What is vegan cereal?

It's cereal that does not have any animal products in it.

OK, my next dumb question then. What animal products are in cereal? I'm thinking its lots of grains & nuts. But I'm guessing I'm wrong.

Why would cereal have animal products in it?

I've been looking up cereal ingredients too & I haven't found one yet that has an animal product in the ingredient list. Lots of grains, corn, starches, sugars & sometimes soy & nuts. No milk or eggs.

FC can you enlighten us as to what cereal you have found that has animal products in them? Obviously you've done your research & you would know more about this than I. I know alot of people have to read the ingredients panel for allergies & diet restrictions, but I would never have thought cereal had any animal products in it. Learn something new every day.

Obvious you use soy milk in your cereal. I've tasted vanilla & chocolate soymilk...and was QUITE surprised at how good it was. I expected it to be alot worse to tell you the truth. I would have no problems using soy milk in my cereal or cooking. NOT so sure I could drink a glass straight, but I can't drink a glass of cow milk straight either. lol I have to put chocolate in it.

Honey. Also, I think it has to do with something about vitamin D. That's what I read anyway.

Sometimes I like to put my little blueberries in my vegan cereal

Sounds painful

 

[SplshMtn99]

Honey.

Well there ya go. See, I knew there had to be one. OK, so its just a few cereals then that vegans don't eat. Thanks, I was thinking more along the lines of a main ingredient & couldn't figure it out.

And I was thinking animal....never even thought about insects. Thanks again.

By the way, I edited my post. I read something else about vegan cereal and the whole issue of vitamins in regular cereals.

Really?

I have a step sister-in-law who is a vegetarian, and its always a challenge for me to make a meal when she is here. I want to make something she'll enjoy, yet I'm a meat & potatoes gal. So, I'm always trying to learn. I do know that she will eat something if it has eggs & milk in it though. (I think I got that right.)

So, I can feed her cereal with soymilk & I'll be safe. lol

They don't kill or restrict bees at all. Why would vegans be opposed to a symbiotic arrangement? I can see excluding things that exploit animals but bees are busy doing bee work and beekeeping gives them a safe place to do that.

MILK is an animal product, though I don't like to think of it as a "product." He doesn't put cow's milk on his cereal. He uses the synthesized liquid by-product of a bean as his "milk".

 

[Miss_Nellie]

Okay, color me confused.

Why don't vegans consume honey? I understand meats and poultry since an animal was killed but you don't kill bees to get the honey. Are eggs off limits too?

I was wondering that too, but figured I asked enough questions. lol After all, honey is made from pollen.

 

[oxfordcircus]

There are varying stages of vegetarianism. Vegans are supposed to not eat anything an animal produces, nor do they sleep on feather pillows.

 

[MosMom]

Many plants you might eat are pollinated by bees though. Should you not eat plants that may have had help from a bee? The honey thing just doesn't make sense to me.
