okay but if listening to the greatest showman soundtrack doesn’t make you want to cry, sing your lungs out, marry zac efron, join the circus, learn all the dance routines from the movie, and see the movie at least 15 more times then are you ok

Do not trick people into trying vegan versions of food

Why?

Let’s say you make some vegan chocolate chip cookies. (I looked a recipe up for the sake of this post). These cookies are made with almond milk.

You have a friend that you’ve known for a few months now, and you think it would be nice to surprise them.

So, you offer them one of the cookies. You don’t tell them they’re vegan. As far as your friend is aware, they’re made with cow milk and chicken eggs.

Your friend takes one bite, and a few minutes later you’re using their epi-pen on them and calling 911.

See, what just happened is that your hypothetical friend here has a nut allergy that you didn’t know about, and the almond milk in the cookies was enough to put them in the hospital.

You could have avoided this whole situation by informing your friend that they’re vegan, thus prompting the question “It’s not made with almond milk, is it?”

This doesn’t just apply to cookies. While I’ve never found one, if you happen to know of a vegan fake meat that’s not made with soy and looks and smells exactly like the meat version, don’t serve it to someone and not tell them until after they eat it.

“But I, a vegan, would never do that!”

Great, then this post isn’t about you. This post is about the people who post shit like “when you give your friend vegan food without telling them and they like it *insert gif here*”, and it’s also about the thousands of people who reblog it.

Soy and wheat are used in a lot of meat replacements, and are also 2 of the top 8 food allergens.

And, as mentioned before, peanuts and tree nuts are two more–so, half of the most common food allergens are the things used as vegan substitutes. (Which is also why a lot of people can’t be vegan.)

THANK YOU!!! I’m allergic to both peanuts and tree nuts and this is so important. I won’t eat anything someone offers me unless they can give me a list of everything that’s in it.

On the plus side, there’s a lot of people’s crappy baking I’ll never have to taste.  I use my allergies as an excuse to avoid most things.

Also if i “tricked” you into eating animal product and you found out you’d lose your fucking mind on me and be pissed, because it’s a scumbag move.
