I was wondering, if you drink coffee, what do you replace the sugar with? I have stopped drinking coffee altogether, but now I'm starting to miss it again. :/

arguments-annoying, avoiding animal products where possible, why???, animal testing, food-sugar&sweeteners, opinion-trolls

Unrefined sugar is what my partner uses... is it harder to find outside the UK? Half the stuff in our local supermarket is unrefined :)

well like, my nan was diabetic and she used artificial sweetener for everything because she couldn't use real stuff
perhaps that was what she meant

I almost always drink my coffee black, but occasionally I'll use Sugar in the Raw. Mostly, though, I drink soy lattes, so I suppose I could also answer this with "just soymilk."

Err, that should obviously say that I almost always drink brewed coffee black.

I just use vegan sugar. *shrug*

I tend to use turbinado. But sometimes I'll use maple syrup, or agave nectar.

I bought a bunch of sugar in the raw packets and took them to work.

I live in Australia so all of our locally produced refined sugar is not produced with bone char!

Having said that, I stay away from refined sugar and only use organic, raw sugar, plus a little organic, calcium fortified soy milk.

Oh, and I of course add Splenda because it tastes so good that I just can't avoid it. You know? Some days I even break a few eggs in there, too. It's still vegan for me to do it because you use a computer.

(Sorry. Just stirring, obviously.)

oh thats so good to hear. I am reading this post thinking - sugar is not vegan?

I'm in Australia too and i have never ever heard anything that suggests that sugar isn't vegan.

This honestly such an interesting thread!!!

I'm going to do some research...

Nice.

This is why I like you (that and dinosaur cupcakes...oh man, why did I have to remember their deliciousness? Now I'll be thinking about them all day and not doing work. Thanks, bitspike. Thanks a lot.)
