Shortly after, I began my career as a vegan animal rights activist, telling everyone who was willing to listen about the lives that dairy cows had to face. This felt like the right thing to do in order to align my behavior with my ethics. It wasn’t until I learned the horrors of what farm animals - including dairy cows - endured that I made the decision to become vegan. When I was young, my mom and I would team up to rescue and rehome cats, protest deer hunts, and more. I’ve considered myself an animal lover all of my life.
It was also a handshake and high five with Coconut Bliss showing my appreciation that they had my back and that I had theirs. The $5 or $6 I’d throw down on a pint felt like more than just a purchase or transaction. At the time, there weren’t too many options when it came to dairy-free ice cream.Ĭoconut Bliss was one of the few and its existence gave me the confidence that moving forward, I’d always have an option to satisfy my late-night sweet tooth. In 2009, I stopped eating animal products.
This is after 17 years of exclusively producing vegan products. In an era that has seen an absolute explosion of ice cream made from everything from almonds to oats to avocado, this company has made the bizarre and harmful decision to begin selling ice cream made of milk from cows. I woke up today to find some unsettling news in the world of animal advocacy and #vegan eating: A brand of plant-based, coconut-based ice cream, Coconut Bliss, which I’ve loved and been eating regularly for the last 12 years, has rebranded to “Cosmic Bliss” in order to begin selling ice cream made from… cow’s milk.
