WEIRD FOODS VEGETARIANS CAN'T EAT 

That's what most of the frozen vegan shit is. It's full of preservatives.

Star Shine companies should have to specify if the "natural flavours" in the ingredients list contain animal products

the worst part was finding animal fat as a ingredient in my cookies, so mad !!

SABRINAKID i feel your pain. animal fat is in the most innocent foods T-T

It really makes shit harder than it needs to be!

Also, as for gummy candies, Swedish Fish are vegan! :)

Thank you for saying that! I found the title a bit off putting, partially do to saying that people "can't" eat foods. Also because these are not weird foods or weird ingredients. On the topic of Swedish Fish, Trader Joe's has Scandinavian Swimmers, which is their own similar product, in a mixed flavor bag, using vegetables for dye.

hi I am Italian so I know a lot about cheese :D the claf stomach thing is used to litteraly DIGEST milk and get cheese from milk.

V Gaia THIS

I always put it like that too whilst explaining about my diet to others. This kind of language emphasizes that it's my personal choice and not "a trend" I blindly follow or some other bs people say. Btw, can I just say you have a *beautiful* smile! Made me smile too. :)

Zeynep Beyza Theres even gelatin in peanuts lol

Zeynep Beyza because humans are cruel

Zeynep Beyza lol I know. Its because they need to use every bit of the animal to max out profits. 🤮

Ikr😂😂

lmao yeah I was looking at their new soups with high hopes... not even close!

Have you tried Amy's canned soup? Their soups are soo good and most of them are vegan.

My sister and I love their vegetarian vegetable. It's made with vegetable broth.

S. Ee yah cus it has vegetables in it

S. Ee okay hold on girl. there's some soup that's vegan that I LOVE. it's like. Healthy Choice Veggie. so good

though it has high fructose corn syrup which is extremely unhealthy at large amounts, one every once in awhile are okay though

Yup!

레몬 워터lemone wauter they’re kept apart and the machines are cleaned regularly. It’s just because they’re produced in the same factory. 🙂

I’d be weary of the birthday cake Oreos. Some sprinkles have confectioners glaze, which has shellac. Can’t find whether they use sprinkles that don’t have it or not.

why would vegans vegetarians eat shitty processed food deemed to be safe for them? isn't the whole point to eat healthy?

youshouldalwaysfeel all of the pringle chips are vegan!

youshouldalwaysfeel oh hi lauraa 👋🏼

i think most of them are, but there are some meat, cheese or cream flavours, and their tortilla range is also not vegan

hiiiii :D

Actually sour cream onion prigles aren't vegan. they have milk powder

They don’t waste the anaimal. But I am going vegetarian!

Alyssa Marie right?! I can't look at it the same anymore. Beaver piss no thank u

it's also sometimes natural raspberry flavoring as well!

Magda Hernandez she said beaver butthole juice

www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/castoreum.asp

Alyssa Marie they don't even use it anymore it's all either artifical or from vanilla beans don't be dumb

gabriela garcia WHAAA did not even realize

Sarah Hawkinson good news!!! actually sour patch kids are 100% vegan, red dye #40 is usually vegan although sometimes it is not. But sour patch kids are vegan and they're on petas list of vegan candy :)

Red 40 itself is vegan, but it is tested on animals. Just found this out last night when looking up Faygo ingredients. :(

pk how is something that's been used for years still being tested I'm a bit skeptical. Not trying to be rude or anything but they already know it works what's the purpose of testing it?

+YesIAm not rude at all, no worries! i just found this out last night, so i am not really sure how accurate my information may be. i did a quick search and found this: "The dye is made from coal tar and petroleum, so each batch of dye must be tested on rats and mice, who are then euthanized after the testing." so each time a mix of red 40 is made, a sample from that batch has to be tested before the batch can be sent out for use, it seems.

Natural flavouring in anything can be animal products though, so if there are things people like to avoid they should be mindful of natural flavouring as a whole.

I agree, I thought that a synthetic form of it is more widely used instead now.

It makes me so mad when I see "natural flavouring" in an ingredient list. It can mean virtually anything.

It's still quite often used in perfumes :/

Lea Eilers usually it's synthetic in perfumes too, actually.

Thank you❤

It's actually not hard if you cut the C.R.A.P. (calorie rich and processed) and stick with whole plant foods. I will agree with you it can be difficult to learn how to cook and prepare real foods with real ingredients if you've never done it and produce can be more expensive because of the corrupt taxpayer subsidies given to animal and junk food industries and the long distances overwhich produce is trucked. But even that can be overcome with some good cookbooks and RU-vid tutorials. And if you're able to garden, you can save a ton and eat much better. If you like more traditional animal foods, Happy Herbivore has Tempeh bacon (tastes so much better than any faux products in the stores) and Engine II has a great tofu faux egg salad recipe... There are so many great cookbooks and recipes out there, you're sure to find just about anything for those occasional nostalgic meat and junk cravings. But honestly, when you start eating real foods, you feel better and you don't crave those things as much anymore...

Becca Martin is disagree. You either are or you aren’t. You can’t say you’re vegetarian if you still eat things with meat in. That makes you a non-vegetarian.

GuitarGuy Disagree. Even herbivores eat meat sometimes. Accidentally eating something with gelatine in it once in a while does not make you a shit vegetarian or not a vegetarian at all.

@@ofunne892 if it's an accident fair enough. But if you actively eat sweets with gelatine, you are not vegetarian.

I accidentally ate a hotdog I wasn’t thinking 😭

@@litterkitty1280 that happens to me too

Alaina O'Neill ya!!

Thank you! God, it's been killing me who she reminds me of!

No

No

🤣🤣🤣 your right.

Bryn Wells but if you would really care about animals you would at least think about what you're eating and some of these things you should really do not eat if you are a vegetarian

Bryn Wells agreed. I don't eat meat or gelatin.

It really isn't the same, though. Giving up, if only meat, makes such an impact. Plus, everything is personal preference. I, myself, started by cutting out meat, then gelatin and things like that, until i became fully vegan. To put down someone for making an effort is ignorant. Giving up things that are so commonly used is tough, and not an option for a lot of people.

not everyone who is vegetarian is doing it because they care about animals feelings tho??

then you're not vegetairan, you just don't eat meat, if you were a vegetarian you wouldn't eat nothing that contains animal parts in it

Kaylette i've been vegetarian since november but im really cautious with where and what i eat , mostly I make my own food (even tho im 13 , but i still love to cook) 😂 but since i don't eat from fast foods im ok , but you just gotta check the ingridients or download an app (i have "is it vegan?") that tells you if its vegetarian , vegan or if it contains meat dairy or the crazy shit like gelatin and stuff

thank you for the app suggestion! i'll check that out :)

Honestly the only thing you can do is ask questions about how the food was prepared if someone else cooked it, do your research about animal derived ingredients and then hope for the best. We all make mistakes sometimes but all you can do is learn and make sure not to do it again.

I am a very high raw vegan and do not struggle much at all because I eat mostly raw! Lots of fruit mostly! So maybe I could be considered pretty close to a fruitarian! I am also Non Celiac Gluten Sensitive so I can not have wheat anyways! I found gluten to be the number one cause of my suicidal depression and anxiety, so after cutting wheat out, I am much happier and even happier yet because I eat so many raw foods! With living enzymes and biophotons! I highly recommend trying to eat more raw because it's sooooo much easier! Yes it is a little more restrictive, but your health benefits increase and you don't really have to worry about looking at ingredients, so it is actually much simpler! I am even able to say that I am completely GMO free as well because of it! If I buy corn I buy it organic. If I buy edamame I buy it organic! Zucchini is also GMO, so buy organic or grow your own like I do! Also papaya is now GMO sometimes, so try to verify the farm or buy only organic. This is all for America by the way! There are not many GMO's in the produce department, so it's just a few foods to look out for! Most GMO's are shoved into packaged foods, so I don't worry about that! I do have a couple of favorite packaged products, but they are mostly condiments, like an artichoke bruschetta that is in sunflower oil! I will add a few tablespoons to nibble at on top of a huge tomato salad! Going high raw sounds hard, but it does become so simple once you have some favorite meals picked out! Packaged foods are just full of GMO's and I find them to be so scary!

I know right!

They usually are nowadays, in the UK they are now :)

ccap3211 Tbh it's really the differance between a sustainable vegan diet and an impossible, personally, and it's such a big debate but I think it's silly to exclude people who can't afford to avoid it when really eggs and dairy are the heart of vegan issues with food products.

Not all brands of white sugar are processed with bone char, so it is definitely worth looking into.

+ Maia F Brown sugar and stevia for life

Most of the sugar in Canada is vegan! The only brand that I know of that still uses bone char is rogers and that's only the Vancouver refinery that does! If the barcode on the bottom starts with a 10 it's not vegan but mainly the white auger here is vegan (redpath etc.)

french californian Most of it is junk and people don't care because "it tastes good".

@@brookepatterson4663 I’m from the us and ya that Is very true

Alex Espinoza 'Just' brand Caesar dressing. You're welcome, my friend. 😉

THANK YOU! I miss caesar salad so much!

Summer0234 You're welcome. ☺️ It is vegan, not sure if that matters to you. And it's usually at Target. 💁

Alex Espinoza try out the organic girl salad love brand it's vegetarian and really good

It's actually called Hampton Creek :)

I'm not even vegetarian and here I am

I think a lot of these still apply to a vegetarian lifestyle. What I go by is whether an animal had to die to produce the food I'm eating, and some of these do break that. Obvious things like the chicken or beef stock (which aren't hard to realize), but also the others like gelatin and some food coloring, animal fats, etc. I do agree that some of those she mentioned are more fitted to a plant based diet instead, but there were only about 2-3 of those.

All those mentioned required bones, tissues, or meat of animals. Veganism is that plus any thing produced from an animal. Vegetarianism is more about death, Veganism is more about death and exploitation.

If it had to die, like to get the lining of their stomach, bones, and tissues, them it's not vegetarian. But you do you.

If you're considering one of the 2 I would just go vegan. Lots of people think by going vegetarian they aren't contributing to the death of animals, but by supporting the egg or dairy industry you indirectly support the meat industry. Baby boy calves in the dairy industry are sent to a slaughterhouse after a few weeks of life to make veal because they can't produce milk. The boy chicks in the egg industry are literally thrown into a grinder fully conscious because they won't ever produce eggs and that's standard practice for ALL egg farmers/manufactures. Also the animals are often held in extremely poor conditions and treated horribly. Besides all that though, every animal in the egg or dairy industry will eventually end up at a slaughterhouse to be killed for meat. Cows when they no longer produce enough milk (after being forced to have countless babies that have all been stolen from them a day after they born), And hens after they no longer produce as many eggs.

+Kye !! Also cows milk is for BABY COWS. If we're drinking cows milk, then that means the baby cows aren't.

There's some product made from fish scales that's not uncommon in hair sprays and lipstick too.

+ Amy Bride it adds a shiney sheen to hair and lips

Also, Red #4 is in Hawaiian Punch (found out the hard way)

veganbeautyaddict , love your hair

You're a lifesaver. 💚

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

Me

Eyyy

Me ! I’m new too I’ve been vegetarian for 5 months

Dandies makes delicious vegan marshmallows, I'd kill for a pack rn

SaltyBitch Trader Joe's marshmallows are vegetarian!

SaltyBitch dandies and trader Joe's makes vegan marshmallows (I love your profile picture)

Julia Chisolm I just finished a pack of those yesterday 😂

Dude trust me vegan marshmallows taste exactly the same as regular ones (if not better) they're just less sticky and stretchy and whatnot because of the gelatin being taken out.

yagurlrera I don't want to be THAT vegan (it's still great that you're helping by being vegetarian!) but the dairy and egg industries involve killing lots of animals, perhaps research it if you're concerned by this xx

Anna Clegg the milk and eggs i get come from my grandfathers farm so no killing is involved :) other dairy like yogurt and cheese I try to get from whole foods

yagurlrera oh really? that's great, I live near a "free range" farm & the amount of suffering is unreal, I'm glad your grandad's isn't so bad xx

yagurlrera dairy is cruel too

and if you are vegan, DO NOT eat anything that contains WHEY or ENZYMES :))

beeswax is vegetarian tho, so it's not an obvious no no at all lol

ella unless you care about the bees and bee population.. yeah it is a no no

That doesnt hurt the bees. They make much more honey than they can eat with tons and tons of beeswax. The farms actually encourage the bee population. Buying bee products helps the bees

Because of pesticides. Like last year bee farmers woke up to find their colonies dead, due to spraying for mosquitoes in SC. The overspraying would kill them with or without bee farmers.

Also I heard that some peanuts will have gelatin added

BarefootDreamer59 Very helpful. Probably guessing because castoreum qualifies as “unclean animal origin”.

Emily Johnson I've eaten like 4 different kinds and none of them ever stated any meat ingredients? "Vegetable broth" never beef :) just check the ingredients don't generalize

S. Ee genuine French onion soup is beef stock though, vegetarian versions exist but they're not what one expects if they order it

Emily Johnson Ikr!! first thing I stopped eating when I gave up meat and French onion soup was a favourite

yeah that one got me. I did find a place that makes one with a mean beer broth instead though (although i cant say for sure the beer is vegan).

I didn't. The soup can was marked as being vegetable so I bought it without reading the label. 😣 Learned my lesson though, lol.

JessicaListens what really 😂

JessicaListens order avocado rolls and veggie rolls when you go to sushi places! I loveee them with some soy sauce wasabi and ginger

There's a type of vegetarian that allows you to eat fish! There also have been studies where fish don't actually feel, they just have that fight/flight reaction that plants also have!

Nicole Anna fish actually can feel and have very good memories, I wouldn't rely on those studies because it's not fair to compare these creatures to plants

when i go to sushi places i always order avocado, pickle and yellow radish makis! those are totally vegetarian, you can eat those!

olivia1910 the ingredient didn't touch fish bladders, it's derived from them

it's filtered most of the time with fish bladders. if you look it up on barnivore on your phone after you see a menu (or plan ahead and check on your computer after viewing the menu online), it's really not that difficult.

being vegan isn't about being perfect. no one's perfect and there are hidden animal ingredients in sooo many things. it's just a matter of checking ingredients (really easy) when you can and doing the best you can to avoid unnecessary harm.

olivia1910 do u know what they go with male baby chicks, calfs, piglets, SHEEP ? they grind up the male baby chicks alive, steal the calfs from the mothers and kick their heads. Put a hot rod on their bodies. And don't even get me started on sheep

There are vegan beers. And they are very common.

Alexis G same, I’m done with food for now lol

lengua muerta Great I love Swedish fish!

also! poptarts have gelatin in the frosting and I didn't know until I was reading the package and eating it that it had gelatin!!! spat it out immediately of course

Dan F same , but i was hust straight up stupid cuz i was eating a s'mores one , and marshmallows contain gelatin already , bit still after that i felt so bad 😂

Dan F no offense but spitting it out after you already bought it doesn't help anyone unless your allergic or something. You should give the rest to a friend so it doesn't go to waste

Alex S. she should give what was in her mouth to her friend? Vegans are in it for the health benefits also, animal products are horrible for your body why would she induce that on her friend?

GracieFL isn't kosher gelatin derived from fishes ? I read that somewhere , i mean i still avoid them nust to be sure

i could be wrong, i had just always been told it was usually vegetable gelatin

GracieFL this is sometimes true but often kosher gelatin comes from fish

Adrian Maxwell I can't eat gluten and lots of other stuff too so I understand :/ it's hard?!

At least your trying but as you learn you'll realise how easy it is to be vegan/veggie, I always thought that vegan was to hard until I realised you have easily excusable alternatives for everything😊

Millie Jones HOW DO YOU SAY IT??? I am so uncomfortable with my pronunciation of it!

I pronounce it worst-eh-shur. Is that correct?

Catarina Silva no❤️

It was probably an accident. A beaver sprayed and somebody just happened to be in the line of fire and was like.....you know what...that's pretty tasty

Do you know what brands?

@@avadickerson5143 the one i usually get is the BelGioioso Vegetarian Parmeasan, it's just in my grocery stores with all the other cheeses! it says vegetarian right on the lable though. there are definitely other brands too! the ingredients will say "vegetable rennet" or "microbial rennet" instead of animal rennet :^) hope that helps

@@unfauxgettable thank you!!!

Danielle H yeah but for the gelatin they HAD to kill the animal , the didn't kill the cow for milk , so in my opinion i don't find it bad

Instead the cows are tethered and locked indoors, constantly impregnated, used for their milk and has the calves abruptly taken away (many killed for meat). Also they are killed about 4-5 years in, which is a fraction of the normal life expectancy. Not sure if death or constant depressing living conditions is worse. Still very cruel to the animals and not much of a life worth living for the animal....

I get what you're saying though, just seems like neither are great options

This video was about vegetarianism, not veganism. :)

Yeah that is true, but the whole point of not eating animals is because it's cruel. But the dairy industry is just as cruel, treating the animals like trash then killing them after a few years. So essentially they are still being killed, just after using their bodies for milk. Seems almost as bad.
