Chocolate
Companies Cater to Vegan Valentines
|
| |
| When
Lauren Farnsworth went vegan, she thought it would mean
giving up a popular dessert. |
| |
| "I
went vegan thinking I wouldn't be able to eat chocolate,"
said Farnsworth, a vegan for almost six years. |
| |
| But
Farnsworth, an office manager at Sun Flour Baking Company
in Sacramento, Calif., soon learned that following a vegan
diet -- which involves not eating animal products including,
milk, eggs and honey -- allowed plenty of room for chocolate. |
| |
| Finding
chocolate, cookies, cakes and other treats made without
eggs or dairy is getting easier with the proliferation
of companies catering to vegans. Which means buying a
Valentine's Day treat for your favorite vegan won't be
impossible. Even if you don't live near a store that carries
vegan products, many companies offer mail-order sales
through their Web sites. |

| Sun
Flour Baking Company, which opened in 1998, specializes
in cookies, bars and doughnuts - they even offer Valentine's
Day gift baskets. The company sells to health food stores
and coffee shops and is a supplier for Continental Airlines. |
