Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 I once found Whey in my orange juice - for added calcium they said. Unfortuanately I found this after I had bought, and drunk the single-serve bottle. It is a good idea, I suppose, to add this for children and teenagers in particular, but still!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Now you have me scared. I just ran downstairs to read the ingredients for my Tropicana Orange Juice plus calcium. I always thought the calcium came from some source called fruit cal. And there's also calicum that's derived from the earth. But what about calcium hydroxide? ---I feel like such a fool. Is the hydroxide derived from an animal, or from the earth? ---Where's that list of animal ingredients I keep hearing about? I need it for situations like these. *This message was brought to you by: Amy >"Chelle Whitaker" > > > Belated reply en bulk >Sun, 27 Apr 2003 20:26:10 +1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time) > > > > > >I once found Whey in my orange juice - for added calcium they said. >Unfortuanately I found this after I had bought, and drunk the single-serve >bottle.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi! I'm Marit from Estonia. I have been lurking along for about a week. I have been a vegetarian for 3 years and a vegan since the beginning of this year. So far I have loved and learned from most of the posts and hope to learn more and also interact more from now on. to Amylia F - this is the site I found most useful because it has all animal origin e's listed (also potential)http://www.bryngollie.freeserve.co.uk/Enumbers.htm Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 welcome Marit wow, somene from the Baltic, that has to be a first here how hard is it to be veg up in the northern hinterlands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Glad to be "well comed"! Well I guess it is the usual question also here in Estonia - why in the hell would you become one? Are you sure you will be healthy eating just the things you eat? Shouldn't you consult a doctor and get your blood tested, you have to have something missing from your organism. Humans are meateaters and you can't change that! Don't you even want to try that delicious piece of steak? But most people around me have accepted it as who I am and understand that there is no point nagging about it as they can't change anything. My mom is also vegetarian and cuts back on dairy. My grandparents always make different foods for us when we go to visit, so that is really good. And although we don't have as much vegan food in stores as in UK or US (which I sometimes hope we had) it is a great thing we have as much. Soy yogurt, drinks, pudding, mayonnaise, tofu, ice-cream, meat-substitudes, milk etc. So it's not that hard when you have your mind on it. And I believe things are going for the better in terms of awareness as well as products. Marit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
