Maybe I have fallen behind the curve, but isn't "Vegan" food that isn't meat or dairy? If so, doesn't any grocery store have vegetables for sale?

There is much more available these days for vegans than just vegetables. There are vegan foods available that provide protein, etc., for a healthy well-balanced diet. Lots a soy-based choices. And so on.

And vegan actually means foods that are not processed with any animal participation, so that means no honey or mushrooms.

Gone are the days of the pale skinny hippie vegan. ;)

Veganism is not a diet as much as a lifestyle that does not harm or use animals in any way. Different people have a different interpretation of what constitutes "use or harm". It would be pretty boring if my wife and I only ate vegetables!!!! There are lots of alternatives available now.....just trying to find a source. Each to their own.......

HEB stores vary in size and the type of food carried. One of the largest and most upscale stores in the RGV is the HEB on the corner of 10th and Trenton on the north side of McAllen, TX. That is where I would start any search.

There are now Kroger stores in the valley? If so that's good news.

I thought the same thing. Did a location search on Kroger site. Closest one is 267 miles north of McAllen. HEB is the best.

HEBs carry quite a selection. I would check the HEB Superstores. They seem to carry the most in vegan and for those that are gluten intolerant also.
