Should vegans wear red?

Among other uses the Cochineal insect is used to make red pigment sometimes used in clothing. I did not even know this tell one eco–friendly company proudly informed its potential buyers that they used earth and insect dyes for all their clothing. After some research I found out that an incredible amount of these insects had to die just to make one garment.

“CARMINE: Cochineal. Carminic Acid. E120. Red pigment from the crushed female cochineal insect. Reportedly 70,000 beetles may be killed to produce one pound of this red dye. Used in cosmetics, shampoos, red apple sauce and other foods. May cause allergic reactions. Alternatives: beet juice, no known toxicity (used in powders, rouges, shampoos); alkanet root, from the root of an herb like tree, no known toxicity (used as a red dye for inks, wines, lip balms, etc. and can be combined to make a copper or blue coloring).”
For those that doubt this clothing company states clearly that they use carmine as a dye for their clothing.

Here is the link to Tinctoria the exact company I found this information out about. In fact this link talks about there use of insects for their “Sunrise” color.

I don’t know what crusade Take Me Out to the Ballgame is on but yes the first link does use carmine in their clothing. In fact it is labeled, “Carmine Tiered Skirt”. Take a closer look next time. I mean no offense but please don’t attack me (we should not be doing this regardless), especially if you do not have the correct information.
Take Me Out to the Ballgame, I guess we’d just have to contact the maker to know for sure. I know the dye “carmine” is sometimes used in browns because often they have red mixed in them as well which is what the first skirt was shown as.

In any case it is all moot since I have proven that at least in some cases it is a practice being used. I’m sure most companies are not dying to tell you how they dye their clothing, especially big manufactures. All I am saying is this is an issue that needs to be investigated as a vegans clothings choice can literally be contributing to the killing of 10’s of thousands of insects. Maybe this is something you are not concerned with but for me this is horrific since I have taken such pains to go out of my way to not take life and the dye process kills many more animals than I would probable eat in my entire life.

Feel like an outcast?

My whole life I’ve felt like an outcast. I don’t have any best friends just friends i hang out at school with. Majority of my cousins are grown and those that aren’t either live in another state or have other plans and don’t consider me hanging out with them. I’m either at work or at school. When I’m not at school or work then i’m at home. I’m hardly ever invited anywhere (movies, restaurant, etc.).I’m always asking my mother to go to the movies with me b/c i have no one else to go with. I don’t have a boyfriend ,never been in love and never been kissed. I go shopping by myself. There are times that I’m invited to go to the movies with someone or to a sleepover but that’s like twice a year. I don’t understand whats wrong b/c obviously something is wrong with me (am i ugly? do i smell bad? do i have something on my face?) I can’t be ugly b/c every says i should be model (even ppl i dont know. no lie). I love to have fun, love movies, reading, and music. I’m very ambitious, I want to go to college and major in finance, human resources and interior design and become a financial planner/ real estate agent/ interior designer. Have all A’s and one C in the devils class AP Language (the teacher is horrible). I know what i want in a boyfriend. And i know i can be great friend. Well i am to my classmates but I’m just waiting for someone to be great friend back.
I watch movies all the time and i think that it has alot to do with my head being in the clouds. I want the romantic love you see in romance novels and movies- that has alot to do with my standards for a man.
the “IT”boys at school say that I stuck up but really they never spoke to me to know who i truly am. Everyone around me has a boyfriend and go out on weekends which makes me feel lonely and out of place. The only friends i have is music, movies, and books which is kind of depressing.
My parents are proud of me b/c i’m so open minded and not one dimensional. I into the green movement and i try to get my parents to be Eco friendly which is very hard b/c we have know ecofriendly clothing stores and whatnot. We just have recycling companies that don’t really recycle everything. They oppose composting but i don’t what i can.

I just hope and pray that my future is so much brighter than my present and past.

Any advice you have for me. What do you think is wrong?
want more any info just ask.
