why does it matter if vegan food is cooked in the same place as meat?

Question

I genuinely don’t understand what the problem is?  It’s not causing further harm to animals?  I’m vegan btw so don’t want to sound ignorant and always looking to improve

Answer

Okay lets put it this way: you go to a barbecue at your friend’s house who is a cannibal (yes she eats humans but you still decide to be friends). She presents you with a large platter with everything you both are going to eat that she’s just barbecued: human tongue, human thighs, corn, peppers, a side of human ears and lastly some vegan sausages. I don’t know about you but seeing everything on the same plate would firstly freak me the hell out and my second question would be “I hope you didn’t cook those together” followed by “maybe we shouldn’t be friends”
Its about cross contamination. Anything cooked together has definitely touched each other. When you think about it in terms of human flesh cooked with other foods you wouldn’t want to eat it right? Because it’s gross! So, that’s how a lot of people feel about veggie food being cooked with non-veggie food

Answer

It doesn’t matter, from an ethically vegan perspective. I have a personal preference to avoid cross contamination when possible, but that wouldn’t stop me from getting an impossible burger from Burger King if it was my only option. It doesn’t hurt anyone and that’s all I really care about. 💚

Answer

Personally, animal products gross me out so I prefer not to let my food come in contact with it (I also have a milk allergy), but when eating out I understand the risk and don't expect special treatment.

Answer

Cross contamination

Answer

It's kind of gross 🤷 and some people get sick from animal fat and contamination after so long of not eating it

Answer

If the reason you're not eating meat is because it physically repulses you, like myself, then you wouldnt be able to stand the thought of eating remnants of animals fat. 🤢🤢🤢

Answer

I don’t care about the ethics around it, I just think it makes my food smell
Strange and get a hint of a taste I don’t want in it. Don’t want my food contaminated with carcass wtf.

Answer

Yes most people were not vegan from the start.  So its hard to see why.  Think of it this way... think of someone cooking a rat in a frying pan.  Would you eat veggie stir fry from that same pan? 😖

Answer

it’s the same reason why certain allergens are cooked and prepared separately from common foods with their own food station. cross-contamination. it’s also annoying because restaurants will have a vegetarian/vegan menu but cook everything where they prepare their meat.
