Honey I want to know!

freeganhippie

I have heard about raw foods from Julianno, who wrote the “Uncookbook.” He has a website with David Wolfe and they do not eat banana’s, soy, carrots, and other things that are too sweet but they consume honey. Isn’t honey anti-vegan? I thought that vegans did not eat honey? Can they call themselves vegans if they consume honey? Thank you for reading this.

you can call yourself a vegan and eat honey! i find the anti-honey thing very silly. honey and bee pollen were never a part of the bees body, honey and bee pollen are incredibly life promoting, consuming honey and bee pollen does not harm the bees, bees are essential to our food supply! bees carry that pollen so that plants can live.

lots and lots of vegans eat honey. i heart honey.

Honey is perfectly acceptable on the RAW diet. It is about what is confortable with you. If you are against it, then don’t do it! I however will never cut out honey from my diet.

ok, i read the essay. the honey i buy is indeed from small, organic honey farmers who treat the bees well, and do not heat or filter the honey that i purchase. i don’t expect that we will all agree on this, but i don’t think it’s fair for someone to say a person isn’t vegan because they eat honey, or even for a person to need to say they are vegan-except-for-honey.
