How important is brand recognition to you? How much do you spend on vegan leather vs. real leather?

If you are truly Vegan then you shouldn't want anything that looks like leather or tastes like meat on or in your body. It's quite hypocritical - in my opinion.

And let me be the first to tell you that we don't care what you think! I'm glad you're not in charge of overseeing my food and fashion decisions.

Whoa Someone's a little low in iron today

To my dying day I will never understand why DCUM is so anti-vegetarian and vegan. Yeah, you're great, you eat animals - go you. What a bold choice! How unconventional! How not like other girls, you are. Your husband will never cheat on you and your kids will all get into Harvard, mother superior.

I eat animals so that I won't die, since that is the best source of iron (no beans and greens are not enough, for me and my body) and I don't want to get iron infusions for the rest of my life. I don't care what you do.

Iron infusions?! I've been vegetarian for 40 years and my iron levels are fine. Where do you people get this nonsense from?

DP but everyone’s body is different and some people do very poorly without animal protein. I am one such person and I compensate with oysters.

That's great! I'm not sure how it's relevant to this thread. Maybe you and your oysters can move over to the food forum. OP was asking about leather bags, then some nutjob came in to say that she loooooves meat and loooooves leather - and we're all really psyched she's found meaning in life, but neither that nor you and your oysters are really helping OP with her bag choice.

You questioned infusions dear. If you’d like to ask about it in the Health forum go at it, but you asked here instead for some reason.

Dear, I didn't "ask," I expressed irritation that the anti-vegetarian battalion has to come onto every gd thread to share their weird prejudices. I'm sorry you need infusions and oysters to literally get through your day without your big hunk of animal flesh, but that is a very unusual health issue and certainly should not guide how most normal people are making their life choices. It could not be less relevant to this thread. Like, if you started talknig about how martians gave your mother an anal probe that one summer in Nantucket, that would actually be more relevant.
