off topic rant about vegetarians or lack thereof

[Guest guest]

I met a chic today who was " vegetarian "

She was eating starburst.

THAT'S NOT VEGETARIAN

Gelatin (also gelatine) is a translucent brittle solid substance, colorless or

slightly yellow, nearly tasteless and odorless, which is created by prolonged

boiling of animal skin, connective tissue or bones. It has many uses in food,

medicine, and manufacturing. Substances that contain or resemble gelatin are

called gelatinous. Gelatin is also known as E number E441. So as Polina says:

Skittles, taste the animal skin, connective tissue an bones!

Stupid people irritate me.

Then there is the idiot that thinks fish is vegetarian...or even the idiot

that thinks CHICKEN is vegetarian...

 

ok.

It was once a living, breathing animal. It is not vegetarian. Just cause it's

a cold blooded animal, or it hatches it's young does not make it an animal. A

vegetarian tried to avoid KILLING things.

Now...lets move on to cheese. Most cheese is not vegetarian in the USA. A lot

of cheese contains Rennent.

RENNET [rennet] substance containing rennin, an enzyme having the property of

clotting, or curdling, milk. It is used in the making of cheese and junket.

Rennet is obtained from the stomachs of young mammals living on milk, especially

from the inner lining of the fourth, or true, stomach (abomasum) of milk-fed

calves. The preparation of rennet was formerly a part of the domestic function

of making cheese; the inner membrane was kept in salt, dried, and, when rennet

was needed, soaked in water. Now extract of rennet is made and sold

commercially. It is usually prepared by soaking the tissues in warm, slightly

salted water and straining and preserving the resulting liquid. Heat interferes

with the action of rennet.

 

Now...I do not expect people to be vegetarians or to be making the journey I

am towards vegan. (I still have makeup and take medications that are not totally

vegan and occasionally consume things with honey in them...mostly because of not

checking until too late or having little to no options available. I can be very

scatterbrained at times.) We all make mistakes and some of us do not want to

cease consuming animal products. I respect that. BUT DON'T SAY YOU ARE

VEGETARIAN IF YOU EAT THINGS THAT ARE DEAD!! Are you with me? Sorry for being so

pissy. I am grumpy and tired but can't sleep cause my tummy hurts. I forgot to

take my endo herbs today. Call it semi PMS.
