Kid Feels Disappointment After Learning Both ‘Economic’ and ‘Eco-friendly’ Can Be Abbreviated As ‘Eco’

6-year-old Oliver Openshaw doesn’t want to go shopping anymore because “mom says I mix up things.” It all started when the little boy reached out for a bottle of milk and attempted to carry it into the shopping cart, driving his single-vegan-proud mother insane. “I tried to tell him what to eat, what to avoid, but it just doesn’t work,” Matilda Openshaw says. “I know he’s smart, but when he said he wanted to buy that cow milk because its label said it’s an eco product… I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something. And it’s not even half of it. Yesterday, he asked me: ‘Mama, we shouldn’t wear fur, right?’ And I said: ‘Yes, honey, no one should.’ Then he said: ‘We can wear other things, like cotton or ponyeaster, right?’ I corrected him and said, ‘Polyester, yes, we can wear those. Why do you ask?’ He said: ‘But a man in the documentary said we don’t have water for cotton and ponyeaster is made of oil.’ I was at my wits’ end. Who the hell is telling my child such things?” Meanwhile, little Oliver is still trying to cope with his first big disillusionment. “I think people don’t know anything. I don’t understand. The economy hurts animals, and animals hurt nature. Why do they fight?”
