yea we should really start considering the privacy of the animals. It's a hot topic with humans, so might as well include everyone.

because if you look far enough down the rabbit hole, nothing is vegan. Hence "as far as is possible and practicable". If you are vegan except honey, good for you. If you decide that doesn't fit your worldview/morals, the

sure, but it's not just skin products. The Paleo/Keto/Bulletproof movement is gung-ho on the supposed miracle that is bone broth. From claims that collagen in the diet equals collagen in the body to unique/magical proper

nope, he said something just as absurd in another comment. People get realllly triggered and irrational when confronted with the fact their food is harmful to themselves and the planet.

not sure what point you are trying to make here. Casein is a protein. Sources in our diet come exclusively from mammalian milk. A protein from animal sources = animal protein does it not?

exactly, and "milk" is a good descriptor for consumers: a pale liquid with some viscosity and a mild taste that can be used in the same ways cows milk is used. Usually the only people who complain about calling it "milk"

apple syrup is a processed and concentrated product, so no, I wouldn't say it's that "good". It has been shown[1] that whole fruits/vegetables are not the same as fruit juice/fruit sugar. I didn't mean to

the most nutritionally dense foods in the world are carbs. I know people love to oversimplify and demonize entire macronutrients, but not all carbs/proteins/fats are good/bad. Many carbs are bad due to heavy processing and ad
