Technically yes but, they admitted cross contact ingredients with dairy products and they filter sugar using bone char. According to oreo these two things alone make oreo technically not suitable for vegans. Oreo said this, I didn’t make it up. Google it.

I can’t speak for all vegans, but when I ate a vegan diet, I didn’t care about foods that were potentially in contact with animal products. The point of the lifestyle choice (for me) is to decrease the demand for meat. I might be eating a fraction of a portion of beef when I eat an impossible whopper, but no beef is being bought or sold. So yes, there are plenty of vegans out there who can eat Oreos without a guilty conscience.

Yeah cross contamination is not something I really worry about as a vegan. Not something that’s going to “make or break” a particular food item for me.

I’m not allergic to animal products (where I’ll be sick simply from touching them), I just choose not to consume them.

Wine fined with egg/dairy/fish product, yay or nay? 😊

Not the person you asked, but I try to get wine that is vegan. My goal is to contribute as little as I can to the demand for animal products, and non vegan wine is part of that.

So... I'm not the only one who always found the taste of the cookies unpleasant?

There's just... Something off about it.

No more fish guts in my beer I knew it tasted different :,(

GetsGold t1_iy78n8q wrote

I realize you might be joking, but just for your information, the fish guts weren't used in the original process of making Guinness, they were only used starting in the mid-19th century. It was done to save costs and they were filtered out, so not related to taste.

Mmm yum, hydrogenated fats !

Factbox:

Oreo cookies used to be made with lard. And now they're kosher. Oreo cookies were made with lard until the mid-1990s, when Nabisco swapped the animal fat with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil

Really now? I had no idea!

Also found out after making my own at home that McDonalds apple pies are vegan in the US at least.

I thought so too! It was annoying that they started off talking about “holier than thou” stuff, but it was a fun episode 😊

There's a little known secret about Oreos.

If you break them in half and shake them all the calories fall out!!

NotHappyTilUNotHappy t1_iy7720h wrote

I had a vegan friend stay with me for a week and that dude ate an entire box of Oreos one night. I asked him what that was all about and he immediately replied that he's not doing it for his health; He's doing it for the animals.

I guess I'm vegan...wait what do you mean milk isn't vegan, welp back to being an omnivore

Swarzsinne t1_iy3ybhq wrote

Since being vegan is more of a political thing than anything else, it seems counterproductive to support a product that probably boosts milk sales more than almost anything else.

Edit: I’m not vegan. The comment seems to imply I am, so I’m just clarifying.

So you still buy products from companies that aren’t vegan friendly?

Bro do you even know what political means? Or are you just a u.s conservative that uses it as a buzzword?

Swarzsinne t1_iy41uzr wrote

Read my other response to you. And I’m not sure what the point of the second half of your comment is other than to demonstrate you think there are actually good politicians.

KungFuGarbage t1_iy3zlpd wrote

Political isn’t the right word, Veganism is based around morality.

I’m also not a vegan

Swarzsinne t1_iy3zox1 wrote

Seems like a semantic point to me.

KungFuGarbage t1_iy3zzg3 wrote

I’m just clarifying your poor word choice. Your point about Oreos marketing itself along with milk is still valid.

Poor word choice to you.

Lol okay buddy

Swarzsinne t1_iy414tw wrote

Just for the sake of actually clarifying, I say political because it influences which companies you’ll support and how you want legal policies to be developed. You can simply be vegetarian for moral reasons but if you’re going to promote it up to civic action that’s where veganism comes in.

I also say it’s semantics because which political issues are not also moral issues?

Edit: To the person that responded then blocked, stop being a coward. What’s the point of responding then blocking unless you think you don’t actually have a point?

Veganism doesn't require civic action, just not eating animal products. It's literally the same as vegetarianism on a political scale?
