ta, few surprises though.

What it does show is that to a degree being truly vegetarian or vegan is an impossible goal.  The common example I use is flour.  Does anyone really believe it never contains any ground up field mouse or fly that got in the way of harvesting?  Well I guess some do, I never have.

Mrs K and I go for the two tests of not known to contain and every reasonable effort has been made to preclude.  So I don't drink Guinness, eat genuine parmesan, Trebor mints etc.  A huge number of products in the UK are now labelled as vegetarian and some specifically as not which makes life easy.

I will never pretend being veggie is more right than eating meat/fish or even that I will never revert, just right now it's what's right for me (nearly 20 years now)

What do I miss most?   McDonalds chicken sandwiches  sad32:.
