Can vegans have vegetable oil or olive oil?!


Question: I would think that they could but i've been reding up on it and they don't really say anything about either (especially olive oil) in either the positive or negative sense. In addition to that, could they have margarine that doesn't contain whey?

If I could recommend anything, it would be coconut oil because it contains a higher level of saturated fat. Veggans have a very high risk of developing intestinal deseases because of their lack of saturated fat. Our cell's walls are made of Saturated fat and Cholestoral. Don't forget that. Of course, protein and fat are also necessary to heal our bodies. Olive Oil is a lot better for you than Vegetable because of the extraction and heating process the oil companies use to make the oil from Soy and others. It is like eating the opposite of Vitamin C. (Vegetable Oil is Oxidized and Vitamin C is an Anti-Oxidant) As for margarine, it is made out of Vegetable Oil with added chemicals. (after the heating process, the butter is gray and must be flavored and dyed) It is 3 times as bad for you. Hopefully there is a better substitute out there that doesn't contain Soy Oil.

I have a lot of respect for what you're doing if it's to protect animals form being killed. But if you're doing it just for your health, I'd at least eat real butter, eggs and other stuff with higher amounts of fat. You need it BAD.

yes they can it is only animal products, any product that has no animal product is okay

Are there animal products in vegetable or olive oils? No.
You may want to research what vegan means.

Yes they can. Vegans just don't eat anything that comes from an animal.

They could have margarine, but check the label carefully to ensure it contains no animal products.

The question answers itself-OLIVES, not from animals/VEGETABLES, not from animals. Most margarines do have some kind of animal products but there are some that are vegan.

Vegans can have anything that isn't meat or isn't an animal product (that would include silk, wool, honey, etc).

I enjoy olive oil all the time in my cooking, and vegetable oils are fine too.

Yes, dairy-free margarine is fine (as long as it is 100% plant-sourced).

I would assume off the bat that olive oil would be ok, b/c it is made strictly from pressed olives. But as far as vegans go, I would think that the source, where it is made..the process by which it is made....( like in a factory where no animal product is processed etc.) As little as I know about Vegans, I do know that they don't eat meat(doh) or by products of meat. Therefore olive oil is not made from meat, but could be considered "corrupt" if made ina factory that process' meat :)

When it comes to Vegans, it's on an ethical standard too.

Of course we can have vegetable oil and olive oil... they're made from vegetables. And olives.

You can find vegan margarine. Earth Balance non-hydrogenated buttery spread is labeled 100% vegan and it's really good (better than any margarine I ever tried as an omnivore.)

Olive Oil - Yes
Vegetable Oil - Yes
Margarine sans whey - read the label, but I prefer earth balance.

Well, Popeye can have Olive Oyl with his spinach.

yes a vegetarian can have olive oil, but i'm not sure about the other things. There are different degrees of vegetarians and the ones that eat olive oil are called fruitarians. They eat only fruits, nuts, honey, & olive oil

Who gives a S***! Are you a F***ing Salad Shooter? LMAO
