Oh dear lord just stop it you sound brainwashed. I am a vegan yup a vegan and I don't get my panties in a bunch because people buy vegan options at fast food places. If you can't buy vegan friendly things from places because they sell meat you can not shop ANYWHERE. No where. There is no vegan grocery stores by me or any that I have ever heard of. You can't go to grocery stores because they sell meat. No Whole Foods, no Trader Joes, my farmers market has people who sell meat so I guess I can't go there either!! Come on and get real. No one cares how hard core vegan you pretend to be. Also you can only go to restaurants fancy or not that are only 100% vegan if you truly believe you can't buy anything from a place that sells meat and dairy. Where does it stop? When you buy your dog or cat vegan food (if you do) can you not go to a pet store that sells dog food with meat in it either? Vegans need to stop judging vegans. It's about the cause not whose more fake hard core than the other.Josienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21635677.post-76900022208972047102012-09-18T16:38:16.727-04:002012-09-18T16:38:16.727-04:00Unfortunately people are kind of getting bullied t...Unfortunately people are kind of getting bullied to eat meat.<br /><br />When it's socially acceptable to call people names or question their sexuality because they decide to stop eating meat or go vegan then it's a form of bullying.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21635677.post-23156292961107803262012-07-06T04:48:35.978-04:002012-07-06T04:48:35.978-04:00As a member of PETA (People eating tasty animals) ...As a member of PETA (People eating tasty animals) I can say that if the world changes the fast food restaurants and makes them only vegan, then I will change over to cannibalism and eat you!!<br /><br />Ok, joking aside -- why would anyone suggest that vegan should be forced on anyone?

Boycotting a business because a portion of it sales contains animal products is a specious argument. I wonder where those people shop. Last time I checked, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s all sell meat products in their stores. I guess you could grow everything yourself and make all your own soy products, but most of us don't have the time for that. The most effective way to change a business is to purchase products you want, that contain the ingredients you are looking for, and then encourage everyone to do the same. Companies will expand those offerings that sell and remove those that don't. As the vegan movement grows, companies that don't change will ultimately fail. That's how we change the world.Jesterizenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21635677.post-72572474086428279442011-11-21T03:11:32.712-05:002011-11-21T03:11:32.712-05:00This won't actually have effect, I suppose lik...This won't actually have effect, I suppose like this.tienda-erotica.jimdo.comhttp://tienda-erotica.jimdo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21635677.post-54466804811594768452011-10-19T13:12:38.038-04:002011-10-19T13:12:38.038-04:00Don't eat their taco salads.

I am a cycling vegi/carni bodybuilder.<br /><br />Most of the time if I wan't to eat fast food like Taco Bell, I make smart substitutions like ordering sides from the add on menue and tortillas, then adding quorn scrables with taco seasoning (I don't do a lot of soy right now) or adding my own seitan "chicken" to salads. Just recently I began playing around with pea protein (Burmese tofu) "burgers".<br /><br />It's all generally relative to your life style.

I'm also a vegan, too, ;D<br /><br />The flatbread is in fact vegan. No dairy or anything in there.<br /><br />The beans do not contain lard. They come pre-packaged (dry) and we add SUPER hot water to cook them. That's all.<br /><br />If you get something Fresco style, be aware that pieces of cheese almost always gets into the pico salsa since those two items are next to each other on the line. So, if you get a fresco bean burrito, I would check to see if a piece of cheese accidentally got in there.<br /><br />No meat products or anything is fried in the same oil as the chalupa shells. So you don't have to worry about cross-contamination there.<br /><br />The only things fried in the oil (which is canola at the store I work at ... not sure if it's the same for each Taco Bell) is chalupa shells, potato bites, nacho chips, cinnamon twists (which are actually pasta noodles, believe it or not!), taco salad shells, and mexican pizza shells.<br /><br /><i>And for any vegetarians who stumble across this website, there is gelatin in the sour cream, so take that off anything if you choose to omit gelatin from your diet.</i><br /><br />Hopefully this will help some of you.<br /><br />A little fun piece of info: I've met more vegans who work at Taco Bell than I have ever met before! :DJackienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21635677.post-7612804472574147972010-07-28T16:02:50.499-04:002010-07-28T16:02:50.499-04:00Yes! The chalupa shell is vegan! To clear out any ...Yes! The chalupa shell is vegan! To clear out any confusion, when the chalupa first came out, the shell had milk in it and was clearly not vegan. It seems as if they've reformulated it, as evidenced by the ingredient statement linked above. Now all Taco Bell shells/tortillas are vegan, including the gordita flatbread! I browsed through the full ingredient list and didn't notice any vegan gotchas... if it's not vegan, it should be obviously not vegan just by the name.<br /><br />Taco Bell has also introduced their "Fresco Style" menu, where items are topped with pico de gallo salsa instead of sour cream and cheese. But you aren't restricted to those particular items... just say Fresco Style for any item, and the dairy-containing condiments will be replaced by salsa. Almost everything on the Taco Bell menu can be made vegan just by ordering it "sub bean, Fresco style."chidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553336323022981783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21635677.post-22075769916388428412010-06-29T21:10:40.824-04:002010-06-29T21:10:40.824-04:00I am a vegan and I had a craving for a chalupa she...I am a vegan and I had a craving for a chalupa shell today.
