    I didn’t want to go into it in the original comment, but yes. It is a relevant debate whether it’s vegan to swallow another humans semen, or even saliva. And yes, it is, if the human consents. Consent is the more or less the basis of whether vegans find it moral to consume something. Humans can give consent to sharing their fluids. Other animals cannot.

    Bees make honey for their hive. Honey also does indeed contain bodily fluids from the bees.

    The bread making human consents to you taking the bread (presumably). Breast milk and other human bodily fluids can be vegan for the same reason.

    And insects pollinate plants not because they use the fruit, but for the nectar. They don’t care what happens after they leave the flower.



  • Try to order pickup, if you can go by the restaurant on foot/bike/public transit and physically/mentally can. Not just because of traffic reduction, but also because those delivery apps are usually super predatory and get away with paying sub minimum wage through some legal gaps.

    If deliveries by car can be a small part in making it possible and comfortable for some individual to forgo owning a personal car, it’s still a net plus. A major chunk of the environmental damage a car does is in its production. Taxis are better than individual cars for the same reason. Also, they’re usually not delivering only one meal at a time, like you would if you drove there yourself.
