What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn’t heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

    Wait, why is there no logic in there? Insects are animals, and honey is made by bees, which are insects and thus animals.

    If you believe you shouldn’t use animals for your food production, which is a reasonable definition of veganism, then you shouldn’t eat honey.

    I mean, fine if you do eat honey too, but I don’t really see your point here.

        You might be mixing up vegetarianism and veganism. Vegans also don’t drink milk or eat eggs. You don’t need to kill a cow or a chicken to get either.

          You don’t need to kill a cow or a chicken to get either.

          You kinda do though, at least if you’re purchasing those products. Male chickens and calves definitely have to be killed to sustain those industries.

            You’re not wrong, but it’s kinda besides the point in this argument about honey not being vegan.

              I agree, but originally the question was about cheese and eggs. The honey argument came a bit out of nowhere tbh.
