An Ethical pure vegetarian does not eat meat because it involves killing an animal. They do not drink milk because it comes from an animal and that is explotation. They do not eat honey because that comes from bees and it is exploiting the bees. Blueberries and most other fruits come from bees that Pollinate them. Is it ethical to explot bees to produce blueberries? This is not a natural process, the bees are imported to an area and moved around by industrial apiaries. Thousands of bees will die in the process and the honey they produce is taken away. Are blueberries therefore an unethical food product because animals are exploited and harmed in their production?

Interesting questions...Then technically, humans are also animals, and if they are used to harvest the food, and / or package the food, then they are exploiting humans.Interesting....

Guess you're gonna starve. All vegetation (fruit and vegetables alike) need to be pollinated in order to produce. They are frequently pollinated by other insects as well as bees--ants, moths, butterfies, etc. That's the nature of things.

of course blueberries are vegan.. FRUITS ARE VEGAN. don't try to get sassy. I know what you're talking about but NO not in this situation.. on the other hand HONEY is not vegan, why? simply because it comes from bees.

Yes. Culturing bees as a part of cultural practices in the production of bees is proven to be efficient pollinators for blueberries

of course you can and while your at it ,you might realise how rediculous your own explanation is.

Don't eat. Everything can be linked back to something it isn't suppose to be. 6 degrees of seperation. You're doing a number on your body anyway, it is built to be a carnivore and herbavore all in one. Its a balance that is needed to keep our bodies going. If you do not eat meat, you need to supplement it of course, but going that strict with cutting everything out that has touched something, that's insane!! Bee's ahve a role in pollinating about everything that grows out of the ground. So I guess you are out of luck.

Yes, blueberries are not made from meat. So its not harming any animal.

How would you suggest that you eat any plant? Bees polinate all sorts of plants to forward the production of food.Perhaps you could consider that your home is a disruption to the environment and if you didn't live there, bees would probably have a natural habitat, which you are responsible for destroying. Eating blueberries allows them to do what their natural design intended.By the way, soil loam comes from the "exploitation" of worms. Without them you wouldn't have living soil. How do you eat anything grown in the ground if it's "comes from" worms? That seems to follow the same causal logic as honey.Not to mention the nitrogen freeing activities of root bacteria...

Bees pollinate vegetation voluntarily. There isno ethical concern. I eat blueberries almost everyday.
