The largest solar grazing project in the U.S. will reduce mowing costs and emissions — and make for some happy sheep.

    So you won’t eat honey but will eat almonds, even though both are exploiting honey bees? Is because of it being a direct product vs a indirect product of honeybees. Is an in between layer where you draw your line?

      Yes.

      “Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose”

      Avoiding almonds is much less practical then just avoiding animal products. It’s not practical to avoid certain things. For example, lots of sugar is processed with bone char. However, most vegans don’t worry about that. Also some fruit is coated in shellac to look shiny, but it’s not worth worrying about either.

          I’m sure other crops have similar issues. Thats why I mentioned sugar and fruit as well. Mostly vegans just avoid animal products.
