I think the most jarring thing is many bacon bits being made out of soy with zero pig at all.

This discovery has completely obliterated any possible health benefits of my veganism 🎈

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i know, like, fuck the tofu and the beans and whatever, im just going to be om nomming down oreos constantly now

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

fuck the tofu

volcel-kamala

Literally. All my favourite biscuits are vegan and I'm a biscuit fiend. Jammy Dodgers, Oreos, Ginger Nuts, Digestives, Hob-nobs. I never stood a chance.

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a pretty common vegan line tbh for "See look at all the stuff you can still eat."

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

yeah, i recently started veganism and i've basically just sworn of all biscuits because they basically always have milk in them so like, i was really confused when a vegan friend sent me a picture of the deep fried oreo muffin things she'd made

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Deep frying being vegan but coded masculine seems like an attack vector

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I ate nothing but dumplings for like a month and a half one time. Being vegan should never stop you from eating like a trash bag person

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

shoveling Krispy Kreme knockoffs cooked with shortening into your face im-vegan

Hey, remember that month when I only ate boxes of tangerines?

Palm oil is a hell of a drug

[–] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah I feel like this is an example of palm oil and soy/sunflower lectin just barely edging out milk solids for cost efficiency.

Hopefully it stays that way

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Modern palm oil production is probably the one thing that's more environmentally intensive than beef

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

I don’t know if it was the same for Muslim kids, but Jews of a certain age remember when they took the lard out of Oreos in the 90s and we stopped having to eat the off-brand ones

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are lots of vegan trash foods. Oreos are the king though.

I have no doubt that they being vegan was not intentional and they will crease to be vegan the moment they discover a non-vegan alternative to one of their ingredients.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Actually they used to contain pig lard until 1997 when Nabisco switched it out to make Oreos kosher

Religious dietary restrictions solidarity veganism

Making carnist Anglos eat their fucking veggies

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

Oreos are my favorite vegetable

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

This reminds me of a something I found out while working at a vegan restaurant which will is ironic with the tale, I saw on the label for our roll of aluminum foil that it was labeled Kosher. Which I thought was weird cause it's aluminum foil. So looking into it what the deal was that the factories producing the foil lubricated their machinery with some kinda pig lard based lube cause they could buy it cheap from the pork industry. Do now they use machine lube not made of pig fat. The making things Kosher crowd has done a bit for the vegans.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

theyre just going to make it so that when you bite into them, instead of the white bit in the middle it's just a thin layer of raw beef to own the libs

it fucking rules. they're so good too

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If this fact went viral - the American right-wing would have marches with guns where they chant-scream "Lard!" because they want it back in their cookies.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"yeah Oreos are actually a knock off of Hydrox anyway"

Which is factually correct but something about a food named Hydrox sounds terrible.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hydrox sounds like some disgusting Aussie marsupial that went extinct 50,000 years ago.

Generic brand toilet cleaner

It sounds like a special shampoo you have to use when you get pubic lice

oreos and soy milk yim yum

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (13 children)

vegan looking biscuit

I think you mean cookie.

You see because biscuit refers to a savory bun that is eaten with breakfast, while cookie refers to a small sweet baked good eaten as desert.

Just wanted to correct you, we don't want to sound like Br*tish people do we? england-cool

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if you don't want to sound British stop speaking English

Vegan horseshoe theory:

  • $ = only starch and floor scrapings = vegan
  • $$ = whey in everything
  • $$$ = butter in everything
  • $$$$ = intentional specialty ingredients = vegan

If they contain no elements found in nature they can't contain animal products

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

That's how you can truly appreciate diet sodas.

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I knew a vegan girl whose diet was like 15% oreos and I'm not exaggerating.

I tried making a bunch ofvegan food for her and she didn't like anything lol

Yeah and a lot of bacon chips are vegan as well. You would not believe the joy one spreads when one tells a Muslim that the bacon chips are halal

[–] charly4994@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They will sell those same vegan bacon chips at 300% markup if you go to the vegan aisle though.

A lot of the "bacon bits" in spice containers you can buy for salads are also vegan.
