What all can you NOT eat as a vegan?
I know you cant have dairy and stuff... but is that just like ice cream and milk and stuff like that or is there something more? I am a vegetarian and I am seriously thinking about going vegan. Thanks guys!
Answers:
vegans don't eat any animal products or anything that has animal byproducts. there's a list somewhere online of what these byproducts are - google it. some, for instance, are gelatin, glycerine (unless noted that it comes from a vegetable source), rennet, etc. Obviously, no meat or dairy.
however, that does not mean no ice cream or cake or cookies. vegans have everything without the animal products. in any health food store, you can find amazing vegan ice cream and ice cream sandwiches where you wouldn't even tell the difference. my favorite ice cream flavor so far is Rice Cream in the carrot cake flavor as well as the mudd pie flavor. where i'm from, michigan, the whole foods markets in the surrounding areas offer these amazing cakes from the chicago diner, an awesome restaurant in chicago (veggiediner.com). it's not that difficult to find vegan cakes and cookie and pastries. if you'd like to find restaurants and health food stores in your area, try happycow.net
good luck.
