How come raw vegans always feel superior to the rest of us who are vegetarian and vegan?
Q. I'm a vegan and my friend is a raw vegan. She always says that if I am going to eat cooked vegetables I might as well eat a steak, because it is not good for. Far be it, I call her and idiot and ignorant but alot of raw vegans I know feel this way. Is it me, or have you also known people like this? Either way, cooked veggies are still good overall I know 11 raw vegans

What are good vegan foods that you can buy straight at a normal grocery store?
Q. I am vegan and the pricey stuff is not for me. I want to know what good things to eat that I could just buy that maybe aren't made special for vegans, but just don't have any animal byproducts in them. I already looked at PETA's list. Anyone have any good suggestions?

A. - All the fruit and veggies - Dried beans - Rice and whole grain flowers - Nuts, and seeds, some peanut butters and jellies. - Soy Milk, most stores carry it now. You can buy many other products, but read the ingredients since many companies sneek: egg, dairy, and meat into their processed products. - Tofu - Most stores carry some fake meats like: Smart Dogs, Boca and Morning Star. - Some stores have a health food section where you can find stuff like Textured vegetable protein to make your own veggie patties with.

How do Vegan folk get their required nutrients?
Q. I ask this being sincerely curious, because one of my friends recently tried to go completely vegan, but ended up ill, so went back to just vegetarian. I know the difference between vegetarian and vegan is that vegetarians dont eat meat, but vegans dont eat animal by-products either. So, with that being said, how do you personally get your required nutrients to healthily function? i know there's a nutritional supplement for everything these days, but there's got to be something better than that. Thanks!

A. Neither vegans or vegetarians need a vitamin or supplement, as long as they are eating a well researched and well balanced diet. Eating a blend of whole grains (buckwheat, millet, quinoa, flax, amaranth, etc), leafy greens, fruits, vegetables , beans, legumes, pulses, lentils, starches, etc. will ensure that your friend gets all she needs nutritionally. The more obscure vitamins, such as B12 and iron that most people get from animal sources, can easily be found in such things as unsulphored molasses, nutritional yeast, grains, etc. It requires a good deal of research to learn the proper way to eat a vegan diet-but the results are astounding. Too many people just worry about giving up the animal products and by products, but don't do… [cont.]
