Vegetarians, would you eat...?!

Most vegetarians eat processed sugar, some (but not all) use "secondary ingredient" gelatin when it comes to things like coke. Coke also makes a kosher version made with raw sugar and it has a different color cap in order to be easily identifiable.

Vegans however do not eat processed sugar as it's filtered through bone char. Additionally they have to watch what they drink as many alcoholic drinks are filtered though isinglass (fish bladder) to remove impurities.

So, just to clarify, sugar doesn't actually contain bone, it's filtered though bone char.
Alcohol doesn't actually contain fish, its just filtered through isinglass.
As for fish gelatin in coke, havent hear of that.

Vegans and vegetarians can choose beet / turbinado / fructose or any other kinds of sugar which do not whiten using bone char if they do not trust normal brown / white sugar.

And since the original resource of sugar is unknown, vegans and vegetarians should avoid drinking it unless coke can reveal the source to make sure the sugar does not contain bone char.

Actually most sugars aren't bleached with bone char anymore.
As a vegan and because there are still some sugar factories out there who do this, I don't eat any candy and the sugar I buy in bulk for baking vegan cookies must say suitable for vegans on the back.
If a vegan or vegetarian wants to have a cola, that is okay because it's made of corn syrup, although it's not the healthiest thing.

Reply: are you sure? It's a good thing bc I don't drink coke anymore, but last time I researched it, Coca Cola was vegan (both diet and regular)...

Question: Vegetarians, would you eat bones? Answer: No. And your additional detail of "sugar!!" is not illuminating. I buy vegan sugar - is that what you're talking about?

I did not know about the uncertainty about soda. Looking it up, a lot of people do feel it has fish in it, but it seems difficult to get the company to come out and say it. But here is a letter from Coke from 2007 which says it does not: http://streetteam.peta2.com/public/folde…

Here is a 2010 letter: http://www.chicagoveg.org/messages/board…

But then there's this ingredient list from 2004: http://www.rense.com/general50/class.htm

Here is a veg site which tells which Coke products are or are not: http://www.isitveggie.com/. Seems to be UK from 2007.

Doesn't seem like it should be this hard to find out what we're eating. Another reason not to drink Coke.

I can't understand how you would eat bones, unless you just put it in for making a stock. In which case, yeah I would still consume whatever was made with the stock.
How do you figure that coke has fish gelatin - which ingredient please because I wasn't aware?

I am not a vegetarian, but I wouldn't eat bones (and I doubt other non-vegetarians would too). They taste disgusting.
