Without being politically incorrect and respecting everyone’s opinions and all….I think everyone needs more bacon. And chicken wings. With hot buffalo sauce. Just saying.
I often wonder this, I go ahead and eat it. The only way to insure that your food has no trace of any animal product is to raise it and manufacture it yourself. Of course it’s not ideal, but it is practical
I love chocolate. I have tried carob. It doesn’t taste the same at all.
Main ingredients is what I personally worry about. May contain is an allergen/liability label issue required by the government. If a chocolate bar does not list milk as a main ingredient, or milk fat, I don’t consider it a vegetarian product instead of a vegan one.
Yes, we live in an imperfect world. It is what it is. We can’t be perfect
I have bought products that ingrediants are 100% dried fruit and nuts that still have to be labeled as ‘may cointain traces of milk’. Though with ready meals or anything with more ingrediants/processed i am far more wary and avoid it.
Ethical vegans shouldn’t be buying chocolate in the first place unless, as you say, its fair trade. I understand that it’s hard to always be ethical when it comes to buying fair trade but in the case of chocolate there should be no excuse.
It always annoys me when vegans get bent up on the small amount of milk in chocolate and remain ignorant of the slavery of its production, which is far more serious than a trace of milk.
Small amounts of milk = not vegan. Period.
you have just answered a question that has bothered me for a while. Thank you!!!!
I have a question: What’s your stance on honey?
that’s interesting.
i thought vegan meant No Animal Products.
These factories clean the lines after running products made with milk ingredients. They do have to put the disclaimer, but that’s no reason to avoid the product if it’s vegan. Put it this way, when you go a non-veg restaurant of friends place, they wash the dishes after they’ve had meat on it…this could technically be a “may contain traces of meat”, but really, it’s been washed, no need to be super-paranoid over it!
I don’t touch products that have traces of milk even though in many cases it is likely a disclaimer..
I love your videos! how old are you?
