Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 I recently went from vegetarian to vegan, but was wondering where everybody shops? I live in the Cedar Rapids area and every soy or veggie cheese seems to have casein. I've looked for brands like Tofutti, but haven't yet found them. And I get really weird looks when I ask about nutritional flakes or seitan. I just wanted to know if there was anyone in the area and if they could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Kim, How about a former Iowan? Moved to Virginia from Cedar Rapids a couple of years ago. I don't know if it's still there or if it carries anything like what you're looking for, but there a was a place on 1st Avenue between the QT and the McDonalds called the Health Hut (I believe) that might be a place to check out. Good luck in your search! Fred ---- Saturday, June 14, 2003 1:49:42 PM Any Iowans? I recently went from vegetarian to vegan, but was wondering where everybody shops?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 There's a place online where you can get the tofutti cream cheese: http://www.nodairy.com, but I don't know of anywhere online you can order the cheese. Soyco also makes some vegan cheese, not all of them though! You can ask a local health food store to order it for you. Tell them it is available from Tree of Life (large distributor) if they use them, so is the tofutti. The soyco vegan cheeses are labeled in the Tree of Life book as vegan. If you order it in the health food stores minimum, usually 3 for cheese, they probably won't mind getting if for you. -Christi --- Fred Hanselmann <fhanselmann wrote: > Kim, > > How about a former Iowan?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 The tofutti better than cream cheese is really good...I just tried it recently...it's not great for you, like its nonvegan counterpart, it is fatty and has little nutritional value...but it's yummy!
