The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

My partner came across this lost years ago and to be honest I thought it was silly but she really thought it was the right thing and changed her language and over time I get it now and kind of feel bad about not understanding at first. It really sunk in once when I said one of the animal abuse phrases and no one else noticed but I could hear how terrible it was. This is rambling but tl;dr I think these are cute and worth while to make the change

These are good, if a little awkward at first. However, we are not sure why the berries one has to be in a bowl, we think we remember from when we were small carrying berries home in a basket sometimes.

I love the idea of this. It will take some getting used to, but long term will be worth it.

Some are more awks than not but I actually love feed two birds with one scone and use it all the time.
