Discussion: Vegan Junk Food

So what is one of the most well-known, commonly eaten, simplest to make food types that can be included in all diets?

Chips. (or French Fries)

Go on, try and deny it. Unless animal oil is somehow used, there is nothing that stops chips getting eaten in a vegan diet. But even then, people can still point out that a vegan diet is generally healthier than one including meat, since it still avoids all those chemicals and preservatives found in junk-food meat.

Hmm, but the vegan junk food list isn't limited to just chips. Sweet potato chips, prawn crackers, pancakes with syrup, non-meat and cheese subs from Subway... well, whether Subway sells junk food is still hotly debated, but it's certainly fast food, so I'm counting it.

  1. Prawn crackers are made from prawns and starch. Not sure that can count as vegan food.

    1. Also, subway is definitely junk food. The bread and sauces are very calorific.

  2. Have you ever tried vegan chocolate chip cookies (or rather biscuits, since you're in Europe)?

    My local coffee house sells them. They're absolutely delicious!

  3. If they contain chocolate chips and/or nuts, then we call them cookies :)

    I'm pretty certain I have had them, at least once, just can't remember where...
