the PETA vegan list snaphooooops

[Guest guest]

I went through the PETA vegan list with glee...Don't get me wrong it's

not that I'm ungrateful, but unfortunately not all that glitters is

golden. Please be advised that not ALL the items are currently

accurately plant based or stay that way... Better to read each item and

if necessary research yourself...I did and... nuff said.

 

PS: *Please note Hot Tamales (candy) have a coating made from the

crushed bodies of the cochineal insect---this information I received

from the 'Just Born ' company in writing... I notified PETA, but this

one fell through the cracks and remained on the list...dunno if it

still is there. Sooo yukky in every respect

 

This is in no way an attack on PETA's efforts to supply useful

information...it's just a heartfelt reminder to double check for

yourself because even the most dedicated attempts sometimes fall short--

Afterall, everyone makes mistakes! Well almost everyone

Thank you for that reminder, Cuppa.

You are right, we all need to read the labels each time

we buy a product, even if it always fit our diets in the

past; product ingredients do change more often than

we think. i was reminded of this myself while looking

through a vegan cookbook called 'Simply Heavenly'.

In there they go on about Lee & Perrins Steak Sauce

being vegan and the best tasting, so i went to the market

one day to buy some only to discover it was no longer

vegan or vegetarian.... so read and re-read those labels!
