Because the best kind of snacks are cruelty-free.
Everyone likes snacks. Some people like healthy snacks like fruits and veggies. Some people like candy and chips. More people tend to like the latter more than the former. If you're going to eat the less healthy snack, you might as well make some choices that'll make you feel, at the very least, less guilty, and, at best, great about your choices.
There are monumentally wrong assumptions about veganism. One stereotype about vegans, in particular, that stands out is that vegans eat salad and tofu and nothing more. This couldn't be further from the truth. It's possible to eat most of the things you eat now, by making small adjustments like switching from dairy milk to almond milk, ice cream to non-dairy ice cream, and from many popular bread brands to other brands that don't contain ingredients like eggs or whey.
That's a conversation for another time. Right now, we're going to focus on snacks. Below are eight vegan snacks that you can enjoy for two reasons, one, because they taste really good, and two, because no animals had to be hurt or disturbed to get them.
1. Sour Patch Kids
Now you don't have to choose between your ethics and your favorite childhood snack.
2. Swedish Fish
They're shaped like fish, but no animals were harmed in the making of this product.
3. Oreos
The people behind Oreos somehow found a way to make a chocolate and creamy treat totally cruelty-free. I am in awe of them.
4. Airheads
You can have an animal-friendly snack in any number of delicious (addictive) flavors.
5. Cracker Jacks
A traditional snack made without the traditional 'we don't care about animals' stuff.
6. Clif Bars
These bars are everything. You get protein, taste, and variety, all while keeping a clean conscience.
7. Lay's Potato Chips (barbeque and classic)
Who doesn't love Lays? Who doesn't love Lays even more now that you know they're cruelty-free?
8. Doritos Spicy Sweet Chilli Chips
It's like all the cheesy goodness of Doritos, without the whole abusing and destroying cows part. Also, these are definitely the best Doritos.
