If I drink my blood am I still a vegan?
So you are asking that if you drink your OWN blood are you still Vegan? Of course.If you drink the blood of another human with their consent? YES. It’s no different than someone swallowing a BJ.If you drink the blood of another human without their consent? Yes, still Vegan but totally a pervert and probably a criminal. (Veganism is about human treatment of non-human animals —- not how humans treat other humans)If you drink the blood of an animal? Definitely NOT Vegan.Hope that helps.
Am I still vegan if I kill spiders?
Here's what the Vegan Society (the guy who founded it is the same guy who coined the term "vegan," so I think this definition is probably pretty good) has to say about veganism: "Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose." If you go by that definition, then killing an animal for fun is definitely non-vegan. So is killing an animal because you find it unsightly, icky, scary, or otherwise unpleasant. In short, killing spiders because you dislike them is distinctly non-vegan, even if you're arachnophobic. It is quite possible and practical to not go out of your way to kill a harmless spider. Veganism is about more than what you eat. It's a whole-life kind of thing. There are many alternatives to killing a spider. I usually scoop it up (use a glass and a notecard. . . those magazine subscription things work well) and put it outside. You can ask your mom/dad/boyfriend to do it if needs be. Now, if these spiders were actually toxic enough that they were putting your family in danger, that's a different situation. That's self-preservation. Just like you get a pass for taking medication that was tested on animals if it is the only thing that keeps you from dying, you get a pass on killing a poisonous spider that's going to bite you or your child. That being said, if your house is actually overrun by brown recluse spiders or black widows, I'd call a professional exterminator. If the spiders are actually dangerous and numerous, you'll want to make sure that they're fully eradicated, eggs and all.
If I am Vegan, can I still drink coconut milk?
I have this friend, and she's totally into this whole Vegan thing. So, I figured I'd give it a try so that I could be healthier and have more energy throughout the day. But I was wondering if I could still drink coconut milk, since Vegan's are all against drinking milk and everything- it's probably not allowed, right? I only want to know because coconut milk is supposed to be really good for your skin.. thanks!
Why do people still make jokes about vegans?
First of all ignore all of their free advices, taunts or jokes etc. Its completely a matter of choice, which is independently personal. By these kind of jokes, taunts & advices the non-vegans encourage you to become non-vegan. Its universally happen if you are identical who thinks different, in majority of same thinkers. So ignorance is bliss & do what you like.
How are you vegan if you still eat cheese and drink milk?
There’s no law defining “vegan” and whether or not you can call yourself that. If you want to call yourself a “pork-eating vegan” then go ahead. I’m serious, there are quite a few people who call themselves vegan but won’t give up bacon.There are also some vegans who eat oysters, and they are not stupid nor ignorant. Quite to the contrary they came to the decision that because oysters have no brains, and no sense of pain, with a less sophisticated nervous system than many plants have, their reason for not eating animals doesn’t apply to oysters, as you can read about in this article in Slate magazine.Many people identify with veganism because they don’t want to have animals killed for their food, but many animals are killed for other reasons for instance accidentally hitting a deer with a car, and thus they don’t object to eating road kill.Now the much more difficult question is: How can the so-called hardline vegan reconcile having a salad that contained over 1400 living animals each of which was killed in the process? This is 1400 times as many animals killed as for a lunch of steak for several hundred people. Read about it in Scientific American:I Hate to Break it to You, but You Already Eat Bugs
Do vegans spit or swallow semen?
Is this a joke? Of course we swallow- how else would we get nourishment? We don't live on sunshine and air, as perhaps you are implying. We ingest calories, including protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and fats like everyone else, we just get our food from plants instead of animals, so there is no killing, suffering, or bloodshed involved. We like not contributing to suffering, pain, and death as well as helping to keep our bodies and the planet cleaner and healthier! Every nutrient humans need is abundant in the plant kingdom, including Vitamin B12 if you eat organic, lightly washed produce and/ or nutritional yeast, tempeh, and seaweed. However, to be on the safe side in today's modern culture, it's recommended that vegans take a Vitamin B-12 supplement. Many people ask how vegans get their protein, thinking only animal products have protein. In reality, vegetables have lots of protein, as do nuts, seeds, beans, nutritional yeast, whole grains, buckwheat, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, nut butters, hummus, etc. Get yourself a good vegan cookbook and join the movement- you'll feel better, and so will the animals and the planet!
Am I still a vegan if I eat honey and wear leather?
You’re the one holding yourself accountable to this.While no one is ever perfect, and ‘stuff happens’ and sometimes you bought the bread, and you didn’t know there was honey in it, and so on and so forth.Personally, I think you’re vegan until you start routinely making excuses for yourself.If I eat bread with honey in it (usually on occasions where someone is trying to be helpful and buy me ‘vegan bread’ that is absent everything except honey) I’m aware of what I’m doing, and I don’t feel good about it. I forgive myself and move on.But if I find myself routinely buying bread with honey in it, and shrugging and saying “oops” and pretending I didn’t know, then I don’t really care anymore.And I’m thus not really vegan. Not under the current standards to which I hold myself to account.Part of the idea of veganism is that your own taste or convenience aren’t supposed to be placed over the life of another animal. When necessary, or in cases of self-defense, sure, but only when absolutely necessary, when you don’t have any other choice.Once you’ve moved from occasional, accidental, or “one off” situations to a regular occurrence that you excuse on the basis of, “Yeah, but how much harm does that really do to just a few bees?” or even, “Yeah, but that leather was already harvested from an animal, what difference does it make if I buy it?” you have (at least by my standards) stopped being vegan.You are still taking without consent, and for another animal it’s a matter of life and death.When you start giving yourself that right again, to take without consent from another animal, you’ve stopped truly being vegan.But you’re the one holding yourself to account. If you’ve got leather shoes from before you went vegan, go ahead and wear them.But if you buy leather shoes after going vegan, when there are alternatives, then you need to confront that. That doesn’t mean you aren’t vegan anymore, but if you’re letting yourself off the hook for it and making an excuse, you need to get real with yourself.
