm
