A random thought I had. I think the answer is no, but I’m not that certain. Convince me please.

    But you cant be 100% full on real vegan?

    Some medicine is made with animal… stuff.

    Glue, fertilizers(for growing vegan food…), and much more.

    Im not vegan but… i dont think its possible anyway.

    Just be nice to the animals and if you can, buy from farms that raise the animals properly (yes these exist, but they are small, and thus more expensive)

      I suppose one can’t be 100% vegan without completely going off grid and producing everything themselves. Modern vegetable farming techniques result in a large insect loss. My used car has leather seats. I can’t afford to buy a new one without them. Medicines these days say if they are vegan or not.

      There is a large difference between causing rape/child theft/murder (dairy) murder (meat) and accidental insect killings though

      Normal fertilisers are vegan, it’s only the organic ones that aren’t.
