Snort. Of course they are. (A pepper, by the way, although often confused with a vegetable, is definitely a fruit.) And even though I thought the question quite funny, I clearly had not explained veganism well enough to a certain family member. So, to make up for it, I will now list ALL foods (starting with fruit) that are vegan:
- apples
- oranges
- pears
- bananas
- peaches
- cherries
- strawberries
- blueberries
- raspberries
- potatoes
- squash
- beets
- turnips
- kale
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- peas
- lentils
- kidney beans
- black beans
- navy beans
- chickpeas
- tomatoes
- tomato juice
- tomato sauce
- rice
- barley
- oats
- quinoa
- nuts
- seeds
- bread
- crackers
- pasta
- peanut butter
- jam
- ketchup
- mustard
- relish
- tea
- coffee
- juice
- tofu
- tempeh
- soymilk
- almond milk
- dark chocolate
- chips
- popcorn
- ...
Well, as you can see, this completely incomplete list would get so incredibly long if I actually listed every vegan food that it would take forever to write or read. The point here is that with so many vegan foods the question of "What do you eat?" is pretty ridiculous, and more importantly, everyone already eats vegan food every single day. So tell that to someone the next time they swear they wouldn't ever touch vegan food, snort.
