You don't even have to go vegan. You can just go vegetarian.
It's also extremely effective. Seems like people just forget it exists.
I'm vegetarian mostly to save money but if someone gifts me meat? I won't be wasting it.
But think of the bees!
People who know nothing about beekeeping and the fact that it is important to preserving the endangered species that are bees:
I have been told by many vegans that honey and sugar are not allowed, as they are both animal products. Apparently sugar is refined by using cattle bones. They told me you can use agave nectar instead.
Honey is fine honestly. Only miseducated people would be against the use of honey as honey harvesting causes 0 damage to the hive and beekeeping actually helps save bee populations. The alternative is not helping the bees, which are already endangered.
On sugar I agree though. Sugar can come from many sources and generally you wanna cut out sugar anyway since it's not healthy.
