> Of course we can argue about whether animal research is ok etc etc, but food is different: we simply do not need to eat animal products in order to live healthily.As a vegan, I try to avoid things that have been researched or experimented on animals. The beauty of having gone to a plant-based diet is that my health has improved to the point that I almost never need medication anymore.
I'm not saying that a plant-based diet is a panacea, but I'm sure animal experimentation for drugs would be minimal if people improved their health by becoming health conscious vegans. Drug companies wouldn't like that too much. By the way, I say "health conscious vegans" because it is possible to eat badly as a vegan. Processed foods like refined sugar, iodized salt ...
FYI, I really respect you for your ethics, alexandra :)
