Um, what on earth are you talking about? The only way I can read this is you implying that not eating animal products is crucial to the survival of the human race, which would seem manifestly untrue.

And yes, you are casting stones where you shouldn't.

i love fourth stomach! so much tastier than stomachs one through three!

hmm, which is worse, never being able to eat snickers again, or all the fucking stupid, juvenille internet nerd comments that proceed this article?

He's talking about food, genius. The willful mass-ignorance of what you put in your mouth. (In this case that would be your foot.)

Maybe if he hadn't said anything about his friends teasing him for not eating meat or dairy, I could see that.

This is really annoying. I've become a semi-vegetarian (not because of ethical reasons, just because meat has started to make me feel sick) and I don't know what to do now I know they're pouring cow's stomach lining into cheese and candy bars.

On the one hand, I could try and pretend I don't know what's in them so I can keep enjoying the creamy goodness. But on the other hand, its just putrid and disgusting.

There are plenty of non-animal types of rennet out there, why don't they just use them? Do the manufacturers get some perverse thrill from seeing people obliviously eat disgusting things?

I got a few things to say...
1st. For those who think Vegetarians will inherit the earth, it was those who went from vegetarian to omnivours that did before. That's why we have sharp teeth in the front now. So, before you try to call me inferior because I follow what my ancient ancestors found that was better, think before you open your fucking mouth to me.
2nd. For those who think he is an Ass for saying, only strict vegetarians, he is right. Cause it is used in MANY processes, like cheese and yogart and milk. So, actually, it is the VEGANS that wouldn't like it. which is a "strict" vegetarian. So, if you even give a fuck about this article, that means you eat said products, which could have used this further back in the process. This things aren't made all in one place.
3rd. For those who are pissed that others don't care what is in their food, look at everything. Unless you grow your food yourself, you have no idea what you are eating. Veggies/Fruits are pumped with many MANY chemicals, which I'm sure some have an animal product in there somehow. So, unless you have a garden in your backyard, and that is all you eat, get off my back for enjoying a delicious fucking snickers.
4th. As far as alternatives, yes, there is a few. Some made from Mold/Funguses, which can end up with animal products in them. Some can be made from veggies, but there is no commercial distributer in the WORLD for this, which a company of such size would need. And then there is Genetics, which all those bleeding hearts out there are against, cause yes it does require a sample.
5th. In the end, this was a stupid decision. Yes it can affect the taste because it affects the process of how it is made. When it comes to food, which I am going to school for, even the smallest thing can effect the taste. Or it could be the cost, which, animal rennet is used in cheaper foods so I presume it is cheaper, but because of the switch, you lose a HUGE market. Not only do you have the VEGANS, uneducated folks who think you have wronged them, and just don't know what they eat eslewer, and the that you piss off, but there are many religions, such as Jews, Muslims, and Hindu's that will not be too happy. So if you lose the market, you lose money anyways. Not a smooth move.

So, I'm sure someone will be pissed, but Oh, well. I LOVED my M&M's that I ate earlier.

mmmmm sounds tasty. i'llo still eat it, heck, i still love a good 20 pack of 3 dollar hot dogs! mmm dog...tasty...

Good point Ben. For those who are upset, I hope you don't eat hotdogs.

Really, anybody that cares what goes into a chocolate bar, shouldn't eat most chocolate bars in the first place.

Also, anybody that cares what goes into a chocolate bar isa goddamn moron and should fucking get over themselves.

Being Vegan I never ate any of this crap.. but why would they start using this now? i wonder if it will be on the ingredients of the packaging as well.

Get off your high horse man. You mean to tell me that you know just about everything about the food products that you put into your mouth? BULLSHIT... Unless you grow and prepare all of your own food, you are leaving that up to someone else, trusting someone else to tell you the truth about the processes behind your food production.

How is your food any more safe simply because you don't eat meat or dairy?

is this just in the UK?
