Brillo pads aren't kosher.

Of course, as people pointed out to him, they're not kosher because your cookware also has to be kosher. However, this also makes them non-vegan, because somewhere beef tallow is involved in the process of making steel wool. I did not know this. It is possible that my vegan/vegetarian friends also did not know this. Now you do.

True for me. I'm wearing leather shoes because non leather shoes tend to be a) rubbish b) overpriced and c) bad for the feet. I also wear a leather jacket and silk stockings.

I don't, however, let meat proteins into my digestive system.

Same here. *waves*

I've always found that cloth shoes are better for my feet, if I *must* wear shoes, but.... *shrugs* Obviously, the information is most useful for those who are vegetarian/vegan on ethical grounds and oppose all killing of animals.
