		<description>If you really want to eat it, eat it. 

You don&#039;t have to abide by every strict rule of veganism there is. Just be yourself and don&#039;t worry about the standards. Veganism is pretty hardcore. If you can&#039;t do it perfectly, that&#039;s ok. Every little bit helps.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vegan that eats honey!</description>

		<description>Honestly, that quorn stuff, and other meat/cheese replacements, are just processed junk anyway. I eat them about as often as I eat junk food, which is rarely. Plus, it gets expensive...you&#039;ll be amazed at how cheap a vegan diet *really* is as long as you cut the crap. 

Watch out for: milk, whey, and casein (including sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate) as ingredients, as well as egg albumin and albumin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;vegan bodybuilder and personal trainer</description>

		<description>as a vegan, if you don&#039;t know what something contains, assume it isn&#039;t vegan.

A lot of biscuits and cereals contain whey powder.

Items that are fortified with vitamin D most often contain a form that is from Lanolin (sheep wool)&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>There are no seemingly vegan foods full of dairy.  There are vegetarian foods that are full of dairy, egg, and honey (the three most talked about vegan no-nos).

If you really want to be on a vegan diet, you should not assume anything with packaged foods.  Unless you&#039;re buying fresh fruits and vegetables, you need to check ingredient lists or look for &quot;vegan&quot; on the label.  Even nuts, seeds, and some packaged fruits/vegetables may contain dairy, egg, honey, or other animal products.

Products from Quorn, Morningstar, Bocca, and other makers of vegetarian products very often put egg and dairy in their products.  Unless they mark it as vegan, there&#039;s a good chance it&#039;s not.  For example, I just looked at the ingredients in a few Quorn items.  They all included some form of dairy and egg.  Some products actually had &quot;cheese&quot; in the name of the product!

So, if you&#039;re not into read labels, I&#039;d stick to only fresh products.  Even those, if you&#039;re really really strict vegan, may have residual animal products.  Almost no one is that strict, but if you are...&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m not a vegan, but I can&#039;t eat dairy, so I look for vegan items.  I&#039;ve been disappointed that many veggie burgers contain dairy, for example.</description>

		<description>I was able to easily and safely lose 33 pounds using Isagenix.  Not only that, but the maintenance program has helped me keep it off and have much more energy than I had before.  I LOVE this stuff!!  The cleansing part of it helps eliminate cravings.  Also, my hair and skin are healthier.  I get positive comments all the time from my friends.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Title: NORWEGIAN BIRTHDAY CAKE (BLOTKAKE)
  Categories: Cakes, Ethnic
       Yield: 10 Servings
       5    Eggs, separated
     3/4 ts Cream of tartar
   1 1/2 c  Sugar
     1/2 c  Water
       1 ts Vanilla
   1 1/2 c  Flour
       1 ts Baking powder
       2 c  Whipping cream
            Strawberries, optional
  
 In a bowl beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar. Set aside. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Stir in water and vanilla. Sift flour twice with baking powder. Stir flour into egg-yolk mixture by hand, until thoroughly combined. Fold in egg-white mixture. Pour mixture into 2 (8-inch) round parchment-lined cake pans and bake at 350 degrees about 30 to 40 minutes, or until wood pick inserted in center comes out dry. When cool, divide each cake into 2 layers. Whip cream. Save enough whipped cream to decorate outside of cake. Add crushed strawberries with juice to rest of whipped cream. Then spread on top of layers.
     Each serving contains about: 382 calories; 108 mg sodium; 172 mg cholesterol; 20 grams fat; 45 grams carbohydrates; 6 grams protein; 0.05gram fiber.
     
This sponge cake is also delicious on its own or as a base for fruit and whipped cream.

		<description>According to wikipedia Quorn uses egg whites as a binder, so I personally don&#039;t even consider that vegetarian. Some do, and that&#039;s cool. 

You could take a &#039;flexitarian&#039; view on veganism, and live a generally vegan lifestyle, and just indulge in certain things very occasionally. be a &#039;fleexan  haha. Just coined that term.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I feed a raw diet, and raise a breed that can be prone to skin problems, allergies and vaccinosis/immune problems.
Advantages:
Better nutrition, complete control of the ingredients, amazing health, coat, muscle tone, etc, provides some sort of mental exercise they seem to need, better dental health, and so many more things.
Disadvantages:
Time and expense and you need to do some research. 

I feel the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages in the long run. Although you see immediate effects, I know of breeders that are on their third generation of raw fed dogs, and they just keep getting healthier, not to mention increasing length and quality of life of their first and second generation dogs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
