[cheyenne]

the colorant used in smarties is from cockroaches(cochineal)do you think it is right for the vegetarian society to sue nestle.has this put you of smarties??(catch you lot sunday im of to a wedding in london)bye bye!!(the ed feels a sigh of relieve!!

If you think the vegetarian society should sue Nestle, then maybe they should sue cows too. Cows contain meat, but have no labelling on the outside to say so. Naughty cows. And dogs, and rats, and fish. And what is it with people who claim to be vegetarians, but who eat fish.

I say, eat what you like, and it's not anybodys position to stop other people eating what they want. There's always an exception though, if somebody is trying to nibble off your toe for a quick snack, then you have full rights to give them a clonk.

Well I am horrified! How come that after having a mother and sister and close friends that are vegetaaian, nobody told me about Smarties! They only reason I questiones them was that I was scrutinizing a McDonalds food nutrional list when I noticed that the smarties McFlurry was not veggie.... eeew yuk!. How do I explain this one to my vegetarian 3 year old daughter.
