They make gelatin by boiling animal parts. They make fertilizer, used on your produce, by boiling animal parts. Both are made from the same "pot" of boiling animal parts.

Why is gelatin avoided like the plague but you will all eat the produce and don't demand that it be fertilized differently?

Before you say it, "organic" produced is fertilized this way as well.

I wanted to eat my printer, so I unplugged it. The computer displayed an error message and said that a device had been unplugged. Now I'm wondering if computers can feel pain. Obviously this was a stress response to one of its parts being taken away. How can they be vegan?

Hi! I've been a vegetarian for close to a year now and am toying with the idea of being vegan. I have always wanted to, but being under 18, I don't want to create extra expenses for my parents, nor do I want to pay for special foods (i.e. soy ice cream) My dad and brother are vegetarians so it has not been hard to find food, but I am a horrible cook and don't want to make my parents cook foods special just for me. So, I am looking for a long list of vegan foods (NOT recipes), or possibly a book with a long list? I'm aware of the one by peta, but i was wondering if there was perhaps a longer one?
thank you so much! :)

ok, i have a small problem. i live with my boyfriend and we are both strict vegetarians (not vegan) of 7+ year. i've recently decided i'd like to try eating fish. my body feels like i need to eat something with rich protein. last time i mentioned this he gave me the "gross" look. i know he doesn't want me to eat fish. i was thinking of eating it and hiding it from him, but this doesn't sound like a good idea for our relationship.

anyone have suggestions? should i tell him i'm going to eat it and only eat it when he's not around? i would really like to cook it at home, but is that disrespectful?

I'm not sure what kind of answers i'm trying to get. maybe just another opinion than my own.

Another poster had this as an answer and it needed further discussion:

"Tofutti makes a lot of non-dairy products.....sour cream, cream cheese, sliced cheese, chip dip, mayonnaise. I assumed everything they made was vegan, but apparently they make an egg "replacer" that is made with eggs. I don't get that at all, but all their other products are completely vegan."

Can somebody shed some light on this contradiction?

If you have a fact to present, please include a reliable link. Thanks.

I have been veggie for 19 years and I really want to become vegan. What does your typical days diet look like? Any tips or recipes for a wannabe vegan who can't cook would be greatly appreciated.

I know that being a vegan will make me healthier but I am worried about my bones breaking because I don't know where to get an adequate source of calcium that milk provides. Can anyone help me out on this one?

Well, now what are veg*ns going to eat? Certainly this adds to the body of evidence that plants are sentient. BTW--- sentient doesn't necessarily include self-awareness. So you can stuff that counterargument.

What do you think of this article? Again, it's science so I'm aware that there is a virulent strain of anti-science, anti-intellectualism, anti-rationality on the V&V forum. So some critical thinker's responses would be appreciated.

for health reasons, i'm going as low-carb as i can handle. does anyone know of any regimes i could find with full-on meal plans for the first few days (at least) until i adjust to the switch?

i'm not looking for food recommendations as much as a way to put it all together without the fruits and whole grains (and even some of the vegetables) that i'm used to eating.

thanks!

I'm just about the pickiest eater on planet earth. I love sweets and junk food, and dislike the taste of many veggies, so not eating meat really makes it hard for me to just eat healthy,

so although im forcing myself to just eat foods i hate the taste of, I'd really like to know if anyone has good vegan or vegetarian snacks, or meal ideas that someone like me could eat on a regular basis?

Also, do you think it's possible to use Boca burgars to substitue into hamburger helper? ... I know if I could make that, I'd eat it all the time to get the protein I need.

I have been tossing around the idea of vegetarianism for a few years now, not really because of moral reasons but because of health reasons. But the question i have, for those who chose this lifestyle because of morals, has to do with human anatomy.
It is obvious through human anatomy such as special organs that aide in the breakdown of meats, and the fact that we have teeth that are meant for carnivorous eating. What i would like to is this: Is the reasoning for your morals choice of a vegetarinian lifestyle because of the way animals are treated now-a-days in order to mass produce meat, or is it simply because of killing animals all together. Because I agree that the way animals are treated now-a-days is immoral, but I'm also lost for the fact that our bodies are designed to eat meat.

I understand that the noodles themselves are at least vegetarian (not vegan) and that some Oriental flavored ramen contains animal by-products. Is there another type of (vegetarian) seasoning I could use to flavor the noodles? Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks!

that are made from the leftover parts? The animal is already dead and wasn't killed for those products directly.

Against my better judgement I'll use the rendered animal fertilizer as an example. This question has nothing to do with the double-standard I believe today's vegans has.

The animals that are used to make products such as fertilizer, those pesky enzymes on the Doritos, soap or any secondary product, are already dead regardless.

So why would it be wrong to use those products when it would have no impact on the amount of animals killed?
