A random thought I had. I think the answer is no, but I’m not that certain. Convince me please.

    I would hope so since it is pretty impossible not to eat your own boogers. If you don’t know you swallow a lot of mucus, even if you are a serial nose blower, it just goes down your throat from the back of your nose.

    For most vegans and vegetarians, it is an ethical thing: don’t violate someone’s consent, especially not to murder, forcibly impregnate, torture, imprison, rape and eat them or their (unborn) children.

    That’s why some vegans argue honey is vegan (despite being an animal product) because the bees aren’t exploited and can migrate anywhere if they so choose, while other vegans argue that honey is non-vegan because they disagree with that interpretation of beekeeping and they consider the bees to be suffering from common practices of beekeeping.

    Technically, consensual cannibalism would be vegan, and definitely so would eating boogers. I hope this answers your question.

    Vegans and vegetarians are allowed to eat meat. They just choose not to. They are equally allowed to eat boogers. Most just choose not to.

    I think it’s vegans that have an issue with it I’d imagine. Pretty sure they don’t swallow either.
