Vegan condoms launched
BBC ^ | 10-27-2001

A cruelty-free condom has been launched to cater for the much neglected vegan market.

The range of condoms has been manufactured using no animal ingredients or derivatives, in line with vegan beliefs.

Traditionally the processing of latex, used to make condoms, has involved the use of casein - a milk protein.

Vegans shun milk because its production involves breeding calves destined for the meat industry, which they regard as cruel.

But the range from German manufacturer Condomi utilises cocoa powder instead and has been awarded the Vegan Society's seal of approval.

Vegan Society general manager Richard Fairhall said: "Much to their frustration vegans in the UK have long been denied access to a cruelty-free condom.

"The launch of Condomi's range changes all that - no longer will vegans have to suppress their natural instinct to make love not war."

Condomi condoms are available through the Family Planning Association and are soon to go on sale in Superdrug stores priced from £1.99 for a pack of three.<

You are a poet!

Why thank you

I do try to express my self in verse
But the sidecar moderators consider it perverse
Before I have finished, all I'd like to have said
Those darn thread-nazis pull the frickin thread.

That price is too high for sex with a Vegan.

Sex, with one who does not like meat..
I looked it up in my reverse dictionary the word they had for this was "ineffable"

um . . . don't these "vegans" know that cocoa is now politically incorrect, too? Cocoa plantations use child slave labor to harvest the crop.

So many products to boycott . . .

What's a person to do?

Poor StoneCold, the only thing that kept him company in the klink was the thought of me enjoying meat with lots of sauce.

See you in the FR jail, dubya.

Until the newly, self-appointed warden lays the smack down on you and puts you in solitary... or in with big Bubba.
