Sorry Vegetarians, No More Snickers (or Twix, or Mars, or Milky Way) Bars For You

Submitted by Rahodeb

What's better than a Snickers bar when you need some satisfaction? How about a Snickers bar made with the inner-mucosa (fourth stomach) of slaughtered, milk-fed, new-born cow calves! Yum, yum! What's that? You're a vegetarian and you avoid animal rennet? Well, then you'll also want to avoid all chocolate and ice cream treats from Masterfoods. Not familiar with Masterfoods? Here's a list of the products they'll be making with slaughtered baby cow bellies:

Rennet will now be found in Snickers, M&M, Twix, Milky Way, Bounty, Mars, Dove Chocolate and Malteasers products, as well as the ice cream versions of all Masterfoods' bars.

Awesome! Now not only is your Snickers bar peanutty, nougatty, and chocolaty, it's rennety!

Paul Goalby, corporate affairs manager for Masterfoods, demonstrated his clear understanding of and respect for the vegetarian lifestyle with this explanation:

"If the customer is an extremely strict vegetarian, then we are sorry the products are no longer suitable, but a less strict vegetarian should enjoy our chocolate."

Apparently, "less strict" vegetarians find the inner-mucosa of slaughtered, milk-fed, new-born cow calves delectable, like veal and fois gras. Bravo, Masterfoods, for taking an enormous step backwards. Alternatives to animal rennet are available, but you already know that—you used to use them.

Reading comprehension seems to be a problem with people on this thread! surreal

If you bother to read beyond the title, you'd know that Mars was planning to do this in the UK only, not the US. You'd also know that they changed their mind after public outcry. This is an old thread. Stop being outraged by something that did not happen. And by the way if you eat most cheese you are eating rennet so stop being all grossed out by this. You already eat the stuff. tongue

A) The rennet was only in UK-manufactured M&Ms, and has been stopped. If people would read the entire thread before they started to comment, they would know this.

B) If you're thinking about *vegetarianism*, those juices should not present a problem for you. None of that stuff is "meat". Merely animal-based products, something that's mostly an issue for *vegans*.



Latecomers, how about reading previous comments?



You mean "how about reading twenty six pages of thread?" Thanks for the suggestion. Ummm... no, I don't think I'll do that. I go to a lot of AV threads that are eighty, ninety pages long and even on the rare times I've been able to read the whole thing it's so long, I don't necessarly remember every important thing covered in the darned thing. So good for people who don't read twelve thousand threads. As Greg House likes to say, "work smart not hard."smile And haters, let's stop acting so much like an eighties record store clerk who's just been asked when the new Bon Jovi CD is coming out.
