With veganism becoming more popular in a quest for better health and environmental longevity, vegan alternatives are populating supermarket shelves worldwide and at an impressive and exponential rate! This is the way of it, and it's hard to go anywhere now, especially in the annual event month of Veganuary, without seeing products, promotions, and advertisements focussed on brand spanking new vegan foodstuffs.
This is all well and good and really quite exciting! We all like food, right? I mean I do! And so, with this in mind, what a lot of people are now discovering on their own respective hunger-quests is that much of their favorite go-to's and snackerooneys are actually the infamous the v-word.
You know how this goes by now, and so here we go, in no particular order, 30 snacks you had no idea were vegan!
[post_page_title]#1 Ritz Crackers[/post_page_title]
You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone's home or abode without a cupboard or pantry full of crackers, cookies, and biscuits. If you were to do a home invasion of an entire street, for example, you'd be sure to find these classic red-boxed crispy foodstuffs in at least one home.

Well, guess what?! They're vegan! Many of us associate crackers with cheese or perhaps flavor butter-based brands alongside our Ritzy Boiis.
Good news, you're already well-into these, keep at it!

*Very smugly, passes of the ingredients list on the back* "Muhahaha! Check again!".
Vegan.
[post_page_title]#3 Swedish Fish[/post_page_title]
It's a well-known fact that a great deal of jelly and or gummy sweets are derived from gelatine which in essence excludes them from the snacky veggies and vegans from the off.

I bet you used to laugh at people scrupulously reading all the packaging in the local supermarket, didn't you?
Guess what? Many of such sweet snacks now fit under the vegan umbrella and these famous little fish are amongst them!
[post_page_title]#4 Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos[/post_page_title]
Doritos are world-renowned for their flavorsome triangular excellence. Growing up in the UK, they were one my favorite ways onto-which to ruin my dinner an hour before it was served.

Yep, and contrary to popular belief they are in fact vegan! Good news to those switching over or trying the diet out for this month.
[post_page_title]#6 Fritos[/post_page_title]

[post_page_title]#9 Duncan Hines Whipped Frosting[/post_page_title]

I bet you saw this coming though! Boom! The Chocolate, Fluffy White, and Vanilla flavors are vegan!
[post_page_title]#10 Super Pretzel[/post_page_title]
Another American classic that became so after the introduction from European settlers, this time from distant Germany. The Germans as a people have hugely popular snack-based cuisine and these doughey knots are right up there!

[post_page_title]#14 Kettle Brand Potato Chips[/post_page_title]
Crisps/chips are a huge, huge deal for me. At university, my friends became quite concerned and astonished at the frequency in which I would ingest bag after bag. Among many brands, Kettle Chips were up there with the best.
[caption id="attachment_4754" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Well, the Maple Bacon, Sea Salt, and Sriracha flavors are vegan and so are a few more I believe, get out there and enjoy some of the best you lovely lot!
[post_page_title]#15 Pringles[/post_page_title]
Still on with our crispy crunch game, we have Pringles! World-famous and for good reason, these stacked chips are addictive from the first bite, pertaining to their "once you pop you can't stop" maxim. We've all eaten a tube to ourselves at one point!

[post_page_title]#16 Nutter Butter[/post_page_title]
Peanut BUTTER, usually contains a large amount of DAIRY to constitute the BUTTER element of its name and you'd be blameless to ignore such products while on your vegan quest as much as you many quite a few staples items.

However, there will be no more of that now! Got it! They're vegan! Go back and get them!

That lovely gooey middle is the best-bit anyway, come on now!
[post_page_title]#22 Hershey's Chocolate Syrup[/post_page_title]
Whenever any friends or family when from the UK to the state-side of things, they would always bring back some US-treats and it almost always, thankfully, always be Hershey's chocolate bars. The brand's cornucopia of treats doesn't end there though!

Why not add some of it to some vegan ice cream or cakes? It's just there, in all its seductively taste-filled glory! Go on, treat yourself, I won't tell anyone.
If you let me have some, that is!
[post_page_title]#23 Ben & Jerry's Non- Dairy Ice Cream[/post_page_title]
Speaking of ice cream, the house-hold name that is Ben & Jerry's have jumped on the plant-based wagon with their range of vegan ice "cream".

I - sure as cream - didn't.
[post_page_title]#26 Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars[/post_page_title]
Nature Valley products are excellent if you want balanced, healthy nutritionally delicious snacks in your diet. Granola is often a regular bed-fellow of dairy milk but once again and not for the first time on this list, you may want to rescind that association just a little.
[caption id="attachment_4767" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Because once again, that "butter" word has been lovingly veganized! As have the brand's Apple Crisp, Cinnamon, Maple Brown Sugar, Pecan Crunch, and Roasted Almond flavors.

[post_page_title]#30 Ore-Ida Tater Tots[/post_page_title]
I had absolutely no idea what these were for many years. I'd hear them mentioned by American friends and just nod along politely. To any British readers, hash-browns would be the nearest thing but anyway, disambiguation isn't why we are here.
[caption id="attachment_4772" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Nope, not at all, we are here because this classic finger-food, buffet, all-you-can-eat champions are only totally vegan!
[post_page_title]#31 Back To Nature Chocolate Chunk Cookies[/post_page_title]
To say that the decision on what close this with was a hard one is an understatement. How do you close a list of snack foods and not risk being underwhelming? Do you go for something random and weird? New and abstract or...
[caption id="attachment_4773" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

... something undeniably classic! Cookies, specifically chocolate chip cookies are perhaps one of the US of A's best snack time treat and global export. And what better way to enjoy Veganuary or your new diet with this cocoa-coction of tasty chunky, round and wholesome sweet crumbly and soft treats.
Are you hungry? I am...
"If you're so against eating animals, why do you eat food that looks and tastes like meat?"
Whether genuine or spiked with sarcasm, this is the question I've seen or heard the most since becoming a vegan.
Now, before we get started, let me put out a disclaimer: I genuinely don't care if you don't follow a vegan diet.
My wife doesn't follow a vegan diet. Many of my friends and family don't follow a vegan diet. So, while it is completely legal to eat animal products, I'll never tell anybody what they should and should not eat. (Therefore, as much as you think it'll annoy me to see a gif of Salt Bae seasoning a steak in the comments section - it won't.)
I have been vegan for over 15 months now and have no plans to move away from a plant-based diet.

My decision to move to a completely vegan diet was a moral one. I personally believe eating and farming animals is cruel, and, in our modern world, completely unnecessary.
Nothing has to die for me to survive. But hey, that's me - like I say, I'm not here to change your mind.
However, when I first told my family that I was vegan, I was met with the second-most-popular question all vegans will hear every other week: "So, what do you eat then?"
What most of my family think I eat three times a day. Credit: Pexels
Well, believe it or not, my diet is not full of avocado brunches, wholegrain salad bowls, and "rabbit food". In fact, my two least favorite words to read together are "vegetable medley". Ew.
No, much to my grandmother's surprise, I eat the same meals as everybody else. I eat cheesy pizzas, juicy burgers, lasagne, curries, nachos, roasts, fajitas, ice cream, stir-fries, gut-busting sandwiches, chocolate cakes, and so, so much more.
The only difference is that these meals don't contain meat or any other animal products, such as milk or eggs. Because thanks to great advances in the food industry, there are now vegan alternatives for almost any animal product.

Sure, vegan products can be hit-and-miss. For example, I've never had a brand of vegan bacon that tastes as good as real bacon. That being said, I've had vegan burgers that would fool even the most die-hard meat-eaters into thinking they're eating a lovely mouthful of flesh.
In fact, my fridge and freezer are full of these substitutes. You know the ones - "Plant-based burgers", "meat-free sausages", "no-fish fingers", "chk'n goujons".
They all look, act, and taste familiar, but contain none of the dead animals.
Which leads me to the big question: If I am so against eating animals, why do I eat products that look, feel, and taste as if they were made from animals?
Well, it is simple. For nearly 28 years of my life, I was a meat-eater. I loved a bacon sandwich on a Sunday morning, my favorite meal was fish and chips, and I couldn't go to Disney without devouring a giant turkey leg.
I may be one of the few vegans who will happily tell you that meat is delicious.
I still drive past Maccies and long for a Big Mac. I still love the smell of a barbecue. And I even catch myself watching hours-upon-hours of cooking shows every week, not realizing that I'm never going to take the time to prepare and eat what they're making.
Vegan meat substitutes can be a bit hit and miss, but I'd rather sacrifice some of the taste and know it's cruelty-free. Credit: Philip Reeve / Alamy
But as I say, morally, I don't think that something has to die in order for me to enjoy a meal.
So if I can find products that replicate the taste and enjoyment of the foods I used to love, but also solve that ethical dilemma, then it is a win-win.
It's a bit like why I play Super Mario. I enjoy running around as the Italian plumber and jumping on turtle's heads. But if I was to put on a pair of overalls and jump on a turtle in the street, you'd probably call me morally reprehensible.
So that is why so many vegans still eat products that look and taste like meat. We agree that meat tastes great - there's absolutely no argument there. But even the tastiest bacon burger in the world will never cancel out the fact that something had to die just for one meal.
Which begs the question: If you can still eat all these wonderful foods without all the animal slaughter, why wouldn't you??

November no longer looks quite so miserable for vegan chocoholics after one of the most popular candy brands on the planet announced their first-ever slate of plant-based bars. Galaxy, which has always had a reputation for making some of the creamiest sweets anywhere, has subverted expectations with a range of flavours completely free from milk chocolate’s signature ingredient.
The trio of vegan bars, which will hit UK shelves on Monday 18th, come in a variety of classic chocolate flavour combinations, including smooth orange, caramel and sea salt, and caramelised hazelnut. All of the new bars have been certified by the Vegan Society.
In an interview with The Guardian, head of the sensory team at Mars, Linda Lopez, said:
"The taste of Galaxy has not changed in the nearly 60 years since it was launched. We wanted to retain the classic smooth and creamy taste and texture without any compromise."
Kerry Cavanaugh, unit director of chocolate at Mars, also added:
“This is our first vegan product and we felt it was time to offer fans of our best-selling Galaxy brand more choice. We expect it to be very popular at Christmas for families and friends to share, as well as in Veganuary.”
Love vegan sweets? Check out this incredible vegan Baileys birthday cake recipe:
Though dark chocolate is often described as “naturally” vegan, making milk chocolate animal-free is another matter entirely. Aside from specialist chocolate shops, finding a flavourful alternative without paying a premium has been almost impossible.
Understandably, therefore, Galaxy’s news has been warmly received by the vegan community. Abigail Stevens, of the Vegan Society, said:
"We're proud to register Galaxy's first ever non-dairy milk chocolate bars with our vegan trademark. The brand has demonstrated that dairy is not necessary to make great tasting chocolate, and that people can still enjoy their favourites without the use of animals."
Seemingly every other week, there's a new diet making the rounds on social media, promising to help us shed the pounds without all that insane discipline or compromising too much in terms of deliciousness. It's a tricky balancing act, and there's a ton of people out there peddling different types of food discipline.
Alongside the vegetarians, vegans and the regular meat eaters, we've got the more left-field eaters who employ a different way to diet. We're talking pescatarians, we're talking about the keto diet and the Atkins diet, we might even be talking about the carnivore diet. But have you ever heard of a flexitarian?
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
I hadn't either, but once you figure out what it is, you'll realise you might have been one all along. According to registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, the newest diet is one you're very familiar with.
"'Flexitarianism' is the hot new term for healthy dieting that minimizes meat without excluding it altogether. This is an inclusive eating plan, meaning it does not take away foods but rather adds new foods to those you already eat. The Flexitarian Diet gradually guides you to eat more veggies while still enjoying your favorite meats."
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Getty]]
Now, I don't know about you, but I feel as if we're already really familiar with the flexitarian diet. The way it's described, it's a combination of eating meat with vegetables and other non-meat products. It... it sounds a lot like... just being an omnivore.
But even so, that's not stopped some food brands from jumping on the trend, and producing some flexitarian menu foods. One such brand is the budget favourite Aldi, who made the rounds last week for producing a 'flexitarian' burger, but not everyone's exactly what you'd call "on board".
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Aldi]]
Okay, so above you should be able to spot the flexitarian burger, made with what looks to be fresh British beef. But one angry vegan is slamming Aldi for their newest store item. Laura Paterson posted an astonishing rant about Aldi flexitarian burgers on Facebook, letting everyone know exactly how she felt about flexitarianism.
"Are you taking the mickey? Is this for real? Flexitarian is not a thing. You either eat meat or you don't. Don't use Flexitarian as a poxy bit of advertising to flog your products. It's a meat burger and that's all there is to it. You've got this very wrong."
"If you're eating meat, technically you're an omnivore," she added, but the 44-year-old vegan got smacked down on the social media post, with other people labelling her a "ranting hysterical bore". This from user Robert John:
"Surely you should be encouraging people to try this diet rather than pushing them straight to veganism where ranting like a hysterical bore becomes a massive side effect!"
Yeah, it didn't take very long for things to descend into a flame war, this being the internet and all. But at least we've got a new way to eat that can help us to feel better about our dieting choices. Well, if we could stop arguing about it, that is...
The number of people turning to veganism has absolutely soared in the last few years. As a society, we are starting to become more aware of the fact that the well-documented horrors of factory farming don't just centre around raising animals for meat. Indeed, the process behind obtaining eggs and dairy products is, for an increasing number of people, hard to stomach.
As such, there is a big market for vegan food these days. And Aldi is doing their best to cater to those of their customers who choose to live on a plant-based diet. In fact, the bargain supermarket chain is now selling a new vegan range of very affordable ready meals as part of its 'I am vegan' collection.
Take a look at this fascinating Aldi employee training video:
For just £1.99 for a 400g pack, you can get yourself a red pepper and mango curry, Thai yellow curry and smoky jackfruit chilli.
The red pepper and mango curry is made with brown rice, red pepper, mango, black turtle beans and sugar snap peas in a coconut curry sauce infused with ginger, garlic and coriander.
The Thai yellow curry comes with brown and black rice, aubergine, red peppers, lentils and spring onions in a Thai-inspired coconut curry sauce.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Aldi]]
And last but not least, the smoky jackfruit chilli consists of red peppers and red onion in a smoky chipotle sauce with brown rice.
The new vegan range launched on September 8, is currently available to buy in-store and will be available to purchase all year round.
And if that's not quite enough to satisfy your hunger for vegan food. There are also some vegan Special Buys available this week too, but unfortunately, these are only available while stocks last. This includes their cans of jackfruit for £1.19 (400g), which is known for being a good meat substitute.
A woman has admitted to feeding her daughter's 12-year-old vegan friend meat because she appeared to be "malnourished".
Taking to Reddit's infamous "Am I The A**hole" thread - where users share their stories and others vote on who was in the wrong - the Redditor, who goes by the username 'believeblackbodies' on the site, wanted to know if she was right to allow the girl to eat non-plant-based meals - despite her parents' wishes.
She explained: "My daughter and her friend, M, are both 12 years old and like to have sleepovers every now and then. M's family maintains a strict vegan diet where she isn't even allowed to drink milk.
"Her parents are nice people although a bit on the neurotic side. M is a bright young girl and she's a good friend to my daughter but I noticed how much smaller and paler she is compared to my daughter. I think it's likely tied to her family's diet."
Credit: Brent Hofacker / Alamy
So, thinking M's paleness was linked to her plant-based diet, the mom has taken it upon herself to prepare a big meaty meal for her whenever she stays over.
The Reddit user recalled: "Last weekend, I made some cheeseburgers and steak for them on the grill with a big glass of milk. M absolutely loves it and always politely asks for more (which I happily provide).
"For snacks, I give them some of my venison jerky. For breakfast, I typically make a big plate of scrambled eggs and bacon again with a big glass of milk."
According to the meat-eating mom, M always manages to wolf down whatever she makes for her despite her small size. She also claimed that the girl always left their home with a "healthy glow".
She concluded: "I know I probably shouldn't be doing this but I think M is a bit malnourished (nothing against vegans or anything). She knows she'll get in big trouble if she tells her folks. (I think she fibs a bit to her parents about what she eats)."
The consensus on Reddit is that the mom definitely is the "a**hole" in this situation, with many reminding her that it is not for her to decide what the girl can and can't eat.
One person argued: "She’s being quite disrespectful and irresponsible. The girl could have a medical condition she doesn’t know about. She definitely needs to stop and have a chat with the parents."
Credit: Reddit
Another said: "Adults shouldn’t be asking children to keep secrets. Full stop. Also, there’s a good chance that kid is going to have gut issues because they aren’t used to that huge amount of dairy."

A third wrote: "There is a massive power imbalance there. Kids are often taught that you be a polite guest and don’t argue with the adult in charge. A lot of kids at 12 would not at all be comfortable speaking up for themselves. [Original poster] is the a**hole."
