ALthough you can find a great range of vegan food in supermarkets, and alot can be found in the 'free from' section!. Sainsburys and co - op lable their own food vegan!.
My favorite brand of vegan chocolate has to be plamil, they do a white chocolate, a dark, a milk, a mint, a hazelnut, and loads more, it tastes just like chocolate should, and is registered with the vegan society, so is 100% vegan!.

If it's too hard, then you won't do it!. It's your mindset that's gotta change before you'll have any success!. Ask yourself why you want to be vegan!. If that answer is important enough to you, then you'll never go back :)
And trust me, vegan sweets of all kinds are awesomely yummy and easy to make!. You can even call around, most cities have specialty bakerys that carry vegan items!. My son's first birthday cake came from the Whole Foods bakery and it was sooooo good and vegan!.
It can be hard, if you choose to see it that way, so instead think about all the good you'll be doing for yourself!. Milk chocolate might taste good for a little while, but loads of hormones and blood and whatnot is not so appetizing!. The meat and dairy industry and very good at perpetuating lies in order to keep you hooked on their products, just like makeup companies and toy commercials and anyone else out to make a buck!. Realize that their main interest is not in your health, but in your wallet!. It kind of sucks all the fun out of being an omnivore!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Stupid Should Hurt - most cows are treated badly when the milk is taken from them, its inhumane!. also they may not eat sugar because cows bones are ground up and used to whiten sugar or filter to decolorize the sugar!. i know the companys Domino,
Savannah Foods and California & Hawaiian Sugar Company use bone char filters in their sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most of the vegan food taste the same!. You might be able to taste a slight difference at first!. There are many subsitiutes to many products made out of dairy though!. The only hard part is trying to stay vegan when most stuff is made out of dairy products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I just don't understand this vegan thing!. What is so wrong with milk and eggs!? I guess I can sort of see this thing if you believe it is cruel to kill animals, but sucking milk out of a cow's teets is hardly cruel or painful for them!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
