    Certainly up for debate and has been debated elsewhere (veganlifemag.com/vegan-myths-avocados-arent-vegan). It seems to come down to your definition of veganism and acknowledgement that avoiding 100% animal exploitation is near impossible in modern capitalist society.

  • Does this answer your question? Are animal pollinated foods vegan friendly?

  • Linked question by Nic and Alexander contains very good answers that would also answer yours. You should go take a look.

    bee are not exploited, pollinating plants is something they naturally do.
