Over 92 billion land animals are killed for food each year, but an ancient myth suggests even a single fig is not vegetarian. This controversial belief stems from the fig's unique pollination process involving tiny wasps, sparking debate and confusing those who wonder why can't vegetarians eat figs.

Some vegans question if figs are truly vegan friendly due to their unusual pollination method involving wasps. This question of **what fruit is not vegan friendly** forces a closer look at the gray areas of vegan ethics.
