Would you consider BILE from animals non vegetarian or non vegan?!


Question: I'm vegetarian
But I haven't been eating things like Monoglycerides which are associated with bile and pancreatic juices.
And although most of them are APPARENTLY vegetable, I still wouldn't take the chance.
But I haven't thought about this until now that this is kind of like eating milk products because they are both enzymes synthesized by animals.

Bile is used in meat digestion and most herbivores don't have bile or the gall bladder that produces them.

whether to consume bile or any other animal sourced products is an individual choice. Certainly, no one is going to sue you for using or consuming meat/milk/animal prducts. Just go with what you think is right.

A piece of trivia: there is local dish here that uses bile itself as a flavoring.

Take the chance of what? Humans awere created to be omnivorous, not vegetarian...out bodies and our systems are designed to be able to live off all consumables. Stop being so ultra fimickly.

Absulutely not...if Im not going to eat their flesh,or their milk,I sure as hell aint gonna injest their bile.

I don't eat anything like that no.
I think in my opinion it's non vegetarian.
I can't see why anyone would want to eat that!!

Check it out on the Vegetarian Society website!
And - yes we CAN survive on a very mixed diet indeed - but I've been veggie for 40+ years, feel good on it, and believe it to be better for the planet as a whole if people ate less meat!

Just checked it out - monoglycerides are trans-fats. Any fat or oil that is treated with hydrogen to make it solid -as in magarine. Can be animal or veggie based - read the label - but try to avoid it, as it's worse for you than plain animal fat!

How do they get the bile and pancreatic juices ?

DON'T eat that!! I'm vegetarian as well and i would not even consider consuming something like that because after all you are still taking something from the animal! If it hurts the animal, you should not eat it or even buy it!!

Not vegan.

Vegetarian or not who would consume "bile"? That's gross and disgusting.

I mean it's stupid of one commentator to even want to know how you get it.
