Beware Vegans

Cake Mixes & HOSTESS products!! = Beef fat!

Of course if you're vegetarian some find it okay  I guess. I can't really define vegetarianism. But beef fat is a common ingredient in many boxed cake mixes. They list it on the ingredients as lard! Beware all Hostess products they all contain beef fat. I wouldn't even consider that vegetarian!

Red Candys = Beetles

Red candies often contain red pigments extracted from the female Dactylopius coccus costa, or cochineal insect. Red bug dye is typically listed as cochineal, carminic acid or carmine in the ingredients. its even found in things like wine, vinegar, juice and colored pasta.So be very careful. Read labels! Many candies are also coated with shellac, a resin excreted by the lac bug, which is usually listed as confectioner’s glaze.

Beer & Wine = Fish Bladder

Some beers and wines are made with fish bladdr.This happens because a membrane taken from the bladders of tropical fish, is used to filter cloudy yeast extracts out of many brands of beer and wine.

If you have anything else to be listed e-mail me! soyypunk@hotmail.com

Indiginous Vegans

    Veganism is a diet rooted from indigenous culture. In fact, Aztecs and Indians in south america lived mostly on a vegan diet rarely eating meat on occasion (and this happened rarely!) Yet things changed since the arrival of European colonists.
    European colonists were the ones that introduced red meat to indigenous people such as beef and pork. Because before the europeans took over natives had a different view of animals. They actually had a relationship based upon respect and responsibility. They took care of them and looked at them as if they were friends. They were treated equal and weren't looked down upon.
        Natives had the believe that animals were not made for food, but willingly became food as a sacrifice for their friends where as white hunters perspective is that animals are constructed to require population control, justifying slaughter into a service performed. (Which side sounds better?)

Maybe our world would be a better placed if we had that mentality. Don't you think? That animals are equal to us and they are our friends.

       
              So when people of color complain about it being hard being vegan because they're mexican or puerto rican, etc. the white people were the ones to introduce us to meat. Indigenous people lived a vegan lifestyle and lived a compassionate life. So why can't you. Anyone can be vegan if you're white brown yellow it doesn't matter. Go vegan!
