Most people aren't saints despite having moral principles. You seem to suggest that people who occasionally drop litter in the streets might as well go out to rape and murder as well. We all sin; keeping sinning low is the next best idea to not sinning at all.
Quite a lot of beer and wine isn't vegetarian either since it is cleared using Isinglass finings which come from the swimbladder of a sturgeon.
Real ale on handpump invariably contains Isinglass but bottled beers are sometimes cleared using other methods.
If you want to know if your favourite ale is vegetarian then look at this very interesting website which contains a list of vegetarian beers and correspondence from brewers:
I think most of us know that. What's your point? Do you want a list of apparently 'vegetarian' items which contain animal by-products? You;d soon get bored.
Probably not. A good number of people get rather animated when presented with the facts of slaughtered animal products in jellies, yoghurts, Polo mints, &c. The possible existence of gelatine in many restaurant sweets comes as a profound shock to many waiters who frequently don't appreciate its genesis. As you suggested earlier, it's possibly best to stick to DIY food; trusting a restaurant to advise you that their apple pie is suitable for vegetarians is probably not a good idea when they put a V next to salmon salad. ;-(
Criticism accepted (if not the tone) but I think Mary and I did attempt to keep some aspect of DIY in there - and whatever the provocation your description is crap ...
er- the destruction of tropical forests was/is by Man, not by the ruminants. The 'demand' for beef reared on the cleared ground isn't the fault of the ruminants, it's by Man.
Destructive mono-cultures aren't just about feeding ruminants, they have all sorts of other end-products.
Global warming is a result, largely, of using powered tools and vehicles.
The answer? DIY :-)
Get out a hand saw, use legs instead of a car. Most carjounreys are for very short journeys which could be walked.
Yes, I know that a hand saw uses steel which demands energy to make it but that energy is a one-off use.
Same applies to the bargain basement 12 quid computer cases - all stamped sheet steel with no deburring. Work on one of those without gloves for a few mins and you will be leaking claret all over the place!
Will anyone takeany notice? Buying cheaply and throwing away is universal, sadly, in every sphere. There are exceptions to every rule, I'm pleased to say.
