Vegan Living: Five Accidentally Vegan 7-Eleven Treats

Posted: 08/03/10 05:20 PM ET

Accidentally vegan foods -- processed foods that unintentionally contain no animal products -- are everywhere if you take the time to read ingredients labels. 7-Eleven, better known for un-vegan eats like shriveled hot dogs rotating under a heat lamp, has expanded their 7-Select brand to include a number of accidentally vegan treats. With nothing over $1.79, it's a great time for a vegan snack attack. Check out 7-Eleven's top five vegan snacks.

Unlike the Girl Scouts’ thin mints, 7-Select’s fudge mint cookies are square-shaped, vegan and sold year round. But there’s no difference when it comes to the taste. Pop these cookies in the freezer and eat with the satisfaction that you can buy more any time.

Let's go easy folks, this sounds like a "first crack at writing some kind of article thing"...

Curiously the 7/11 buy my work in Downtown Los Angeles is carrying recognizable organic products. It's a step in some direction, hopefully the right one. Now get rid of those terrible "things" that turn on metal wheels that people buy for 50 cents and call food. :)

Katie, there's vegan and then there's factory food. Let's not get carried away.

All of these things contain sugar. Sugar is NOT vegan. They use bone char to whiten it.

If they knock you down, bite 'em on the ankle.

Cane sugar can be whitened with bone char. Beet sugar does not require this. About half of the cane sugar refineries use bone char with the others using charcoal from a vegetable or mineral source.

vegan or not - still just as unappealing as shriveled hot dogs!

Most vegans I know are also big on eating organic and natural foods, while cutting down on refined sugars. Their reasoning is that vegan is not only kinder to the earth and to animal welfare, but it's also healthier due to not eating any impurities or hormones in meat, as well as lessening the ingestion of hazardous chemicals in the body.

I don't think any of them I know would touch these products. I wouldn't eat them and I'm not vegan. I'm more of an organic and minimal processed foods kind of gal. If the ingredients list is full of fillers, chemicals, and looks like something you'd see in a chemistry lab manual, I'm likely to pass on it.

Well, technically, a floor tile is vegan. Not going to eat that, either.

I don't think any of that is real food.

You have a point. I'm sure they don't have animal products, but I'm not sure they contain anything that wasn't made in a labratory.

Actually, if you walk into a 7-11 and try to find ANYTHING healthy, you have to walk right out. I once worked at a convention for quick stop markets. Here are some highlights:

1) A display of frozen foods that can be "rotated" into the refrigerated section to give them a "fresher" appeal.

2) Every tobacco product and peripheral known to man.

3) Snack food heaven.

I toured the area and concluded that they should be called DeathMarts.

Please. Did 7-11 pay HP to do this? These foods are full of gmos, sugar and geck. Faux vegan -- not food.

I agree. This reads like BAD ad copy.
