The wasp is completely digested. Does my car’s gas tank contain dinosaur biomass? Not really, it’s been chemically transformed.

  To be fair, "dinosaur biomass" would be innacurate, but "biomass-derived fuel" is a perfectly fine description that you'll find in a lot of places.

    By that logic what would you call manure? Vegans are going to have a very hard time this way!

      A) manure is plant biomass, not animal B) anyway, you don't eat manure C) anyway, vegans are fine with figs so the whole thing is a strawman

        Nitpick: Most manure used in agriculture is primarily composed of animal feces, which isn't strictly made of just plant matter.

        Vegans avoid any animal products, not just the animal's flesh. They don't want any animals held captive. Manure is definitely an animal by-product and it's collected from domesticated animals, so manure is not vegan in the same way a facial cream derived from milk would not be vegan. I don't really know to what extent manure is used to fertilize these days though.
