Vegetarians, beware of chocolate!

The worst mistake they're making is letting people know they'll be eating living calf stomach chemicals. I mean, eating meat involves a certain amount of "I don't want to know" suspension of curiosity, but seriously, most people are going to be a little grossed out by that.

Not really.

I've killed, skinned, gutted, prepared, cooked and eaten my own meat before, no biggy.

If you don't want to know the reality of what you are eating, then you shouldn't eat it. People who are bothered by the concept of eating animals, should become vegetarians.

But bacon tastes GOOD. Pork chops taste GOOD.

Never been fishing or hunting then? My brother was a long haired, beardy veggie for about a year and a half...comical if you know him now, head of Human Resources and Sales at a major wild life caller company, hunter, fisherman, beer drinking angus steak-burger guy. Vegetables are used to lure what he eats now

I've always said: Bacon is God's way of saying, "I love you."

Wrong.

Bacon, egg, sausage, beans (british baked beans) potato scone and links, all fried served with a mug of tea that is the way god says "I love you" (with regards to food anyways ) especially the morning after a lot of beer.

Yes, but my point is that people who love bacon but don't want to know that it was carved off the side of a pig are hypocrits. It annoys me when people say "I hate meat when I can see that it was an animal". These people are just in denial.

I've been a vegetarian for 26 years. Husband a meat-eater and hunter. He likes the taste of meat, I can't stand the thought of eating it!Can't say it has ever been a problem.

I don't think it has anything to do with denial, though. My son eats meat and, as part of his vet's training he had to visit a slaughterhouse and witness animals being killed and prepared for the meat industry. He stopped at MacDonalds on the way home!

My daughter has been a vegetarian since she was 5 years old - her choice. Both she and I will prepare meat for my husband and son, just won't eat it ourselves.

As for chocolate containing animal rennet - does anyone know if Galaxy chocolate does?

Galaxy is made by Mars, so I would guess the answer is yes. Better stick to Cadbury's in future.

I agree--no need to get irritated with me. I used to be a vegetarian but stopped being one in Brazil. Now I'm eating only free range/organic/blablabla stuff but I'm hoping to move back to vegetarianism by the end of summer. (Difficult when hubster does all the cooking and is a serious carnivore.) I was saying that the average person has a little bit of a hypocritical streak when it comes to eating meat (and these people seem to be ok with that), and for precisely that reason being confronted with the rennet descriptions are going to turn some people's appetites off. On a personal note (again) I have never eaten any baby animals or products of baby animals, and I know many otherwise carnivores like that, and none of us would be comfortable consuming rennet.

I'm a girl, so that's a NO on the hunting. There aren't enough toilets in the woods, and as a female I have a bladder the size of a walnut.

Fishing...I'm a Texan, so of course I've been fishing. I never dealt with what I caught, though; my grandmother cleaned and gutted the fish. Cooked 'em too. I don't even know how to clean a fish.

I like to eat meat but I don't want to deal with the killing or butchering of what I eat. I am NOT a vegetarian.

HAHAHAHAHA...yeah, that's true. Bacon is so good.
