Guest guest Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 I bought naan from the store a couple weeks ago and didn't even bother to check the ingredients til I got home, and yes there was yogurt in it. However that's nothing compared to what you may get in your cookies and desserts from Chinatown. DEAD PIG. That's right, I had a cookie with pork in it. And apparently in Chinatown they use pork fat instead of butter, or something like that. It seems I don't usually have a problem with surprise dairy ingredients but I *often* find meat, often enough that I have decided that from now on I will only go to vegetarian restaurants, which thank goodness there are lots of in Toronto. As for Chinese, I will only accept food from Buddhists. > I have seen what you are talking about .. in some store bought Naan's ... > most of them don't have the milk or yoghurt ... but some do ... > > Now, here's the scary part ...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Something everyone may or may not be aware of. Products that are marked " vegetarian " are not necessarily good for you. Now keep in mind I'm one of those quirky individuals that is a Vegan for the sake of my health. Granted I couldn't consume any animal for any reason..but long ago I started researching nutrition and came to the conclusion that dead decaying flesh wasn't what I wanted in my body. I say that to say this...go further than seeing if the product contains meat or liquids from cooked animal flesh..look for things like cotton seed oil..(not approved by the FDA because cotton is not an " edible " plant and therefore can contain toxic pesticides) and nitrite/nitrate (highly carcenogenic preservatives). So in the quest of your good health my friends...read the label carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
