Day 14:
What up kittens!? How is everyone doing? I can’t believe I have done this for 2 whole weeks!!!!! I haven’t posted anything in tumblr or twitter (twitter.com/veganexperiment) in a few days because I had a slightly busy weekend. I’m a photography major at UCLA and I spent the weekend working at an event so I was only home to sleep and shower. Now that I’m all rested up, I thought I’d discuss my vegan journey so far :)
Everything is going pretty well, I haven’t run into any major hiccups. At my work event this weekend I actually was worried I wouldn’t find anything substantial to eat, but since it was an outdoor barbeque type event, there actually happened to be a lot of vegetable platter type things. I’m sure more of the food there was vegan but being new at this I was too worried to experiment!
Also, I got offered some jelly beans, which I usually love. But I was hesitant to eat them because I assumed that most contain gelatin which is not vegan/vegetarian? I decided to do a little research:
“there are no animal or animal-derived products (including gelatin) in Jelly Belly jellybeans, but vegans may want to avoid them because they are coated in a mixture that contains beeswax, to give the beans their glossiness”
So usually if gelatin is not on the label of your various candy items, then it is vegetarian. But if you do not eat honey or beeswax, then I would stay away from these!
Back to work! Have a nice day, Aidan :)
