Question: What are typical foods that happen to be vegan?
I’m trying to become a vegan but I don’t know what kind of foods I can eat other than blatant vegan products. Are things like bread, peanut butter, pudding, etc vegan? Or are there certain products I should look for?

Wow. You really need to do some research! Go to the library, order a book online, anything to inform yourself of what it truly means to be vegan.
Bread. All breads are different. Many contain whey or milk in them, many do not.
Peanut butter comes from peanuts. You are safe there.
Puddings? Some might contain gelatin- look on the label to find out.
The less processed the product, the better.
Just stick to nature and you’re much better off (fruits, veggies, rice, oats, nuts, beans, etc.)

most stuff that is not vegan has gelatin, glycerine or stear (like magnesium stearate) in it.
some breads, peanut butter are vegan. some aren’t. there is vegan pudding at whole foods.

Vegetarians should eat foods such as vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and eggs. Get enough protein as a vegetarian while consuming a variety of vegetables with healthy advice from a nutritional consultant and clinical herbalist.And, simple enough, vegetarians should eat a lot of vegetables, but that requires a lot of work. It requires a lot of dedication to be a good vegetarian in the society that we live in, or resources where other people can prepare your food, basically. Because a vegetarian diet can really work for some people, not so well for others, but for some it can be very, very good. But the key point here is that the vegetarian eat plants and avoid grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese and all these fast food vegetarian products that are not healthy. So, other foods to eat as a vegetarian… you’ve got nuts and seeds, you’ve got really good quality vegetables, berries and fruits–if that indeed is appropriate for you. But it can be a very good source of protein for vegetarians, as well as eggs, eggs can be very nice too. So yeah, that’s what I would recommend for foods for a vegetarian: vegetables.”
Veggie burgers could also be added to your daily foods.

Katie – the question is regarding veganism – so dairy products, etc., are not appropriate.
Most breads are vegan, peanut butter usually is, and pudding *can* be.
It’s just about learning what ingredients to look for.
Usually it’s a good idea to maybe go shopping with an ingredient list, so you know what to avoid.
I usually refer to this one:

There are quite a few products out there that you already buy that are vegan! The website listed below has a huge list of all kinds of vegan foods for every meal. You’d be surprised as to what you already buy and enjoy regularly that is vegan.
