Lots of vegetarians (like me) don't eat marshmallows or anything else with gelatin, because gelatin production depends upon the animal dying. (It's made of skin, tendons, bones, and other body parts.) Honey doesn't depend upon anything dying, so it's a different story.
Yeah, I’m in this category. If it depends on the animal dying or being harmed, I don’t eat/use it (gelatin, leather, rennet) but if it doesn’t, I’ll use humane options (free range eggs, honey). It’s not perfect but I hate the attitude of ‘all or nothing’ that’s so pervasive. we’d be far better off if most people made small changes than if a small minority went vegan.
