The Complete Guide for New and Aspiring Vegans
Viva!'s newest guide!
 |
This 48 page booklet explains the who's (animals) and why's (planet & health) a person goes vegan. It describes what veganism is and provides a detailed product guide. Vegan Basics has ads from many well-known vegan companies along with those from rising stars. Delicious recipes fill the side panels. Information on cruelty-free products and non-leather items makes going vegan a cinch! Complete with Boo Hiss (animal products) and a Hurray (vegan items) glossary.
Below is a sample:
Ice Cream
Dairy ice cream obviously contains dairy products, usually in the
form of milk or milk derivatives. If the label on your ice cream, however,
reads 'non-dairy' or uses the phrase 'non-milk fats', don't assume that
this makes it vegan as these may contain pork or other animal fats. The
good news is there are loads of scrumptious vegan ice creams widely available!
If you find it difficult to get hold of vegan ice cream or prefer something
fruity, you could try sorbets and frozen fruit snacks instead. But more
and more regular grocery stores are starting to carry these vegan ice
cream treats!
Double
Rainbow Soy Cream
All varieties are vegan. We have heard that Butter Pecan, Cookie Vanilla

Lemon, Mango Tangerine, Marion Blackberry, Rainbow and Raspberry). Both
are available in parlors featuring Double Rainbow Ice Cream and some health
food grocery markets and specialty grocery markets.
