Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Hi Sandra Welcome to vegan chat - we're a little quiet at the moment, but are usually a bit busier than this! *prodding list to wake people up* > I am a fairly new member here and I am looking for some help finding sources of protein. There's loads of places to get protein - nuts, tofu, soya, etc. (I see Fraggle has already given a big long list) > Also, could you tell me what foods have "hidden" animal products. Something most people would eat thinking it was > vegaterian/vegan and it's actually not Again, all sorts of stuff - most of the surprising ones are drinks - most wines, Coca Cola, a couple of beers (Guinness I believe is one - but as I don't drink I don't keep up with which beers are OK and which aren't). In terms of food, easiest thing is to read the ingedients - it's not all-encompassing, but will give you an idea. Watch out for stuff like whey, lactose, shellac. Also, sometimes things with added vitamin D (vitamin D2 is animal friendly). Generally, I avoid stuff which just says "flavourings" and doesn't give details, because there's no way to know without getting in touch with the manufacturers. There's also a huge list of "E" numbers to look out for. Check out the vegan society (UK) web page (I don't know the address, but if you do a search on Vegan Society UK you should be able to find it).

So it should get easier as I go along next week tho I travel to Boston, Mass for a big meeting BB Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I set off at 6:12 and arrived at 12:19. The M23 was out of action and it was virtual gridlock. After over 6 hours with no loo and no tea I was not in the best of moods! And then I had to start my day's work! Still, what can you do when there's no work in your area and you're an only child with a divorced mother in her seventies just down the road? I'm here for the duration. It's not always an easy choice! Cheers Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Good Morning Jo! Thanks, actually I really like it a lot! And come february, I will " lose " the farther branch branch, keep the closer one and gain a new one that is closer to me as well. So my territory will actually change for the better. So I guess I can keep up the long commute for a few more months. Especially when i know what the end result will be. nikki , " Peter " <Snowbow@b...> wrote: > Hi Nikki > > I hope the new job is going well.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 At least I'm not driving! Use to have to drive to Springfield, IL, St. Louis, MO, IA, and Indianapolis, IN all the time. Though these are not quite as far, still a pain in the back! nikki , " Heartwork " <Heartwork@b...> wrote: > Wow! > > Jo > > > AHA!
