I heard a story once about an acquaintance who worked for a boss who was a vegan. The boss took issue with this acquaintance's wearing of leather shoes to work, since the shoes offended her vegan sensibilities.

I wonder if she ever took photographs with old-fashioned film (as opposed to digitial photos). The emulsions used for film and printing paper use gelatin, which is a product of beef rendering.

"I don't want to pay $70,000 for a VW. In my mind a VW is supposed to be a car company that makes cars for the lower and middle classes."
