(Just as soft drinks are dearer than alcohol in pubs.) Maybe the vegan foods are better quality? Or, more likely, it's down to supply-and-demand. The prices will hopefully fall as more of us become vegan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-9677002953850965692010-03-30T11:41:17.395-03:002010-03-30T11:41:17.395-03:00"After all, who can go cold turkey from donut..."After all, who can go cold turkey from donuts, ice cream and fried onion rings?"<br /><br />Anyone else think this is doubly ridiculous because those things can actually be made vegan? It's like people think that vegan food is only tofu and lettuce (maybe we should thank people like Oprah for making vegan food all look like detox diet stuff). My first vegan "meal" was vegan ice cream, at which point I was like, "O.k., yeah, I can definitely do this! No deprivation here!" <br /><br />I know availability differs in certain locations, but if someone is willing to do a little of their own cooking then they will not go without plenty of sweet and/or greasy treats. <br /><br />But since some people don't have the time/skills/energy/motivation, this is why I'm very much more plenty of processed vegan treats. It's not the healthiest stuff, but it definitely makes vegan eating a lot easier for most of us.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618960384664890953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528521735436082423.post-39332149888370265992010-03-30T10:14:38.787-03:002010-03-30T10:14:38.787-03:00Huh?

Some onion rings and doughnuts ARE vegan, and as for ice cream, I have two family members who are really enthusiastic about Swedish Glace vegan "ice cream" despite being enthusiastic about dairy cheese.<br /><br />Overheard on a bus: "I'm half vegan. I eat cheese. If I didn't eat cheese, I would die. That's all I eat."Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.com
