    I am vegan, because I want to minimize animal suffering. if insects have the ability to suffer is highly debated. honestly I think they could just be different enough for us to not recognize their intelligence, like we do/did with fish. I will eat honey when offered, but would not buy my own. tldr: I wouldnt reject it. but I would also not but it myself.

      I’m not vegan or even vegetarian, but I respect this. I’m doing the same thing with meat now. I don’t reject it (and really enjoy it), but I don’t buy it myself so everything we make at home is vegetarian! I’m working on it.

        and thats all everyone should do. working on it and keeping it in mind. I think we (also me until some years ago) consume mindlessly.
