No ingredients are taken from pesons of
other land or sea species.
- Regarding Sugar: Since refined white sugar is commonly filtered through charred animal bones (referred to as bone char), for recipes that call for granulated sugar, only organic evaporated cane juice is used. Brown sugar and powdered sugar are also made in-house from this non-bone-char sugar.
- Regarding Palm: No products containing palm oil or other palm fruit ingredients are used due to the deforestation and habitat loss that mass-cultivating the palm fruit tree is causing orangutans and other free-living species.
- Regarding Coconut: As soon as stocks of coconut oil are used up, no products containing coconut oil or other coconut ingredients will be used. This is because in the major coconut-producing countries of the world, macaque monkeys are exploited, held captive, enslaved for the purpose of picking coconuts.
- Regarding Gluten-Free: While it is certainly possible to create gluten-free versions of any vegan food, it has become too frequent that non-vegans are thinking vegan represents the, in many cases fad, dietary measure of gluten-free. This is not the case. Veganism is not a diet. It's a social justice movement dedicated to the elimination of speciesism.
Speciesism is discrimination against those of other land and sea species. Speciesism is the use, exploition and execution of other species of land and sea individuals for such as "food", fashion, furnishings, entertainment, sport, labor, research, recreation, holiday and religious rituals, buying and selling, etc. Becoming vegan is one of the ways we can counter the monumental injustices and atrocities committed against those of other speecies of land and sea persons.
Vegan is not about gluten. Thus, due to this confusion among non-vegans, and in order to keep the focus on animal-free, Save Animals Go Vegan Bistro has found it necessary to discontinue gluten-free options. Apologies to ethical vegans who genuinely are not able to consume gluten.
As an additional thought for non-vegans, if you can muster the determination to avoid gluten, you surely have the ability to muster the determination to stop participating in the atrocity of exploiting and executing persons of other land and sea species.
