I know that vegans and vegetarians avoid,fur, leather, wool, cashmere, and even wine.
A example would be a strawberry. EVER NOTICE HOW AMERICA GETS STRAWBERRIES IN THE WINTERTIME? One of the two options could have happened
1. The strawberries COULD have been imported.
2. The strawberry were genetically modified by extracting the antifreeze enzyme from a flounder fish and using recombinant DNA technology to place it into its plasmids?

Do they avoid vegetables and other foods grown in manure since it USES ANIMAL PARTS?

Do they prefer ORGANIC farming???

vegetables are living things too
Why pick on us poor turnips
cattle contribute to the greenhouse effect with their fart emissions
Eat a cow, Save the world

I'm with Nobby. They will eat anything to save a chicken's life.

I buy mostly all organic and would never consume GMO foods.

Vegans and vegetarians are the most intelligent people. They dont use their bodies as cemetrys for dead animals and other living creatures. People who eat animals have a price to pay"mad cow diseases" chicken fever" "brain tumours etc etc.

Depends on the $$$ situation.

The manure is used on organic produce and the GM produce is the only other choice.

Strawberries are grown right here in the good old US of A. 12 months of the year. California has winters mild enough to grow strawberries and lots of other fruit. I have a friend who runs one near Los Angeles.
Genetic modification of produce is not allowed by Canadian or European Union law. As for the U.S, think about the outcry with that GM tomato. It was pulled off the shelves. You can't keep a thing like that secret.

Rest assured, all the fruits and vegetables grown here are not GMO. But some of the other stuff is. Yeast is one. Feed corn is another (not sweet corn).

I mostly get organic anyway. But I didnt know that about the fish thing thanks for telling me,

All the fruit and veg I buy is organic... it tastes better and has more nutrients than non-organic produce.

Organic farming is a form of agriculture which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. As far as possible, organic farmers rely on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients, and to control weeds, insects and other pests.

So as you can see 'animal manures' are used in organic faming so...

Eating vegetarian could mean association with animals if you eat organic.
