A well-known foodie said avocados AREN’T vegan, and sorry… what?

Say what now?

Avocados are vegan, right? All fruit and veg are vegan. ALL. But apparently not. And it's one of our favourite stars (who we love) that pointed it out. On a recent episode of QI, which former Great British Bake-Off host and known foodie Sandy Toksvig presented, she tried to explain how the millennial-favourite food wasn't vegan. She said: “It's the same reason as honey. They can't exist without bees, and bees are used in, let's call it an 'unnatural way'. "Because they are so difficult to cultivate naturally, all of these crops rely on bees which are placed on the back of trucks and taken very long distances across the country. It's migratory beekeeping, and it's unnatural use of animals, and there are lots of foods that fall foul of this." And well, everyone fought back:

Avocados are not strictly vegan apparently; same goes for some fruits. At this rate the only thing I'll be allowed to eat is oxygen ?

People keep sharing that avocados aren’t vegan thing, I’m not even vegan and it FUCKS me off. Cucumbers, onions and lettuce aren’t either, but then what are vegans suppose to eat. Fuck off

This thing about avocados not being vegan is another desperate attempt to make veganism look impossible, moving hives is a common practice bees don’t need avocados like they need their own honey (also avocados aren’t a strictly vegan food so don’t make it a strictly vegan issue)
