Last weekend at the grocery store, I was so excited to run into my favorite uncle. His name is Uncle Ben, and let me tell you—the man knows his way around a kitchen. We have dinner together a lot because Uncle Ben’s Rice Pilaf, Oriental Fried Rice, and Mexican Fiesta Rice are totally vegan and totally yummy! I don’t know about you, but I get so psyched when I find new munchies that are accidentally vegan. For instance, considering that gelatin is made from animal bones and other body parts, I thought I’d eaten my last fruit cup, but imagine my delight when I came across Dole’s non-gelatin, oh-so-good variety.

How about you? Have you run across any animal-friendly treats that you'd like to share with your vegetarian peeps?

I want to hear from you! E-mail me at GrrrMag@peta.org and tell me about your favorite vegan snacks. Ever wonder which vegetarian eats your favorite celebs like to chow down on? Then dig into this issue for the 411 on Brad Pitt, Maroon 5, Good Charlotte, and more ...
