:-)) You may be right about acryllic paint, but the veggie brigade will
give you a run for your money on the ethics of the cheese sandwich...
If you want a "for instance" try looking at the link between dairy
production and veal crates (where do you think the "boy" cows go, when
the "girl" cows are growing up to make milk for the cheese?) Then
there's the history of imperialism and colonisation associated with the
cucumber slices you added to your innocent little sandwich... :-))
