A mother's milk is considered vegan because (if) it comes with the mammal's consent. Pretty much the same applies to human sperm. At least if a human explicitly allows you to take its shit for some use, it is absolutely vegan. But then there's the question of whether shit is always vegan.
But if you're buying my shit and I'm slurping down footlong glizzies all day, you're actively contributing to carnism. Same thing with breast milk, if the proteins in that sweet booby beverage came from steak and bacon, that baby may as well be running the slaughterhouse.
The earthworm thing from the first comment is interesting too; since their waste fertilizes the soil, the argument could be made that plants are a worm byproduct and thus not vegan. I mean, I'm sure there are innumerable species of tiny soil-dwelling critters that contribute, worms are just the most familiar/obvious. Interestingly, a lot of produce, especially organic, is grown in soil fertilized with animal manure, so thats all not vegan anyway. Same thing for any plant we eat that requires another species to fertilize it, so say goodbye to 75% of the plants we need to live. And that's not even counting the plants that require human labor to produce, which is definitely not vegan seeing as the animals in factory farms only have it slightly worse than most of the people working in them.

I thought monster had taurine.

They use synthetic taurine because it's cheaper I believe, but there's probably better things you could be drinking anyway.

I do believe water is better, but only if you’re hell bend on that vegan rawfood fad 🤷♂️

Look at this guy, drinking raw water like some kind of hipster. I fry my water.

You could boil it.

No, you freeze the water, make ice cubes, use bread crumbs and corn starch to make fried water nuggets.

If you're hot, they're hot too.
Throw your ice cubes into the fryer

Better be vegan bread crumbs.

Make sure you use plenty of oil so it doesn't stick to the pan.

Yea raw water isn’t for drinking, think of all the disgusting stuff that could be hiding in that shit.

I find the longer you let em cook on the grill with a low flame the better hit of energy you get out of them.

Vegan shit... What shit is vegan? Human shit obviously, but how about foraged free-range shit from wild animals?
Is it being stolen from the earthworms, or can it be considered vegan?
gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 109d
it's vegan if she consents!
i don't know anything else

Human shit is absolutely an animal byproduct, regardless of what the human ate to produce it.
