Books and Vegan Sweets



The Delivery: Vegan chocolate chip cookies and chocolate fudge brownies from Zac and Ani's Bread, Turn Here Sweet Corn by Atina Diffley, and Drop the Fat Act and Live Lean by Ryan A. Andrews
Staff Pick: The chocolate chip cookie

The DL: The interesting thing about this seemingly simple sweet is that it also contains omega-3s and protein, which basically means you can eat this cookie all day, every day. Looks can be deceiving, folks! If you're looking for more health-conscious dishes in the new year, check out our January+February issue! Raw Pad Thai, Roasted Tomato Soup, and yes, maybe a little bit of chocolate for dessert await. (Everything in moderation, right?) Buy your issue at the VegNews Store today!

Actually, no. I really hope this statement is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. It's still a cookie, and should be eaten in moderation.

There are a lot of people out there who don't understand nutrition and read statements like this and think they can have as many cookies as they want because they are vegan and contain things like protein and omega-3s. Please don't reinforce this very common misconception.
