Figs are not for vegans

FIGS ARE NOT CONSIDERED VEGAN BECAUSE THEY HAVE DEAD WASPS INSIDE

Anyone who sticks to a strictly plant-based diet will want to remove figs from their repertoire. While the figs themselves are fruit, they often include bugs. Vegan Life explains that a female "wasp will enter the fig, passing into a part of the plant known as the calimyrna" while trying to lay her eggs. "Eventually, she dies… and is broken down by a protein-digesting enzyme inside the fig."

Name ANY vegan food that doesn't have some kind of insect, virus, bacteria, whatever included with the vegetable matter.
@ChipmunkErnie virus and bacteria aren't animals tho

@greensnacks They're not vegetables, either. And pretty much every food has some trace of insects in it, even if only microscopic.
