Maybe a better case study would be figs since people actually eat those. From what I'm seeing in search results there is some difference of opinion, but maybe the prevailing opinion is that figs are fine for vegans because they are not intentionally exploitative or cruel to animals.
I'm not vegan but I won't eat figs because of what you're touching on here. (I just find it gross.)
I just did an Internet search. Today I learned. Still not sure I wish I did. πΆ
Look up cochineal and you'll stop eating lots of red/pink food coloring as well.
Itβs fucking bizarre is what it is. Itβs like something out of Prometheus.
Figs and wasps are in a mutually beneficial relationship. Fly traps kill flies. Veganism is about suffering.
