I once knew a rabid vegan that was so incredibly dogmatic and reactionary
she utterly refused to take any calcium supplements because at one point in
the calcium molecules billion year history it was part of an animal's bone
or a sea creature's shell. This despite the fact that her bones were
extremely brittle and probably looked like Swiss cheese. Vitamin D
supplements were absolutely out of the question too as it was impossible to
*know* that the supplement did not contain some microscopic quantity of
glycerin.

Seriously. You can't imagine the lengths those idiots go to maintain what
they consider "ethical" eating habits. They are seriously ill people.
