Vegan Sugar

Lane — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 01:10:28 +0000

We received a comment from one of our readers (hi Addie) questioning the validity of PETAs list of "I Can't Believe It's Vegan." She says she used to use that site as a reference tool, but has since learned that sugar is absolutely not vegan, and since it is in many of the products on [...]

Kosher Doesn’t Mean Vegan

Lane — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:06:10 +0000

Sometimes we forget that food labels are important. It gets a little tiring reading labels for all our grocery store purchases. After a period of time, we feel we've come to know certain products and feel comfortable buying them, but manufacturers often change their recipes, and the packaging doesn't necessarily reflect this. Luckily many companies [...]

PETA’s List of Animal By-Products

Lane — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:16:14 +0000

I stumbled across a list of animal ingredients and their alternatives as compiled by PETA. This list is a great reference point, and I wanted to share it with you, we've added it to our vegan resources page as well. Animal ingredients are used not because they are better than vegetable-derived or synthetic ingredients, but [...]

Vegan Beware!

Lane — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:15:34 +0000

After six-plus months of eating vegan, Jane and I have developed a sense of what foods we might not be able to eat. Since going vegan, we've read countless food labels and many informative articles on non-vegan ingredients hidden in otherwise vegan foods. So we're fairly comfortable knowing what foods we're going to have to [...]

Naan – It Isn’t for Vegans!

Lane — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 02:46:00 +0000

I had lunch with a colleague today. We went to an Indian restaurant he knew of, very close to our meeting site, which was important since the weather wasn't cooperating much. The restaurant shall remain nameless, since it isn't one I care to refer to anyone! Regardless, our server was great. He helped me find [...]

Cream Cheese Alternative

Jane and I read labels now, religiously. Adopting a vegan diet has ensured that we read labels because who knows what they're sneaking into your food! The thing that makes me most insane is the milk product in most soy cheeses. If you're not manufacturing a dairy based cheese, why would you put in a [...]

Vegan Chili

Jane used to serve home-made chili and beer to me and my friends during football season. (Have I mentioned how great my wife is?) Prior to this vegan diet we were not red-meat eaters. Jane would have the occasional cheeseburger or pork product (she was completely addicted to bacon when we went out for breakfast), [...]

Beer Here

I'm a guy. And on Sunday's I become the typical American Guy. I like to sit around and watch football on TV with my friends, drinking beer. You can imagine my dismay when I read that beer may not be entirely vegan!@!##$%!%! I was looking through Vegetarian Sourcebook and came upon this horrific paragraph on [...]
