I have been a vegetarian for 8 years, and was once a vegan, but how does this belong in bike forums? If you do not want a leather strap you could have said, "any one know of a non leather strap?" Instead you need to rub it in peoples face who do not care, and you will not convert that you are a vegan/vegetarian. You people are the reason people do not respect people like me. I am embarrassed most of the time to tell people I am vegetarian because the resentment people hold because people like peta. You should be doing it for yourself not others. Sorry for the rant.

But honestly it is kind of sad that most vegetarians don't know the difference between unfermented and fermented soy (Also grains in general).

I like breading things in corn flakes(i think its more a nostalgia thing, my mom did it when i was a kid) and mixing in whatever herbs i've got. Any recomendations for herb/spice combos that are good?

So, what is syn leather made of? I didn't see that mentioned, I'd imagine it's gotta be petrochemical.
As for my meat intake - I know where it comes from. About 10% I kill in the wild. About 50% is raised drug free by local 4H kids. The remainder is either industrial factory farmed or wild caught fish.
Vegans can be silly, a friend of mine wanted a Mustang but they only came with leather wrapped steering wheels; so she wouldn't buy it. I made sure to tell her where loctite came from. She's not in my group of friends anymore, but I'm sure she's driving a Prius somewhere.

I doubt that all vegans know where they're produce comes from. I know in some places it's easy to buy all organic, but in other places it's damn near impossible. Some places you can easily get produce form small, balanced farms, but for a lot of us it comes from large monocultures. What if you're in the North eating produce that has been grown in the South? There's problems with everything when you look at a FULL life cycle assessment. I mean... a lot of my produce is shipped from the US or AU. I don't even want to think about how much fuel is used to transport and refrigerate across an ocean. And the heat created in building that ship?! And the heat created from making all the raw materials for it?
