Q: Soy milk, most brands here contain casein. Soy cheese, nearly all brands here contain casein, those that dont, contain MSG. Genetically modified foods EVERYWHERE here, theres no half and half sections where theres non modified or modified, just modified only, and i cant survive on cucumbers and potatoes alone, i rather die. how can i escape all this? no matter where i go i cant find a place to finally be at peace, doesn't anyone else feel like they are trapped like this? where we are forced to eat foods that we believe is bad, and anything else is too expensive to buy or might be removed since the government might declare it as "bad for you" such as blueberries and supplements, what can i do, or if you are experiencing something like this, what can us vegans do?!?! :( your hotdogs and cow milk CAN shorten your life and cause health problems, milk has lead to many diseases, your hotdogs and every single proccessed meat contains sodium nitrate, look at the ingredients, im sure you will find it, its a really bad chemical, meat taste good, but i beleive being vegan is funner and taste better if dont properly, iv never had so much fun cooking and learning about how much healthier you can be eating as a vegan, meat also increases your weight and usually come from diseased or sick animals my last comment was to tawny g

A: Well well well These answers are mad! Basically, I would suggest that you need to buy a shopping guide, 'the animal free shopper'[buy from vegan society {or amazon is cheaper}] is a good start, out of date by 2 years now but it's a good guide for ingredients and their crazy inedible animal parts origins. I hope you soon find shopping easier, the processed food manufacturers are corrupt as hell and obviously only motivated by profit, so they chuck all manner of crap into their products. The only way to eat really is fresh and local, avoid the processed junk, don't let them slip you a bit of sheep in the soya milk, or cow in the everything else.
