Steve eats fish but he told me that he has avoided meat, dairy and eggs for the past 20+ years. Everybody has their own reasons for choosing the diets they do, and someone who eats fish definitely isn't vegan, but it certainly takes a man of integrity to avoid certain food items for that many years. He's also super committed to not using any refined sugars in any of their ice cream, in addition to using all natural ingredients throughout the products, including for the coloring (for instance, spinach to make the pistachio ice cream green). He was very passionate and earnest and I do believe that they're putting out a quality product. Plus, it's really effing tasty. Especially the pomegranate chocoloate chip... He also mentioned that they'll be rolling out a hemp-milk based ice cream soon!

You can't trust people like that. Would you still eat there if he was a hunter? He might take some shortcuts when times get tough, something a vegan couldn't bring themselves to do. No Thanx! ~inga~ Nope, I would not eat there because he is using your money to buy more meat.

And they're raw vegan. Also vegan does not mean it's healthy. I know vegans who don't eat meat but eat crappy foods (like ice cream) but the vegans I aspire to be like are the ones (the few I know) who eat no sweets and actually just eat real fruits and vegetables nuts and seeds. NOTHING more ;) In their minds that's the only real vegan.

Are you sure? I do know that Kate's Joint in NYC is owned by a meat eater.... As for going to that vegan ice cream parlor...I probably wouldn't knowing that the owner didn't really have the commitment to veganism that I have and that he wouldn't think that using a bit of honey here and there or mixing in a little dairy wouldn't really hurt anybody. Just like Jews have kosher certification and have rabbis check on an establishment, we vegans need to have some similar mechanism in place.....I have an orthodox Jewish friend who won't eat at vegan restaurants that don't have kosher certification because she said, "you just can't be sure" without it. I agree. Angelica Kitchen is owned by meat eaters? Are you sure?

I want to put money into the pockets of people who spend their money the way I do whenever possible. That being said, if it's the only option I would go there if for no other reason than to help create a market for vegan products.
