    Life is killing. We are food and we eat food.
    Besides plants and mushrooms are alive too.

    im a sort of vegan, ie; no animal products except for dairy. id say the best advice i can give you would be to find a list of E numbers* sorted by vegan suitability. i can assure you that just because an ingredient sounds artificial or herbal, doesnt mean it is.

    I dont eat meat, only seafood. But I am conscious its inhumane to be feeding on other living creatures!

    Vegans cant eat bread? Whats in white bread that makes it not right for vegans to eat?

    They are. Plants and mushrooms have a much lower form of life though than animals. I remember when we had to kill a cow ( she had a serious microbial infection, wont go into details) she knew she was going to die. I could see the awareness in her eyes, and she was crying.

    Yeah I know. I worked for a poultry industry. Chickens die of stress too you know. you could lose loads of money if you are not careful.

    Shorty 37, you are SO right about the low budget movie...LOL!

    bread doesnt actually contain animal products(other than those specifically stated in the ingredients) but in some breads the chemical L-cysteine(currently sourced from chicken feathers) is used as a flour improver and evapourates out of the bread during baking, making it exempt from ingredient listings.

    so while animals were killed in the process, there arent any animal products in the finished product; leaving it up to your own moral standards as to whether it is acceptable.

    sugar is quite similar; some white sugars are purified using bone ash, so while you are buying pure sugar, it is possible that animals were killed to produce it. if you want to stay safe on this one you're best to stick with brown or natural sugars, although if you have the time to call up the producer they can probably tell you whether they purify their sugar through this process.

    Why does being a vegan sound so much like being deeply religous?

    Well, it is deeply irrational, no?
