Three things that caught my attention:
-
Use of 茻 in the Vegan Society’s name. Veganism is when you eat lots of grass? :very-intelligent:
-
It’s a Buddhist vegetarian standard specifically as it does not allow for pungent plants
-
Article makes it sound like it would exclude bone char for sugar? Is that the case?

The buddhist standard is a subcategory of this classification. They’re just being nice to buddhists :3
What draws you to this inference about bone char in sugar, I’m not familiar with this practice. Have I been getting bones in my sugar?!
iirc, some sugar is filtered through bone char to make it more sparkly white
not everywhere though, sugar made in the uk for example doesn’t do this as we use beet to make sugar, not cane
