As a lifetime honey fan I am curious why honey is left out of the vegan diet.
I understand that it is made by bees, BUT then again it is made by bees in the process of bees helping many other plant foods germinate and grow.
I have loved honey as a sweetener for coffee/teas/oatmeal. Long before the industry packaged carbo/electrolyte gels I used honey as a fuel before, during and after exercise / races. I love trying different honeys from different areas and different plant-flower sources.
A long time runner, in the football off-season and started for fun after football in the 80's.-became a vegan after a Dairy free experiment- Now I think about running, hiking, gardening and food and try to write about this way of living. Removal of dairy from diet in 2003 was successful for pain reduction and elimination of inflammation. -followed with complete removal of animal products in diet Now keeping track of thoughts , feelings and challenges.

Have you tried agave? i also have honey from time to time, usually with mustard...
ReplyDeleteit is because vegan believe that no animal should be "used" for food. Since bees are captive in a way, honey is out. That is why I am a vegetarian but not yet a vegan. :) Congrats on your blog. I really enjoy it. And if you don't mind I have linked it to my blog. Let me know if it bothers you and I will take it down.
