Developed a passion for vegetarianism recently after watching a documentary that changed my views on meat-eating. I love the fact that it protects animals because of the individual abstaining from meat consumption.
i love meat i could never stop eating it
I can respect that. There are some who are just naturally indoctrinated into abstaining from eating the meat of sentient beings, because of codified ethical motivations through religious beliefs.
Yeah my girlfriend is vegan so i respect tht
Yeah, I haven't quite delved into Veganism, since it includes abstaining from all animal products. I have trouble giving up eggs and dairy. She'd also have to get rid of using beeswax, leather/silk clothing--anything and everything made from animals. It can be pretty restricting.
So some people wont even use chapstick?
If it was made through the use of animals or what they produce, then no. Even process/packaged food like cakes/cookies/yogurt/marshmallows.. those things you would think would be okay, they could have unfamiliar animal ingredients that could slip past people if they don't pay attention. For those who want to maintain utmost ethical adherence to supporting animals, it's troublesome for them to avoid.
That is very interesting tell me more
Well, in the case of your girlfriend, she may be either plainly a "dietary vegan" who refrain from consuming animal-derived substances, or an "ethical vegan," who follow a vegan diet but pull that philosophy into other areas of her life. This may affect you and what you can share/do with her.
