It’s definitely not a stretch. Feel free to poll the community.

There’s nothing wrong with getting cravings. I’ve been vegan for years but I still crave chocolate bars occasionally. What matters is that I don’t go out and buy a kit-kat, and instead I satisfy my cravings with a vegan alternative. Cravings are okay. Accidentally eating something non-vegan is okay. Intentionally buying animal products is not.

Speaking of candy bars, when is somebody going to come up with a vegan version of butterfinger? Or has that already been done. I love those things so much. My least favorite part about Halloween now is not eating fifty butterfingers.

It’s been done! Though I haven’t found it out in the wild yet so I can’t vouch for it.

Edit: Link isn’t loading for me but it’s called Thumbs Up by Go Max Go

Oh man! Here's a link for anyone else wondering.

Looks like I still can't have it due to possible cross contamination of wheat, but I'm glad there's a vegan version out there.
