Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I have found some lovely and inexpensive vegan soap! At my local " 99 Cents Only " store, they have Halsa soap. It's French-milled, vegan, and 3 bars are only 99 cents. They have three fragrances: Rose, Lavender, and Aloe Vera. The Aloe Vera type actually has Aloe gel in it, and the smell is a fresh, green leafy smell. (I always read the label on soaps and shower gel. Most grocery store soaps are made from cow fat, also called tallow. If you see the word " tallow " or " tallowate " on the label, then the soap or body wash is made from cows. ) I bought a box of the Rose soap about six months ago, and today I bought a new box of the Aloe. I use these as hand soap, and they smell so nice, have a silky lather, and don't dry out my hands. I just wanted to share with y'all - priscilla Mail is new and improved - Check it out!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Thanks for the tip on tallow. I don't eat cheese or yogurt (since the past 3 months) because of rennet, enzymes, and gelatin. Why do they disguise animal products with scientific names so no ne truly knows they're eating bones or stomach lining of various animals, possibly horses!?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Most cheese in the US is made of cultured rennet, not from animal stomachs. Not all yogurt has gelatin- I eat Brown Cow yogurt, which has none. Gelatin is added to the big name yogurts to make them thicker. I'm not sure why you object to the " enzymes " in yogurt- we eat bacteria every day, they are all over our bodies, in our mouths and on all the food we eat. If you object to enzymes, then you should probably stop eating bread, too- yeast are alive. --- Rebecca <squinkabink wrote: > Thanks for the tip on tallow.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I was meaning to say yogurt having enzymes is good, but boiled animal buts, gross, sorry about that. But GEEZE. I pay you a compliment and you mess with me. I know not all yogurt has gelatin, but I don't like the texture anymore anyway. reptile grrl [reptilegoddess] Wednesday, August 18, 2004 12:04 PM RE: Vegan soap Most cheese in the US is made of cultured rennet, not from animal stomachs.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I did not " mess with " you, and I'm not sure what you even mean by that. Shocking as this may seem, it's *not* all about you. I would really appreciate it if you would behave maturely when you are interacting on the list. I'm under the impression that you are pretty young, but I still don't think that excuses your temper tantrums and insults. --- Rebecca <squinkabink wrote: > I was meaning to say yogurt having enzymes is good, > but boiled animal buts, > gross, sorry about that.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 The cheese I eat says nothing about rennet. Therefore.. it's rennet free right? Or... maybe not?

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 It might say " enzymes. " Best bet is to ask the manufacturer, but most mass-produced cheeses in the US today are made with cultured rennet. --- elisa <lavendercowz wrote: > The cheese I eat says nothing about rennet. > Therefore.. it's rennet free right?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 i think it was about a year ago that one of our group members, Megan, did a mass emailing to a bunch of US cheese makers asking them which ones were vegetarian, animal rennet free. i don't think i ever saved a file of it, but perhaps Megan will post it again, or after i get back from my weekend camping trip, i can search the archives of our messages and put it in a file. It was a very nice thing for Megan to do as it was right around the time she gave up eating cheese and went dietary vegan! Megan, has it been a whole year vegan for you? ~ pt ~ Some are born to sweet delight; Some are born to endless night. ~ William Blake, " Auguries of Innocence " ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~> , reptile grrl <reptilegoddess> wrote: > It might say " enzymes.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Yes, Megan, please do! I just can't keep up with all the things with hidden non-vegetarian products! Thanks!
