4 days agoPeople who gift me food know I do not eat animal carcasses or secretions, so I’ve never received food containing any of the two in all these years.
If it ever happened, I’d accept but also let them know not to do it next time, and explain why :)
The food would end at the office for my coworkers’ enjoyment.
No problem!
I understand! I’d do the same. “What if they don’t like it and they throw it away?” Such a waste of life.
Truth is, we cannot shoulder the responsibility for the whole chain of events. Someone gives us something we don’t eat. We decide not to eat it and give it to someone else.
The rest lies in someone else’s conscience.
Finally, if I wasn’t sure they’d eat it, I’d adopt a freegan approach and eat it myself.
By the way, I recommend you edit your post to add a short comment about the not plant-based confusion. I think you are being downvoted by people not taking the time to read and engage…
