If i wanna be the type of vegetarian that doesn't eat any product made from animals....?!


Question: what foods can i not have?


Answers: what foods can i not have?

It's called being a vegan.
When being vegan look out for a lot of stuff! You will be suprised to find out what is and isnt vegan. An example may be cerial; most cerials either contain honey or milk, so it is kinda hard to come across some good ones (I like the Whole Wheat Cheerios, they are extremely good, and they contribute to breast cancer). Bread is also another thing you may want to look out for. A lot of bread has honey, eggs, or milk in the ingredients. These are usually one of the last ingredients in bold, but not always.

Also make sure you are aware of gelatin and glycerin(e).
Gelatin is made out of cow hooves and it is usually in sweer gooey foods like:
Skittles
Starburst
Marshmellows
yogurt (may say kosher gelatin-which still isnt good)
gummy bears
poptarts with frosting
and some other stuff

glycerin(e) is either animal fat or vegetable fat so you have to call the company to find out. It is in:
some soap
some toothpaste (colgate is goo, crest is not)
and some other stuff

-hope i helped, and good luck with becoming vegan!

honey, gelatin , aspic

That would be a vegan, and the list of items to avoid is long.
It includes gelatin, whey, casein, glycerin, mono & diglycerides.....

It simplifies things greatly if you avoid processed foods. Get a good cookbook.

You can find the complete list of animal derived ingredients here:

no more eggs, milk, or honey!
no more marshmellows (they have pig gellatin in them)

1. Gelatin (boiled down animal bones)

2. Seafood of any kind (many chinese Restaurants use fish pastes in their soups).

3. Honey

4. Animal milks such as cow and goat

5. cheese (yeah I know it can be hard but I do not even create it anymore)

6. carmine (some red dyes are made from tiny insects).

7. Some clarifying agents in wine and beer

8. Whey derived from milk

9. Royal Jelly (feeds queen bees)

10. Lactose derived from dairy

11. Sometimes White Sugar (Because some sugar companies process sugar through a bone char. The bone char decolorizes the sugar.)

12. Mcdonald's french fries. They use beef as a natural flavoring.

13. rennet (often put in cheeses and is made of the fourth cow 's stomach)

14. cysteine (human hair as source)

15. Lard (among other things can be used in maple syrup)

16. eggs (how could I forget eggs. Beware as fo chicken as they often use egg whites for flavoring)


If you are worried look for the VEGAN label. Unfortunately not every product will be labeled as such. I suggest making some calls to the customer service of certain products you like or are curious about and asking them to label them as such if it is such the case.

Also shop at a coop or health food store such as Whole foods Wild oats, or any independent store. They often carry products with vegetarian friendly labels.

gelatin, lactase, lactose, bee pollen, honey, milk, milk products, milk derivatives, cheese, eggs, albumen, egg products, egg derivatives.......

You would be a vegan!
