Why is honey non vegan?


Posted by sheryl w.

I have heard lots of different reasons why honey is non vegan. It is because we are stealing honey from the bees. Can anyone expand on this?

Just check out Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie! Isn't vegan about eating no animal by-product, products? At all?

I can tell you this much, honey is the bees vomit and it is not meant for us to consume internally. Although, honey is excellent for external purposes, such as, wounds and skin.

Being vegan originally was about being ethical towards all the sentient beings who we share the Earth with.  It's come to mean a varying plethora of things to many people as it's been diluted over the last century. We now have a strange idea that we can be vegetarian and still eat chicken or fish for instance (never having met a vegetable animal I find this interesting to say the least). Simply put - any person who chooses to eat a diet that contains animal products is a vegetarian and not a vegan, and any person who chooses to eat anything that has a face and a central nervous system is an omnivore not a vegetarian if we're to use the strictest definition.
