Please rate, comment, and subscribe! xoxo Visit me on my channel: youtube.com Visit my mom’s channel: youtube.com I asked my mom to drive me to different fast food restaurants to find vegan food that you can order when you hang out with your friends. We ordered Frosties at Wendy’s, but those aren’t vegan… we just like them a lot. The list of food we ate: Burger King French Fries, McDonald’s Apple Pie, Wendy’s Plain Baked Potato, Taco Bell 7 Layer Burrito (no cheese, no sour cream), and a Cold Stone Creamery Citrus Fruit Smoothie
@MrPsychoSquid No offense taken…
1. We’re not vegans. Winona is a vegetarian (we raise our own chickens for eggs and eat raw cheeses), but makes vegan recipes because they can be enjoyed by all kids.
2. In the video my son says (this is the most fast food I’ve had in my life.” The kids rarely eat fast food.
3. Winona’s videos are for all kids – even kids who may eat the Standard American Diet. And in this video, she’s simply giving them alternatives when they may be at a fast food place.
i’m not trying to be rude to you, but if you’re vegan way would you support the horrible fast food industry by buying stuff from fast food resturants? it’s nice to see people being careful to avoid animal products when eating out, but how could you give that “food” to your kids? i’ve been vegan for about for years and i would never give money to a fast food place, even if it was to buy a cup of water and a bowl of lettuce, i wouln’t even buy anything there for my friends who already eat at there
@TheSbVegan ew Nate gross!
eww, no fast food at all! I used to eat taco bell everyday till i found a bone in my food!
wow – so glad i found your channel. i became vegetarian 2 months ago. good to know mcdonalds has beef flavored fries (yuck), but good thing i dont eat there anyways.
p.s. cute kids! and lol at your son hugging the giant ice cream.
So thrilled we got to meet you today. See you on facebook.
You might already know this, but most fast food restaurants don’t pay the extra money to use a more healthy type of oil for their french fries. I am a vegetarian and usually eat fries about once a month from my oven, and use practically no oil. But great video!
@Dangerwinn Yeah, that’s the problem with eating out anywhere that serves meat too. For vegans it’s really hard. We don’t eat out that much so I don’t mind.
@VeggieWinona cool..oh yeah, be careful with the french fries because they use the same oil to fry chicken and fish so their might be animal fat in the oil.
@Dangerwinn woah, thanks!! my step-dad gets in & out burger when he goes to los angeles for work. (but he eats burgers)
Taco Bell- 7 layer..no sour cream, no cheese with onions…tostada with tomato and onions…bean and potato burrito.
In n Out burger- hamburger with no meat, no cheese, and no special sauce..with ketchup and mustard then stuff the fries in the burger.
Del Taco- Veggie Works with no cheese, no sour cream, with added tomato and onions.
Cute video, Winona! Great job researching. Too bad the places do not have more options for you other than fries.
Start a revolution! “We forgot the frosties!!” lol
Cool!!!
@Thoughtfulguy68 There’s a thin line we walk everyday between living a healthy and compassionate life and adapting to our surroundings. We’re not fast food fans, not because of taste, but because of the companies’ policies toward their farmers AND livestock (we love farmers). I can’t remember the last time I had a Frosty, but oh my gosh, it tasted good! We raise our own chickens, because we don’t want to participate in cruelty. This was just a guide for kids in “transition”. Baby steps
@genghisgirl Yeah, Don’t think I would trust the source-But good to know.
But,Might be right….I first read about the ‘duck feathers’ in a very old Vegetarian cooking magazine.They said they called QA and this was the answer they got…But,That was in the early 90′s.
Either way-Who knows!
Great video =]
I am enjoying reading all the comments posted here, this was a great video. My feelings are that even if a fast food item may technically be considered Vegan, keep in mind it is prepared in a meat shop, and I doubt that employees are careful about making sure Vegan items do not come into contact with meat products, or surfaces that non-vegan products have been prepared on.
@417VEGAN Let me stress that this was the answer I GOT… it’s up to you to believe or not believe the source. We don’t eat fast food with any kind of regularity, so we don’t stress about every ingredient.
Fast food restaurants definitely need to amp up they’re vegan menus. Soy is the word!
@417VEGAN McDonald’s has recently started using non-animal derived L- cysteine in their apple pie, but not their cherry pie which is not a nationally distributed item (and not available at our McDonald’s). The natural flavors are also listed as being from a (plant source). There are older reports online that state that the L- cysteine is from a non-human animal source (most likely duck feathers), but this was the answer I got when I called corporate.
The pies at McDonald’s are NOT vegan.
@hellostrangermay25 Here is the ingredients list from the actual McDonald’s website: French Fries: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent.
Wait WHAT??? Mcdonalds really has beef flavoring in their fries? I thought they switched to like better quality potatos now….. At least thats what the commercial says…..
This was cute xD
cool! and i love mcdonalds apple pie
@MrPsychoSquid Fast food restaurants are no different than most grocery stores, neighborhood restaurants, and local farmers markets… because they also sell meat and animal products. We don’t have an agenda to stop people from eating animal products… only to give kids healthy alternatives and show them how they can become conscious eaters.
