I think vegan junk food should exist. It's better when you can choose.

I think it's wonderful that there is vegan junk food. Although I avoid it myself, it will make the transition much easier for those that otherwise would have a hard time living without it.

I think the line from the article: "Sure, the stuff may eventually kill you, but then you're no worse off than with the "real" version." says it all. Hydrogenated fats, which are so common in vegan junk foods, are just as bad for us as eating the saturated fats in animal products. They raise blood cholesterol levels and contribute to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a cancer of white blood cells. You can read about this on the PCRM site, www.pcrm.org. Just search for "hydrogenated".
But you shouldn't eat them every day. This food is more necessary for transition period. Personally I more like fresh fruits and vegetables :) May be it's because we here in Moldova don't have any vegan junk food...

I love my vegan junk food! Let's face it, we all love junk food. We have to have something to look forward to in life. We are only here once - might as well enjoy the ride and be cruelty free at the same time. What a wonderful combination!

But what about the health reason? If you'll eat a lot of junk food your health will be worse. If your health will be worse, other will think it's because you're vegan, not because you're eating junk food.
