Imagine not caring about the lives of yeast. Humans can be so heartless.
Wine may be filtered using animal tissue, but many wines are vegan
Guinness as well
well, ackshually - The fishy ingredient in beer that bothers vegetarians - BBC
Well, ackshually akshually - drink German beer. With very few exceptions, it's only allowed to contain barley, hops, yeast and water. That law has existed in some form for over 500 years.
It still allows using other substances in the production process if they are filtered out afterwards.
Which vegans would still reject.A German guy once told me that the original penalty for violating that law was that the brewer was to be drowned in his own beer - to be fair, he was quite drunk at the time, so it might be complete bullshit.
No they aren't, unless specified. A lot is isinglass (spelling?) To clarify it, which is fish parts.
Isinglass is not used very much outside breweries trying to do really traditional British styles, because it's finicky and there are better and cheaper options. I'd say that the most common thing making beer non-vegan is adding adjuncts like lactose in milk stouts.
Some beer has honey and milk ingredients
Vegan things:
Bread, potatos, noodles, water, air all vegetables, all fruits, 70+% of the average diet.
Vegan is not hard
I'm sorry but absolutely not.
Finding vegan foods is easy, as you've pointed out, however eating well as a vegan takes thought and planning. Especially in the beginning.
This is why so many people fail when they first start. They just cut out everything with animal products, and end up eating bread and salad, and give up when they're basically malnourished and starving.
Saying Vegan is not hard is a disservice to anyone seriously considering it. Instead of being condescending about it, give people resources to help them get it right.
Its a miracle how people can eat absolute garbage but the amount of supplements that is already in the animal products (and all that 1% uptaken plant material) kinda fix that
Most non-dairy drinks can be vegan. Why do beer and wine in particular surprise you?
I told a friend of mine I was making Mead and she told me that is not interested because Mead is not vegan. I really forgot that she was vegan and then I started thinking "People usually make fun of vegan food, but beer and wine can be considered vegan (with the exception people has already pointed out) and those are fun drink"
Vegan food being a joke is also a misconception. Vegan stuff can be pretty fucking delicious, but it's more dependent on you flavoring it correctly.
If you fuck up non-vegan food, there is a good chance is it is still alright. If you fuck up vegan food, there is a good chance it's not great.
But properly prepared it can be so awesome.
Oreo cookies are technically vegan.
Wellllllll, maybe. Whitened sugar is processed with bone char, and given how white the stuf is, there’s a good chance that it’s also processed that way.
Without any animal or dairy products, these chocolate sandwich cookies are now basically vegan. (We say basically because there can be some cross-contamination with milk during production).
Ohh shit. Is beer gonna turn me gay?
