Re: The Fate of Newspapers
They use "suitable for vegetarian" labels in UK, though not here. I remember getting an apricot flavour and a strawberry flavoured yoghurt last time I was there. The apricot flavour was labeled 'suitable for vegetarians' but the strawberry flavoured yoghurt was not. Makes you wonder (I suspect they dropped a cow in a blender by accident).

Re: The Fate of Newspapers
I've never heard of these labels but the fact they exist in the UK doesn't surprise me. Last time I was over there I found there were a lot more vegetarian alternatives than back home.

Sometimes yogurt is made with gelatin, but not always. That would be my best guess for the difference. Otherwise I have no idea.Sahan wrote:They use "suitable for vegetarian" labels in UK, though not here. I remember getting an apricot flavour and a strawberry flavoured yoghurt last time I was there.

Re: The Fate of Newspapers
Gelatin in yogurt? Really? News to me.
I'm not positive, but I don't think we have any kind of government oversight like that in the US. If we did, it would fall under the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration, but I'd bet you could put a "vegetarian" sticker on a pork chop and get away with it.
EDIT: I take that back. You could get away with it until somebody sued you.

Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

Re: The Fate of Newspapers
Not most yogurts, but some do.
I've actually got a long list of things I didn't realise I'd be giving up when I became a vegetarian. Oh lard and gelatin, it's amazing where I find you sometimes.

Re: The Fate of Newspapers
I only eat meat because I feel like I'm conquering that species when I eat it.
So far I have conquered:
Pigs
Cows
Sheep (also baby sheep)
Crabs
All manner of fish
Chicken
Turkey
Duck
Dog
And the most dangerous game of all.

I only eat meat because it's delicious.

Re: The Fate of Newspapers
I haven't had dog before, it's something that's really hard to find in North America, whereas everything else on that list is pretty commonplace. Everything else on that list I've had. Lamb and duck are my two favourite foods, but I mostly eat pork. I also want to try something like bison or caribou, since, hey, they live here. I'm against animal cruelty but I like food too much to give meat up. Don't think of me as a hero.Cirtur wrote:I only eat meat because I feel like I'm conquering that species when I eat it.

Like, yesterday I was going through my suitcase and there was one. Just at the bottom, wiggling his little legs and crying. Never stopping crying.Oldrac the Chitinous wrote:And anchovies!

And bacon bits! Here you are thinking you've finally found something nice and vegetarian like a ceaser salad or perogies, and then you turn around and they're covered in bacon bits.Oldrac the Chitinous wrote:And anchovies!

There used to be a restaurant in my hometown that had a buffet, and they'd serve perogies every Wednesday, and every second batch would have bacon bits. It used to drive me crazy because you couldn't tell whether they were there or not until after you took them. About a year ago it turned out they were cheating on their taxes and they got shut down, I miss them not at all.

Why did you go there if there was bacon everywhere?

I can't think of any reason to do that. Other than spite.smiley_cow wrote:There used to be a restaurant in my hometown that had a buffet, and they'd serve perogies every Wednesday, and every second batch would have bacon bits.

Incidentally, Caesar salad is also one of the unexpected places you find anchovies.

Re: The Fate of Newspapers
So humans clawed their way up of the food chain to feel all bad about eating some bacon bits in a caesar salad from times to times?
People with such sensibilities will constantly amaze me i guess.

Would you believe that someone at my work complains when I talk about animal abuse?
