But holy crap.... I just looked at their website and look what it says:
http://www.morningstarfarms.com/prod...ily=366&id=324
Egg whites and skim milk! Why?! Why?!?!? I'm glad you brought this up. My store must still have the old ones in stock. I'm going back out to get the rest that they have in case these hit our shelves soon. I'm also writing a very very angry letter to MSF/Kellogg.

I was doing my own thing quietly and YOU are the one who created this post trying to make a big deal out of it. Keep flaming the fire. That must be what you want.

What befuddles me is that it's not just vegans that are affected by this either. Dairy-free vegetarians and omnis (of which there are many due to allergies and intolerances) will stop buying these products as well. In an age where many companies are removing dairy from their products, these jokers are adding it back in?

Not really. Lactose intolerant people will still be able to buy the product and exactly how many people are allergic to egg whites?
The vast majority of people who buy these products are not vegetarians or those with allergies but by omnivores who are reducing their meat intake for heatlh reasons. The company will not lose its core demographic by this change, frustrating as that is.

This is my favorite soy product...

I hate having to find a new vegan replacement.

Don't give them any ideas. Actually the kellogs take-over happened before they released this statement, "according to company spokeswoman Kathleen Eckler, in 2008 “Kellogg is reducing the amount of eggs we use in our Morningstar products by a minimum of one million eggs. We’re committed to announcing even more new vegan products for our customers.”
I included that in my email to them yesterday.
Huh?
My comment was that dairy-free vegetarians and omnis will no longer be able to eat this product. They have added skim milk to it. Omnis with allergies and intolerances to dairy products do not consume skim milk.
I never mentioned eggs.

Thanks for the info Beachbnny. I use part of what you said in an email I just sent to Morningstar:
Also, tonight I posted this info on Veganrepresent forum. On there, someone claimed that the name brand Health Is Wealth un-veganized their chicken and vegans bugged them until the went back to being vegan. So, there is some hope.
I'm glad you wrote them

Why would a company de-veganize something? It just seems so odd. I guess I understand that desire to find a cheap binder and egg and milk fit that bill but really how many pennies per bag are they saving when at least 25% of their customer base stops buying them? It's just so stupid. I wish I could have sat in on that meeting.

Where did you get the 25% number from?

Just buy some tvp granules.
Add two cups of the dry granules to a small saucepan on low heat. Add 3 big tbsps of ketchup, 1 tbsp of soy sauce and a good tbsp dollop of Marmite or Vegemite. Then added 1 1/2 cups of water and stir (you can add a tsp of gravy browner if desired). bring to a simmer and in less than 5 minutes you have 1lb of fake ground beef to use just as you would the morningstar stuff you buy at 5x the price.

You could ues this as an opportunity to save yourself a pile of money by making your own faux ground beef using TVP. Its incredibly quick easy and cheap.

This...
I've stopped trying to look at Morningstar's products for vegan-ness. It seems everything they have contains dairy and/or eggs. Boca makes a much better effort.


I really don't buy the meat substitutes more than once or twice a year because I just don't like the taste, but a dear friend made a vegan nacho casserole with the Boca crumbles and it was really good. Very nice of her and very yummy.
So if I do buy any, its not gonna be the Morningstar Farms. They will be losing a lot of customers over this change I think.
Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
Just my personal, conservative estimate.

See what I did there? lol
