Since being vegan is more of a political thing than anything else, it seems counterproductive to support a product that probably boosts milk sales more than almost anything else.

Edit: I’m not vegan. The comment seems to imply I am, so I’m just clarifying.

Technically yes but, they admitted cross contact ingredients with dairy products and they filter sugar using bone char. According to oreo these two things alone make oreo technically not suitable for vegans. Oreo said this, I didn’t make it up. Google it.

Just for the sake of actually clarifying, I say political because it influences which companies you’ll support and how you want legal policies to be developed. You can simply be vegetarian for moral reasons but if you’re going to promote it up to civic action that’s where veganism comes in.

I also say it’s semantics because which political issues are not also moral issues?

Edit: To the person that responded then blocked, stop being a coward. What’s the point of responding then blocking unless you think you don’t actually have a point?

Read my other response to you. And I’m not sure what the point of the second half of your comment is other than to demonstrate you think there are actually good politicians.

I can’t speak for all vegans, but when I ate a vegan diet, I didn’t care about foods that were potentially in contact with animal products. The point of the lifestyle choice (for me) is to decrease the demand for meat. I might be eating a fraction of a portion of beef when I eat an impossible whopper, but no beef is being bought or sold. So yes, there are plenty of vegans out there who can eat Oreos without a guilty conscience.

As a brit, they are also a shite. Bourbons n custard creams are far superior.

Mmm yum, hydrogenated fats !

Factbox:

Oreo cookies used to be made with lard. And now they're kosher. Oreo cookies were made with lard until the mid-1990s, when Nabisco swapped the animal fat with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil

Yeah there is 100% dairy cross-contamination from their factory. Oreos are shit.

There's a little known secret about Oreos.

If you break them in half and shake them all the calories fall out!!

Yeah cross contamination is not something I really worry about as a vegan. Not something that’s going to “make or break” a particular food item for me.

I’m not allergic to animal products (where I’ll be sick simply from touching them), I just choose not to consume them.

I had a vegan friend stay with me for a week and that dude ate an entire box of Oreos one night. I asked him what that was all about and he immediately replied that he's not doing it for his health; He's doing it for the animals.
