Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 Ghirardelli fucking rocks! It's the best Vegan Chocolate!!! Godiva too! Vik Vikas Sharma of Operations & Media Carnival Management Web: http://www3.sympatico.ca/carnival Email: carnival Phone 416. katie [kahly426] Tuesday, April 04, 2000 4:34 PM dark chocolate Hi, I am a new vegan, well I am trying to be. I am in the process of replacing things and buying vegan foods I can eat. My question is, Is dark chocolate vegan. I bought some Ghiradelli chocolate and these are the ingrediants. Sweet Chocolate(contains: sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter, soy lecithin-An emulsifier, Vanilla) It appears o.k. Any thoughts would help. I also heard most semi-sweet chocolate bits are vegan, is this true? -Katie Post message: Subscribe: - Un: - List owner: -owner Shortcut URL to this page: /community/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 Hi, I am a new vegan, well I am trying to be. I am in the process of replacing things and buying vegan foods I can eat.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 MMMmm... I just finished a bar of that same chocolate which anji brought back from San Francisco for me. It was greeaaaat. I don't see anything in the ingredients list that's a direct animal product, so it's probably as vegan as you can get in commercially made food. I mean, the sugar was probably refined using a process that uses animal bones, and perhaps the cocoa was grown with animal waste for ferilizer, but it's a good question as to whether we should classify these as animal products or derivitives thereof. It was probably also made by carnivores, hence energy derived from animal products, and possibly on machinery that also makes milk chocolate (which means that there could be trace elements of milk in the chocolote) but I don't know how to make a moral judgement based on all this information. My stomach convinced my heart to let me eat the chocolate. Anthony katie wrote: > Hi, I am a new vegan, well I am trying to be.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 Just to be sure, I checked in the dictionary and pasted the definition below. By the way, I know I was being a little silly about the fertilizer and the " made by carnivores " arguments, but I do think that the refined white sugar is a bit of a luxury that might be worthwhile avoiding since there is unrefined sugar that's brown and tastes exactly the same to me. --- from Main Entry: cocoa butter Function: noun 1872 : a pale vegetable fat with a low melting point obtained from cacao beans I'm going to go eat some chocolate to console myself until I find some non-leather shoes that I find fashionable ...
