Should I tell her???!
If you wanna know, they use rennet, a chemical sourced from calves’ stomachs used in the production of whey.

What is the difference between a vegetarian and vegan?
Answers: One of my friends is a vegetarian, (I find it interesting; She became a vegetarian in 2ng Grade, we are now in 5th grade and I find that very mature) and I was reading that Snickers, Ice Cream, Twix, and Easter Eggs would no longer be suitable for vegetarians. She may have eaten those not knowing that they were not suitable for vegetarians. I don't want her to feel bad that she ate something from a calve's stomach.

You should tell her she shuld appreciate that you care..and a vegiterian I someone who stays away from meats and a vegan stays away from meats and all the animals products EX milk,cheese,and "snickers"
you should print out some info and give it to her under the premise that you found it interesting and thought of her when you saw it. she will make up her own mind on what to eat or not. bonus ? vegans are more extreme, some vegetarians include milk and cheese in there diet. vegans wont even eat honey because it was made by a creature/ my grandmother used rennet in making homemade cheese as well
Yes, I would tell her. I am sure she would appreciate the information if she is a pretty devout vegan.
This is how I personally define vegetarian and vegan:
Vegetarian - person that doesn't eat meat but still eats eggs and dairy
Vegan - Does not eat meat, eggs, or dairy.
you should tell her. she wants to be vegetarian and any info would be good.
a vegatarian does not eat meat
a vegan does not eat any animal products (eggs, milk, )
If she wants to know she should be told by someone else usually, but it would seem a bit rude to intrude on what she eats. Though ice cream usually does not contain rennet, and eggs are suitable for vegetarians because they eat more than just vegetation, and they're not vegans. A vegan is usually a stricter vegetarian that eats no eggs, or dairy products but sometimes honey depending on the person, some vegans lead a vegan life style which means no animal products, by-products, or any other things tested on animals.
wow! you seem very mature and articulate for a 5th grader, but you should really tell her, and if shes sad about it tell hers its ok. i would have ever known that if you didnt say anything either.
You should definitely tell her, in case she doesn't know. However, the change is recipe is only in the U.K., so anybody in North America is still fine.
A vegetarian eats no meat (including sea animals, fish, and poultry) as well as meat-based ingredients (rennet, gelatin, lard, etc.) Lacto-ovo vegetarians are the most common type, who eat both dairy and eggs. Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy but no eggs, ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but no dairy. Strict vegetarians, or vegans, don't eat or use any animal products or animal derived ingredients, such as meat, dairy, eggs, honey, silk, fur, leather, etc.
I don't think it would be wrong to bring up the information you have. You can try to say it in a friendly way, such as... "you know what I heard?....." I would be appreciative of anyone offering information about hidden ingredients I was not aware of in food. She may feel bad at first, but would also probably be grateful that you let her know, instead of not saying anything.
Vegetarian: Eats no animal or slaughter by product
Vegan:(includes above), plus does not consume eggs, dairy, honey and also abstains from wearing animal products.
You should really tell her. If she finds out about this and she finds out that you knew that without telling her, it could ruin your relationship.
It would be nice you told your friend in a gentle way about this information you have found out about certain candy. She will probably be upset, but, if you are gentle about saying how you found this info and thought she might want to know, she might be able to handle it.
If she is a smart girl, she will not go back and feel bad about what has been done in the past (she did not know) but will simply avoid such things in the future (I once at dog meat -- I did not know it was dog meat when I ate it, and, by the time I found out three days later, I could not throw it up, so I just never at that sausage again. I did not get upset about what I had done, because I did not know. One of my Muslim friends at pork fried rice unknowingly. He was so happy eating it. I never told him until he wanted to order the same thing again. Then I told him, and he did not order it. He was not responsible for what happened before, because he did not know)
tell your friend gently.
If I ate animal products without knowing it then I think I'd really rather someone told me
Vegitatians don't eat anything *made* from animals (meat, fish, gelatin)
Vegans don't eat anything that *comes from* animals (eggs, dairy)
I would definitely tell my friend as gently as possible about the rumor you heard.
I did hear, though, that there was such an outcry that at least in the U.K., they're changing back to the formula for vegetarians. I don't know if they're doing the same in the U.S.
A vegetarian eats no animal flesh, no gelatin, no rennet--basically, no slaughterhouse byproducts.
A vegan consumes no animal flesh, no slaughterhouse byproducts, no dairy, no eggs, no honey. A vegan avoids silk, wool, leather, and fur; avoids buying products from companies who test on animals; and avoids animal products in what they buy.
Vegetarian is a diet, veganism is a lifestyle.
