Obviously we don’t eat products which are the result of non-human animal exploitation, but are you willing to:

  • Buy “vegan” products made using the same manufacturing equipment? (Conveyer belts for example, resulting in near certain contamination).
  • Buy vegan products made by the same company which produces non-vegan products? (Buying fries from McDonalds, resulting in more capital for McD’s exploitation).
  • Buy vegan products from non-vegan grocery stores? (Pretty hard to avoid for most people, especially those on low income).

Curious to know where everyone stands on this.

    I guess it depends on location, but in Australia, the ingredients are:

    • Potatoes
    • Canola Oil (Acidity Regulator (330)),
    • Dextrose Monohydrate (Preservative (220)),
    • Mineral Salt (450),
    • Antifoam (Non-ionic polyalkylene glycol),

    OR

    • Potatoes,
    • Vegetable Oil (Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed),
    • Mineral Salt (450),
    • Dextrose (from Mazie).

    It also states:

    FRIES are cooked in McDonald’s Vegetable Oil blend and may be cooked using the same equipment as products containing Gluten, Wheat, Milk, Soy.
