Take a look at <a href="http://perezhilton.com/fitperez/2010-10-26-interesting-picture#.WyzYHCB9jDc" rel="nofollow">all the products people regularly make from slaughtered cows!</a><br /><br />(h/t to <a href="http://www.dairymoos.com/no-such-thing-as-a-vegan/" rel="nofollow">Dairy Moos</a>)<br /><br />And I'll add to that, just in case you came up with plastic as the answer: as we all know, plastics are made from petroleum; and see <a href="http://www.mining.com/web/how-oil-is-formed/" rel="nofollow"> how petroleum is formed.</a> <br /><br />Now, tell me you're going to be able to separate the animal from the plant in the plastic...right? Not if you contemplate your computer or even a disposable plastic cup.<br /><br />Let's see, what else: wood burns and <a href="https://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/survivalist/2011/11/survival-foods-can-you-really-eat-tree-bark" rel="nofollow">only a certain part of tree bark is edible</a> (Can you imagine if everybody ate it, though. We'd never have forests again. And would the eating of vegetation be forbidden as a result of something like this?). I recently saw an ad turning back to glass containers as an ecological alternative to plastic because it turns out that we're polluting the earth even worse with plastic than before...where does it end?<br /><br />So far, if you are a vegan - which means you don't use animal products at all, much less eat them - you're out of luck.HDG, Yerushalayim, E"Y Shlemahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943174572566458612noreply@blogger.com
