How do your ethics apply to non-food items such as shoes and bags? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Responding to your comment seriously.*

I hear and understand your point about normalizing and subconsciously not liking it (if that’s what you meant) and can somewhat agree on surface level, but I think getting rid of all non-plant based items is a little unnecessary. That would be a monumental/unreasonable task for most. Do I donate my animal derived meds, leather watch from my great uncle, car seats, and shoes? Do I need to go check all my furniture?

You’re not a hypocrite! You can certainly hold an opinion and make exceptions ;)

i feel you… but by subconsciously i mean, if you’re somewhere and half the people have leather shoes, yours will seem normal. if everyone around doesn’t, then it’ll feel differently… mostly subconsciously….
it’s sorta like a vote saying “leather is normal”….
