My DD had a college friend that was vegan and gluten free and all her food had to be organic and nothing with a face being a part of it. I thought she was recovering from an illness when I first met her. She didn't know that organic growers at the farmer's market used animal manure as fertilizer. She tried to get others to protest that and make a scene over it. My DD distanced herself from her and I was curious to what the sad girl ever found to eat
That's about the craziest thing I've heard! Animal manure is very "natural"- nothing my 2 vegetarian sons would object to! And they know a lot about it. They are two of the healthiest people I know. It's been so long since they've eaten meat that I can't even remember when they started being vegetarian.
