Can't have butter because you are exploiting those cows!

You can get goats butter.

Vegans do not believe in exploiting any sentient being.
Apparently plants are not sentient.

Do scones not have milk and butter?

They do. That's a conversation I've decided to avoid having with my friend. It wouldn't go well, we're good friends but some topics just don't work for us. This is one of the.

I guess she feels it's pragmatic and that she has to eat something. We occasionally end up in places with a vegan offering of some sort, usually a couple of cakes, but it's rarely a great choice.

A different angle. A fully vegan cafe, nice place, opened near us a few years ago. It still has a strong vegan and vegetarian offering but now serves meat based foods as well. When it was fully vegan one got a feel of how daily vegan life must be. I found it very difficult to get a cafe style meal that suited me as someone who wants more than vegan food.

Same issue. Goat, cow, sheep etc.
