Wondered why you have given a non-Vegan recipe? As a Vegan I use no dairy or honey.

Hello Jackie,
Let me start by saying that all recipes on Vegan Family Living are vegan. Honey not being vegan is a matter of choice. So you are wrong in your claim that any recipes on Vegan Family Living are not vegan.
There is a huge misconception that bees are harmed during the process of honey production and this in a nutshell is not true. I did a lot of research on this as I know that honey is very beneficial to a diet due its ability to give natural energy and other health benefits.
When something causes as much of an issue within the vegan community, such as whether honey is vegan or not, in my opinion that pretty much means that it is really a up to the individual to opt to use it or not. I opt to use it and will continue to do so until the day I die.
Does that mean I am not vegan? By no means. Let me also clarify that I did not become vegan because I am an animal rights activist. I did so for dietary reasons. If I could I would still eat a piece of fried free range organic chicken, I would. But as for me and my house meat eating and dairy consumption is not an option.
You can call it what you will, but again it is a matter of opinion.
So thank you for your comment. I appreciate it because it only confirms my belief that eating honey is, as I have stated once or twice in this article, a matter of opinion.
