A reader named Karen left a comment on yesterday’s post to say that Coke contains animal products (and that the company are major human rights violators). My questions are as follows:
- Does Coca-cola contain animal products?
- If so, are any soft drinks vegetarian-safe? Which ones?
- What proportion of vegetarians go so far as to remove traces of such things in their food?
- There is a stereotype of vegetarians being more socially conscious than other folks. How much truth is in this? What might motivate this activism?
Meal One:
- Strawberry & blueberry yogurt parfait
- O.J.
- Eggplant Parmesan
- Glacéau VitaminWater
- Vegetarian chicken patty burger thing
- Fancy, whole-grain basil pesto penne primavera from the folks at Kashi (this had a bunch of random vegetables in it)
- Odwalla Blueberry B Monster
- Pumpkin PIE!!!
- Half of a nasty, nasty orange-colored white chocolate KitKat. NASTY. White chocolate = gag!

Ah old micky d's, you know they put beef flavoring in their fries, so they're not vegetarian.
And yes most vegetarians are more socially conscious than other people. There are multiple reasons for people to become vegetarian, but it usually includes social issues. If you want to expose yourself to this you should read "the food revolution."
Also if you are doing it because of health reasons, coke products usually don't make sense to bring into your diet.
It is usually the vegan people who are super anal about what food they put into their body.
