I think the most jarring thing is many bacon bits being made out of soy with zero pig at all.

This discovery has completely obliterated any possible health benefits of my veganism 🎈

Literally. All my favourite biscuits are vegan and I'm a biscuit fiend. Jammy Dodgers, Oreos, Ginger Nuts, Digestives, Hob-nobs. I never stood a chance.

That's a pretty common vegan line tbh for "See look at all the stuff you can still eat."

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

yeah, i recently started veganism and i've basically just sworn of all biscuits because they basically always have milk in them so like, i was really confused when a vegan friend sent me a picture of the deep fried oreo muffin things she'd made

Deep frying being vegan but coded masculine seems like an attack vector

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I ate nothing but dumplings for like a month and a half one time. Being vegan should never stop you from eating like a trash bag person

shoveling Krispy Kreme knockoffs cooked with shortening into your face im-vegan

Palm oil is a hell of a drug

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Yeah I feel like this is an example of palm oil and soy/sunflower lectin just barely edging out milk solids for cost efficiency.

Hopefully it stays that way

[–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Modern palm oil production is probably the one thing that's more environmentally intensive than beef

Orangutans hate this

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

I don’t know if it was the same for Muslim kids, but Jews of a certain age remember when they took the lard out of Oreos in the 90s and we stopped having to eat the off-brand ones

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are lots of vegan trash foods. Oreos are the king though.

I have no doubt that they being vegan was not intentional and they will crease to be vegan the moment they discover a non-vegan alternative to one of their ingredients.

Actually they used to contain pig lard until 1997 when Nabisco switched it out to make Oreos kosher

Religious dietary restrictions solidarity veganism

Making carnist Anglos eat their fucking veggies

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago

Oreos are my favorite vegetable

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

This reminds me of a something I found out while working at a vegan restaurant which will is ironic with the tale, I saw on the label for our roll of aluminum foil that it was labeled Kosher. Which I thought was weird cause it's aluminum foil. So looking into it what the deal was that the factories producing the foil lubricated their machinery with some kinda pig lard based lube cause they could buy it cheap from the pork industry. Do now they use machine lube not made of pig fat. The making things Kosher crowd has done a bit for the vegans.

theyre just going to make it so that when you bite into them, instead of the white bit in the middle it's just a thin layer of raw beef to own the libs

If this fact went viral - the American right-wing would have marches with guns where they chant-scream "Lard!" because they want it back in their cookies.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"yeah Oreos are actually a knock off of Hydrox anyway"

Which is factually correct but something about a food named Hydrox sounds terrible.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Hydrox sounds like some disgusting Aussie marsupial that went extinct 50,000 years ago.

It sounds like a special shampoo you have to use when you get pubic lice

vegan looking biscuit

I think you mean cookie.

You see because biscuit refers to a savory bun that is eaten with breakfast, while cookie refers to a small sweet baked good eaten as desert.

Just wanted to correct you, we don't want to sound like Br*tish people do we? england-cool

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

if you don't want to sound British stop speaking English

A biscuit isn't a bun wtf are you on about? It's name literally means Baked Twice, it's a crisp little thing. Fucking anglo can't even speak your own language that you stole from the french

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Sorry I don't take language advice from a group of people who thought naming a city "Liver-pool" was a good idea. That's fucking disgusting bro.

Vegan horseshoe theory:

  • $ = only starch and floor scrapings = vegan
  • $$ = whey in everything
  • $$$ = butter in everything
  • $$$$ = intentional specialty ingredients = vegan

If they contain no elements found in nature they can't contain animal products

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

That's how you can truly appreciate diet sodas.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I knew a vegan girl whose diet was like 15% oreos and I'm not exaggerating.

I tried making a bunch ofvegan food for her and she didn't like anything lol

Yeah and a lot of bacon chips are vegan as well. You would not believe the joy one spreads when one tells a Muslim that the bacon chips are halal

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They will sell those same vegan bacon chips at 300% markup if you go to the vegan aisle though.

A lot of the "bacon bits" in spice containers you can buy for salads are also vegan.
