Do you totally boycott all animal products ? like jello, toothpaste, leather shoes ?

For me it is about the killing of animals. I do eat and drink unhealthy.
I do not boycott all animal products however I do try to avoid them. Practically it is hard to boycott them all.
If I wanted to not be a part of all the unneeded animal killings I would not eat regular cheese for example because during the making of cheese animal products are used. I would need to eat vegetarian cheese from special shops. I have to go out of my way a lot to get to these shops and cheese takes way much lives then steak does.
Thats where I am pragmatic and I feel ok with that. I have needed to "answer" myself a lot to non vegetarians though who feel you need to be an extremist or eat the fucking steak and be "normal". They feel a vegetarian can not wear leather shoes or this person is a hypocrite. That always makes me giggle inside.
