wouldn't endorse the company, but you get the picture. Probably even all

those weird chewy sour candies and red vines are vegan. But they just seem

wrong, lol. What do you think?

Thank you for the responses to the getting to know you, it was great to learn about you, and hey, even a vegan from the area! Fraggle, if you know of any good vegan resteraunts in south or north of the bridge enlighten me.

I am fairly new to veganism and learning as I go. Some things don't seem to have anything non vegan by reading the ingredient list but because they are so processed I wonder. How do you feel about foods like this, I saw a white sourdough bread at the store that wasn't too healthy but didn't seem to ahve any non vegan products, Lays potato chips seem vegan, even McDonalds french fries although I wouldn't endorse the company, but you get the picture. Probably even all those weird chewy sour candies and red vines are vegan. But they just seem wrong, lol. What do you think?

As much as I do miss them, McD's fries are not vegan. They are made

in lard. And a lot of tater chips are the same way.

Snacks and candies to me are essential staples of life. LOL As long

as eaten in moderation (and they are vegan) I still enjoy them. I try

to follow the rule of Do not eat anything with large words I do not

understand in the ingredients.

Now dark chocolate, good luck getting that away from me!

check the files, i have a list of local resturants in there..

as fer vegan foods...sure, maybe red vines are vegan..but..to me..just cuz something doesn't have animal ingredients in it doesn't make it edible, ya know? its sorta pointless to me to avoid something with whey, only to scarf on something with poly sorbate something er other, er artificial yellow #32 er wotever....

McDeathburger puts beef flavoring in their fries, so they are not at all

vegetarian, much less vegan.

As for certain vegan-by-accident foods, as long as you eat the processed

stuff that appears to be vegan in moderation only, I don't see anything

wrong with it.
