[QUOTE="SteveHants, post: 7219581, member: 3380"] You do know it's supposed to be a vegan alternative to products like "Ensure" that are to be given to undernourished patients in hospitals etc, don't you? If you look at the ingredients for other weight gain drinks (non vegan) they are largely sugar, fat and vitamins, because they are designed to get as many calories as possible into someone who is having difficulty eating solid food or is undernourished. I'm sure if you looked on a Mars Bar (other calorific snacks are available), you would find plenty of alarming ingredients there, too. It's definitely not supposed to be for normal, healthy people, nor is it supposed to be a "healthy choice", except where someone is undernourished I don't see why vegan patients shouldn't have alternatives like this, to be honest and I think the hysteria I've seen elsewhere on social media about this doesn't paint people in a very good light because they have simply jumped on a bandwagon and started screaming about it because it's "vegan" without taking the (very brief amount) of time to understand what the product is actually for.
