I am not a vegan. I don't do crap food though except here and there if there is nothing else. I am bothered by the fact that we need all these wierd things in our life. I don't mind eating meat here and there. We tend to lean twords vegatarian if we can. I don't use fabric softener's on our bike our hiking clothes. I liked it for things like sweaters, towels, sheets etc...I understand it is clean and so on. But putting animal fat on your clothes is strange now that I know about it. And it doesn't say on the bottles so looking for it doesn't work. I know there are probably a lot of things just like this. But what does fabric softner really do? Make your clothes smell nice and soft? True. But do we need it?
