Guest guest Posted July 4, 2000 Report Share Posted July 4, 2000 Hi Cynthia: Here is a website about hidden animal ingredients (www.veg.org/veg/FAQ/animal_derived.html) I just found it on the Columbia vegan website. http://www.sbvdesigns.com/veg/ The following bits of wisdom are also from there: 131 and 132 is the personal advice of Peter Nagy, Slovak Republic: 131. Learn to explain clearly to waiters what do you want. Then learn to reject politely what they bring to you. Then learn to cook. Pick some of your friends you will give your old (even vegetarian) cookbooks. Study eastern philosophy, animal rights, agriculture and medicine. You will need it in your future conversation. 132. For the sake of not to feel offended or bored with the same questions and jokes, learn to give surprising answers to the question of why you are vegan: " It was my grandmother's last wish on her death-bed. " " All people are vegan. Some just eat animal products still. " " I want to get into Guinness' Records Book with the lowest cholesterol level. " " My doc advised me to eat this diet in order to live with this bottle of vodka and 60 cigarettes daily, you know. " " I tried to force my dog not to beg at every meal. And I got used to this diet. " This one was submitted by a highschool student who finds herself... 144. having resorted to carrying around a list of why I am vegan and common questions with answers so that if anyone asks me anything involving my diet choice I can just hand it to them then casually ask them when they are done if there are any points that they find unclear. Wishing you happy days...
