Not a stupid thing that an omni said, as my boyfriend said this one - he's a vegetarian, and usually super clued up on veganism. Really don't know where this came from:
Him: my parents have some honey that you could eat!
Me: you mean like a... Synthetic honey or something?
Him: no, but it's super-organically produced by just this one guy with a beehive
Me: but it's still actual honey
Him: yeah, but the guy just poured it into the jar and gave it to them

see, that's okay, because only humans can give informed consent. You can thank them for their sacrifice before you eat them.
