Is it ok to eat dairy, when there is a meat by-product?

[kibbleforlola]

They said they posted one in vegetarian and one in vegan sub forums to get the opinions of each group.

Perhaps there should be a sticky or a note in the welcome thread that states that the majority of us post the "new threads" button, so multiple threads isn't necessary for maximum exposure.

Just FYI, the OP asked to be terminated, so that's what I have done.

Oops. Well, my lawyer has advised me not to comment further. I just hope the judge will show leniency as English is my second language after all. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has made this mistake.

 

[Blobbenstein]

it's ok, these things happen.

We could just say he died for the cause.

Da fuq i just read...seriously.

 

[peacefulveglady]

When I read this now I am not sure if I am reading this from the Vegan section or the Vegetarian section good grief LOL

 

[Blobbenstein]

Do you think it could become acceptable for us (vegetarians) to eat veal because it would mean that

I'm still waiting to find out what vegetarians eating veal would mean.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Im not even sure I understand the Thread title...

Is it ok to eat dairy when there is a meat byproduct...
Meat byproduct....
Meat..

 

[Blobbenstein]

meat by product= veal, and killed old dairy cows.

 

[Alice-Bee]

I cant wrap my head around why dairy should suddenly be ok to eat because there is a MEAT byproduct. Unless thats not what OP was asking?

 

[Blobbenstein]

No, he meant 'IF'.

Is it ok to eat dairy, IF there is a meat by-product?

 

[Alice-Bee]

Yes. I get that...Im not explaining myself well.

Why would vegetarians, who dont eat meat, be ok with the fact their dairy produces meat byproducts?

Im not sure what the point in the question is?

 

[Blobbenstein]

I mean, he was saying as dairy lead to animals being killed is it really vegetarian to consume dairy.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Right..got you now. Either I was being slow or the question was badly worded.

In a perfect world everyone would be vegan because of course many aspects of vegetarianism result in animal death (chickens and male chicks for the egg industry, bees for honey etc) Its not limited to the dairy industry is it?

 

[peacefulveglady]

So milk products are by pr0ducts of meat ?

 

[Blobbenstein]

The dairy industry's main product is dairy, but that leads to unwanted calves, and old cows who are no longer needed, so meat is the by product.

The veal industry was created because of the dairy industry - a way to make money off of unwanted, "useless" calves. No dairy industry, no veal industry.
