As is the case for any lifestyle choice, there are tons of myths about veganism. I'm going to address two.
-
-
Vegetables are grown with fertilizer. And the fertilizer itself isn't always vegan. But that's not all.
-
If you've ever harvested a carrot, for example, you know that you're disrupting the soil to do so. In that process, you're killing insects.
-
And that's if you're harvesting by hand. At this point, large machines help in harvesting. And they kill small critters in the process.
-
I know most people have never lived on farms. But if you have, you'll know how many insects and animals for when we produce vegetables.
-
I respect that people are vegetarians and vegan. But I don't assume they always know basic facts about what motivates them to do so.
-
Same goes for meat eaters, too. There're a ton of dilemmas around meat consumption—the difference, I think, is that that's usually assumed.
