Vegan things:
Bread, potatos, noodles, water, air all vegetables, all fruits, 70+% of the average diet.
Vegan is not hard
I'm sorry but absolutely not.
Finding vegan foods is easy, as you've pointed out, however eating well as a vegan takes thought and planning. Especially in the beginning.
This is why so many people fail when they first start. They just cut out everything with animal products, and end up eating bread and salad, and give up when they're basically malnourished and starving.
Saying Vegan is not hard is a disservice to anyone seriously considering it. Instead of being condescending about it, give people resources to help them get it right.
Its a miracle how people can eat absolute garbage but the amount of supplements that is already in the animal products (and all that 1% uptaken plant material) kinda fix that
Not all bread and noodles are vegan, or even vegetarian.
True. Most of them though.
Dry pasta is. Any other noodle will not be. Eggs are used in a lot of places.
There's also dry pasta with eggs.
Usually sold as egg noodles, yes.
Most Italian died pasta is going to be made with just flour and water, but again, there are exceptions.
Exceptions that contain egg?
That's the most common, but there are weird pasta types out there made with beans or cauliflower or such...
The majority of those are vegan by design, but I've seen a few that were just gluten-free, and still used egg as a binder.
Ah okay so it’s probably best to just say not all noodles and bread are vegan.
Not vegetarian? How?
In the southern United States, we have biscuits made with bacon grease and sausage rolls, which are just rolls with ground sausage baked into them.
