Is Betty Crocker Cake Mix Vegan?

Many cake mixes in a box are “accidentally” vegan. They don’t contain any dairy, so as long as you use a vegan egg alternative and plant-based milk, you’re good to go. None of Betty Crocker’s cake mixes are certified vegan, or even clearly vegan, but some of the mixes may be vegan. I’ve gone through the ingredients for all the different mix […]

Is Cologne Tested on Animals?

Just like women’s perfume is often tested on animals, so is cologne. Animal testing isn’t required for selling cologne in most countries, it is for some – China is the biggest one.

The Best Vegan Probiotic Powders

Probiotics are one of the most effective ways to try and fix stomach issues. Research has shown that they can improve digestion, mental health, and much more. But since foods like yogurt are off limits for us vegans, there aren’t too many ways to get probiotics in the diet. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and tempeh are options, but don’t […]

I wouldn’t say this is a popular claim, but I’ve seen it in several forums and low-quality blogs and thought I’d address it. The claim is that LCD screens have cholesterol, and therefore vegans shouldn’t buy them. If they do in fact have cholesterol, then vegans should indeed buy alternatives like LEDs instead. However, while researching […]
