? vegans why no honey

[Guest guest]

Yes, that is about the gist of it.

Some bees are harmed in the collection

of honey and vegans feel that it is also

exploiting bees to steal their honey.

This actually seems to be a somewhat debated issue

within the Vegan community. There seem to be quite a

few people who are strictly Vegan, except for the

honey.

 

I try to avoid it for the most part (although I am not

a strict Vegan; rather I'm a vegetarian who

consciously tries to limit animal products in my diet

and home), but it's really hard to find a tasty

commercially produced whole grain bread that doesn't

have honey in it.

 

Anyway, for more information on why honey isn't Vegan,

try this site:

In any case, here is a website

Sadly for vegans or wannabee-almost-as-good-as vegans, even soygurt

contains honey, as do most 'sweet' things for the health-conscious

and/or vegetarian consumer - 'to avoid the refined sugar', I'm told. I

put blackstrap molasses in my rye bread and pumpernickle but honey or a

little sugar in my other breads.

 

Best,

Pat
