Guest guest Posted July 5, 2000 Report Share Posted July 5, 2000 I'm always disappointed when I see vegan recipes for cakes and other sweet dishes. The only 'vegan' margarine in Australia has vitamin D added. It doesn't say if it's D3. Also, I don't eat white sugar so I must use raw. Fortunately, we do have egg replacer. Anyway, I rarely cook sweet things. If I want a dessert I bake an apple and put a little oats, nuts, and maple syrup on it. I was overjoyed to find 'Toffuti' in the supermarket earlier this week and to my dismay, it had sugar in it. >So, now, PETA's taking no prisoners. They're going after our kids. They want >to mold young minds early in the developmental stage of life. It may result >in lifetime fear of animals and clowns for your kids. But who at PETA cares >about ruining your child's psyche when the " supreme " goal of life without >meat might be achieved? I don't think PETA is approaching the issue in a way that will induce people to respond positively but I do understand where they're coming from. Both Mcdonald's (and parents) lie to children about what hamburgers are and how they are produced. It is they who are 'moulding young minds' into thinking that killing and eating animals is OK when the average young child, if they knew, would see it for what it clearly is. Still, I don't see how PETA's approach will help. No one likes having other people's point of view shoved into their faces and no one likes being told they are wrong. Heck I have a lifetime fear of clowns anyway. They've always freaked me out. AV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family balks at veganism so I am slowly but surely moving them along. Ultimately you are right but let's encourage steps in the right direction and not discourage by expecting too much too soon.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 Hi I have many recipes for sweets, cakes , cookies, etc , that do not use margarine or refined sugar. Most use oils and sweeteners such as rice syrup, maple syrup , things like that. They are from a book called " Sweet and Natural " by Meredith McCarty. Its over 120 naturally sweet dairy free desserts. I recommend the book highly. But if you need anything specific I would be more than happy to help if I can.
