Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 If you have a young child to buy for, what would you do? I know someone who had an alergic reaction to soya, so I am dubious of buying soya based products for other people. I know my husband has bought me a Booja Booja egg (he went to Totnes especially!!!), but I am thinking of buying my nephew an ordinary egg. Does that make me a bad vegan? I guess I should be buying vegan products full stop, no matter whether its for myself or anybody else. Janey x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 As far as I know, After eights are vegan. I got an after eight egg for easter. Thing is is not really the kind of thing for a young child. , " vegicate1 " <simonpjones@o...> wrote: > ---Your conscience is telling you right!! > > > In , " Janey " <janey@p...> wrote: > > If you have a young child to buy for, what would you do?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 > I am thinking of buying my nephew an ordinary egg. Does that make me a bad vegan? only you can decide that... For future reference (it's a bit late too order now) you can vegan confectionary including I think easter eggs from Dr. hadwen trust & probably ViVA!, also Sainsburys do a vegan easter egg so my partner tells me, tho they tend to sell out early... Why not get your nephew something different instead like a bag of organic spinach (thats a joke BTW), or a small inexpensive non food/sweets present that will last when easter is forgotten?

I don't think I would say it makes you a bad person, so much as a pragmatic one. Personally though it's no something I would do easily which makes gifts a little more difficult than it needs to be. Anyway, last year for Easter I was given an egg from Montezuma in Brighton which was just a plain chcocolate egg (i.e with no treats inside) so I would assume that would have no soya. They have a site at http://www.montezumas.co.uk/ Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy several packs of their speckled eggs (small lumps of chocolate in a hard shell) to make something for Easter I suppose but they come in small bags and are not cheap considering.

I remember checking the back and thought I'd checked it properly... I've already eaten the egg and thrown away the packet. I hope it didn't have any milk in it.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2002 Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 I boycott Heinz because they are responsible for Linda McC's foods not being vegan any more. But it is easy for me because the co-op has many brands .

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 if you boycotted Heinz for selling meat products, then you'd have to boycott the shop as well... > I went to the local shop and noticed that Heinz, as well as the > usual straight baked beans, sell ones with (meat) sausage in them. > For a while I decided I would boycott Heinz products because they > sell meat products and therefore make money out of death.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 >after eight biscuits are made with butter and buttermilk... Do they make biscuits too? The chocolate mints used to be vegan, then included buttermilk, then changed back again. They are also made by Nestle. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 I guessed that he meant to type *chocolates*, rather than biscuits. I only stick to companies that are pro-vegan anyway, rather than supporting mainstream companies. Makes more sense all round. My Booja Booja egg was lovely!
