i know honey comes from bees and vegans dont exploit animals? but seriously, bees are not animals and honey can be gathered without hurting bees, if you farmed your own honey as a vegan in a way that bees didnt get hurt would it still be a violation against the vegan SS?
Vegan by definition means plant based diet. Bees are not a plant, and are part of the animal kingdom. And some vegans may have different reasons for being vegan, some is mainly because of animal cruelty, for some it's strictly health based.
Although technically honey isnt vegan, some vegans still eat it, and i don't see where's the problem... definitively not the same as milk for example.. and you could eat organic honey done properly if you want.. but lots of vegan are anal about it and don't necesserly understand all the science behind food therefore they think honey is satan so they don't eat it.
