To vegetarians and vegans: does this make perfect sense to you?!
I made 2 decisions based on my beliefs, and a friend of mine clearly thought that I was 'taking it too far' when I told her!.
I took an eBay seller off favourites becasue I saw that she had bought foie gras, and I was going to get a duvet off Freecycle until I saw that it was down and feather!.
Surely these are perfectly rational decisions esp the foie gras one - if I had given that eBayer she might have spent it on Foie Gras, and if I know this then surely it is fair enough for me to not want to give her money!?
Or am I just barking!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
I would have done the same thing in both situations!. Your friend probably buys whatever she wants without thinking about the cruelty that her money is supporting, so it's hard for her to understand your actions!.
I have a friend like that, who was shocked when I decided not to buy a suit after I realized it was made of Australian wool!. She told me I shouldn't be so "picky" about clothing!. Just remember that most people haven't seen or read the things that we have!. To them, it's just food or clothing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think you are barking!. Its your decision to do what you want!. If these things offend you then go for it!. I am vegetarian, but I don't go that far!. There are alternatives to these things so as long as there are options!.!.!.!.who cares what you buy! Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
More power to you!. Your money is your say on how the economy works!. By not giving to her you are keeping to your beliefs!. I think you have strong morals and character!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You are not taking it too far!. I would have done the exact thing in both cases!. People that think we take it too far just don't understand our belief system!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well it is all your choice!. But technically It would be supporting what youre against!. I agree with you:)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well, it does make you sound intolerant and judgemental, and I'm sure if she's not using your money to buy it, she'll just use someone else's!.!.!.but it's your money and your beliefs!.!.!.you're free to not support her!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
