Cohousing-L Mailing List: Can the CH Kitchen Be Purely Vegetarian or Vegan

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

Every few years we get a question about whether the CH kitchen can be purely 
vegetarian or vegan. That way omnivores and omnivore at home but still 
participate in CH meals.

Well, TreeHugger has an article that will pretty much put “purely” to rest.

Which of these items contain animal products:

1. Plastic Bags
2. Car and Bike Tires
3. Glue in Woodwork and Musical Instruments
4. Biofuels
5. Fireworks
6. Fabric Softener
7. Shampoo and Conditioner
8. Toothpaste
9. White or Brown Sugar

Of course you guessed it, all. Who knew? Given this I think that trying to have 
a pure kitchen would be a major commitment to researching ingredients and their 
sources as well as financially prohibitive because residents wouldn’t be able 
to contribute many things to the CH.
