Are bread and noodles considered no-nos for a vegan diet?!
Thanks for your opinion,

Answers: I am not a vegan: I'm vegetarian. If I ever do decide to go vegan, however, I want to know if bread and pastas need to be omitted. I looked at the ingredients for my bread, and saw eggs in there, so technically that would not be vegan. However, I do see many "vegan" recipes with bread, tortillas (which probably contain lard), etc., in them. What do you think of this?

I wouldn't make it without bread and noodles. I eat peanut butter and toast almost every morning.
And who doesn't like noodles? :)
I went vegan a while back, I thought it would be really hard, but it isn't. It's easier and food tastes better. You should try it for a week or two and see how you feel
:) veggie rule!
You would have to eat noodles and bread that were made without any eggs or other dairy.
Just look at the ingredients on the package. There are some kinds out there that you can eat.
Most breads are vegan, but you need to check the ingredients to make sure.
Most pasta is vegan too, most fresh pastas contain egg, but you can get vegan versions, though not many. You can also get vegan noodles.
The tortillas I buy are vegan; I've never seen any made with lard.
Honestly, it's easier than you think to be vegan.
Look at your labels. Most national brand breads & dried pastas are Egg & Dairy Free.
I use Mission Corn Totilla(Thins) no lard. There are some lard free(low fat) Wraps on the market too.

They don't need to be omitted altogether... just find ones without dairy/eggs.
Most pasta in stores doesn't contain any eggs or dairy. I've never had trouble finding vegan pasta, except at a fancy restaurant that made their noodles from scratch and used eggs.
A lot of breads are made with milk, but you can usually find milk-free ones. French bread is often vegan. The majority of sliced breads in stores don't contain any eggs in my experience. Not sure how common it is to use lard in tortillas, but I haven't seen it listed an ingredient in the ones I've bought.
With just a little research, you can find pasta and bread without eggs, or dairy products in them. Just go to your local health food store and speak to a professional there. You can also make your own pasta very easily with just any type of flour and water. You'd just have to invest a little in a pasta machine but they are really fun to use, especially for kids!) A bread machine is another good investment in the long run if you really want to know for sure what the ingredients are.
The easiest solution to the bread question is to pick up a baguette, which is just flour, water, yeast and salt.
Most store bought sliced breads have a lot of questionable (as in "may be animal derived") ingredients, like mono and diglycerides.
Most pasta is fine, with the exception of egg noodles.
Flour tortillas may be made with lard, but many are not.
Corn tortillas are a safer option.
Congrats on considering veganism!
Just check the labels.
I'm vegan and bread and pasta are a couple of my staple foods. Yep you can still eat most types.
Like any other prepared food, bread and noodles AREN'T NOT vegan. Eggs and dairy are. Therefore, you find or make bread and noodles without eggs and dairy. It's pretty simple.
Yes, if they contain any animal products including milk and eggs. Lard is from pigs. If lard is in the ingredients, it is NOT a vegan product. You need to read the ingredients carefully on the packages. All brands are different.
I am a former chef and now a vegtarian, Italian and french bread are generally flour, water, yeast, a bit of salt, veg oil and thats it, no milk or animal fats, as for pastas, I used an assortment of non wheat noodles, rice, wild rice, buckwheat (which is a weed not wheat), brown rice and quinoa ones, I like the Asian rice noodles, mung bean and green bean flour ones, and fresh rice noodles are great.
There are so many now it is easy to eat the things you like, be a vegan or vegetarian and not be concerned with a meat issue, with all the veg and fruits out there tofu and other soya product along with seitan and other products you are able to make anything you want.
There are vegan breads and pastas, but you'll have to read the label. I've heard good things about a noodle made from tofu called Shirataki. I've never tried it, but it is vegan.
You wouldn't Survive my freind...eat some meat..get healthy.
no it's not considered part of the diet. but i think it's healthy also if you eat meats. i heard that if you dont eat certain types of foods then it can slow down you digestive system. it's just a suggestion.
