Is there a list of basic foods that vegans cannot eat besides the obvious?!


Question: Is there a list of basic foods that vegans cannot eat besides the obvious?
I am starting a vegan diet. I have been a vegetarian for 4 years so I got that covered.. but how do i make the transition to being vegan? I know not to eat any dairy, egg or honey. And obviously continue not eating meat, fish, gelatin. But it seems to be more complicated than that. Is there a list of basic foods that I cant eat? Like i heard white sugar is made in bone char. Also what about different products like deodorant? Some one told me most aren't vegan. So I just would like a basic list of stuff that are never vegan and things you have to check the ingredients on. Do you guys know of any good websites like that?

I've had people eat my cookies/muffins/cupcakes and not even know it was vegan, so whoever's you're eating must not be kitchen savvy.

@Original Poster: I found veganism easy diet wise, it's the daily things like soaps/lotions/haircare/detergent and other household common things that I find to be a pain. Just look up a lot a brands that you use and write down the alternatives. Try to commit to memory.



first of all i highly doubt you were a real vegetarian ... sorry.

since you gotta ask... that probably is the provication for this answer.

raw vegetarian.. 43 yrs..



You would love my brother's fiancee, she's a militant vegan, and it annoys the crap out of everyone.
I will tell you in advance, without getting into the six zillion arguments she and I have had, that:
Everything that you cook and/or bake, as a vegan? No one else likes it. Chocolate chip cookies that "taste exactly the same?" People are taking half of a bite and choking it down, and throwing the rest away as soon as is practical. All while saying "mmm" to your vegan face. It's disgusting.
If you're going to be vegan by yourself, then fine. But good luck getting other people to like it.
