But if you’re buying my shit and I’m slurping down footlong glizzies all day, you’re actively contributing to carnism. Same thing with breast milk, if the proteins in that sweet booby beverage came from steak and bacon, that baby may as well be running the slaughterhouse.
The earthworm thing from the first comment is interesting too; since their waste fertilizes the soil, the argument could be made that plants are a worm byproduct and thus not vegan. I mean, I’m sure there are innumerable species of tiny soil-dwelling critters that contribute, worms are just the most familiar/obvious. Interestingly, a lot of produce, especially organic, is grown in soil fertilized with animal manure, so thats all not vegan anyway. Same thing for any plant we eat that requires another species to fertilize it, so say goodbye to 75% of the plants we need to live. And that’s not even counting the plants that require human labor to produce, which is definitely not vegan seeing as the animals in factory farms only have it slightly worse than most of the people working in them.
