Vegan News Snippet - Almonds Out Oats In


Welcome to Vegan News Snippet, I am your host, and my name is Gary.

My new issue of VegNews, Winter 2024, is named News/Now, Almonds Out, Oats In. Ben and Jerry's Spring plans to change all their almond base ice cream to oat base ice cream. Their reason is to reduce the allergen profile.  

I am basing my argument on one pound of almonds to one pound of steel cut oat in bulk approximately $1.80 a pound, while almonds are approximately $9 per pound. The loss of almonds would be fiber, protein, monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, manganese, and magnesium.

Oat has more manganese, vitamin B1, vitamin B5, and iron. Almonds have eight times more vitamin B2 than Oat. But these are not the total reasons for the change. Many parts of the world have a water shortage, and almond trees use more water than farming locally grown Oats. Locally grown oats can reduce transportation costs. 

So, it might look like Ben and Jerry's are trying to save money from using almonds rather than oats and save their clients from potential food allergens. 

But it is possible that they are also saving the planet by using oats rather than almonds and protecting water conservation around the globe.

Thank you for listening. We will see you soon at our next Vegan News Snippet.

Episode 2 Who Am I and Why Am I Vegan

Episode 2:  Who am I? And why am I vegan? And plant-based?  I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. Here's my story. I was in the Air Force for four years, creating maps for air operations. While in college, I was a museum carpenter. In San Diego, I was a Mercy Hospital maintenance worker. After my degree in information science, I was a systems analyst. I've always been a handyman. I just love to fix and assemble things. I saw an advertisement as a truck driver and I pulled 48 and 53 trailers. The last job I had was as a package distributor at Amazon.com. At Amazon, working those 10 to 12-hour shifts. I needed more energy. Just eating the standard American food lunches was not working. My sister-in-law mentioned juicing. Vegetable juicing. I found on Prime a movie that showed my vegan journey. The movie is called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I purchased a Breville juicer. Later, I purchased two books from Joe Juice Diet and another one from 101 Juicing Recipes. After
