Junk Food Vegan

On Peta's website there is a page called accidentally vegan. This is a list of a grip of foods you can find at most every grocery store that are vegan. The most interesting items listed are those that are junk food and people would assume since they are not healthy there is no way they can be vegan. Making your vegan diet centered around these foods would not be a good idea, however, vegans can have junk food too right? As of recently, I'm trying to take a step back and take a more natural approach to my vegan diet. I've been researching the raw vegan diet a bit, and it made me take a step back and reflect on how much of a junk food vegan I had become. With that said, I believe that vegans can have awesome junk food or couch potato cuisine, and "pig out" like the rest of the good ol' US of A. (No offense meant to pigs in the last sentence.) Here is a list of my favorite, shockingly vegan* items as listed from Peta's website:

There is way more than that listed on the site, so check it out! Being vegan, you also become a major label reader in the grocery store. I recommend checking the label on items you are curious on and then researching the crazy ingredients they have listed. You might be surprised how many companies use soy instead of milk or have plant derived mono- & di- glycerides.
