I saw my vegetarian friend eat a chocolate chip cookie?!?!?!
Answers:
Do you or do you not want Santa to give you coal? If you tell her that's surely what you'll get because you'll just ruin her christmas. But if you or she is Jewish then go ahead and tell her, Hanukkah is over anyhow.
Her digestive system may not be used to the meat depending on how long she has been veg so she may vomit. I advise you to stay as far away from her as you can for as long as you can.
I'm just going to assume that she is a new member of the veggie munchers club since everyone knows that chocolate chip cookies are a BIG vegetarian no-no. Make sure she knows not to eat tomatoes either, they're actually fruits and we wouldn't want her to be seen as a traitor now, would we?
Maybe she only ate the chocolate chip cookies because she was really desperate and didn't know what she could and could not eat. If this is the case, tell her gummy bears and Cesar salad are acceptable.

I depends what type of vegitarian they are, if she was vegan she would not allow herself to eat animal byproducts or animals in general. Chocolate contains milk which is a bi-product of cows, but an animal hasen't been killed to make the cookie/choclate chips, as far as the batter, eggs not be in it. BUT she may just be a vegitarian that avoids meats ask her!!
These are the types of vegitarians:
?Vegans: Strict vegetarians who do not eat meat of any kind, eggs, dairy products, or even do not consume processed foods containing any animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin are termed as vegans. There also includes a subset of vegans who call themselves as ‘raw vegans’ who only consume unprocessed vegan foods.
?Fruitarians: Some people have carried the concept of vegetarianism to another extreme wherein the people only eat fresh fruits, these people are called fruitarians.
?Lacto-ovo-Vegetarians: Vegetarians who do not eat pork, beef, poultry, fish, or animal flesh of any kind, but do consume eggs and dairy products are called lacto-ovo vegetarians.
?Lacto Vegetarians: Vegetarians who do not eat any type of animal meat or even poultry and eggs but consume milk are called lacto vegetarians.
?Ovo Vegetarians: Vegetarians who do not eat any kind of animal flesh or meat, and do not even consume milk, but eat eggs are called ovo vegetarians.
?Pescatarian: Pescatarians are those who refrain from eating all types of meat with the exception of fish. Usually this type of diet results owing to the demand for nutritional requirements fulfilled by fish.
?Flexitarians: Flexitarians are those who mostly stick to a vegetarian diet but occasionally eat meat.
?Pollo-Vegetarians: People who eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck but no other type of animal flesh and meat and the regular vegetarian ingredients are termed as pollo vegetarians.

Chocolate chips aren't made out of pigs, to my knowledge. In fact, I have never in my life found a non-vegetarian chocolate chip. There are non-vegan ones, but most are vegetarian. Typical chocolate chips contain cocoa solids, some sort of fat (the best ones use cocoa butter, others might use palm oil), sugar, soy lecithin, and/or milk solids. None of that comes from pig.
Someone was pulling your leg when they told you that chocolate is made out of pig. Try reading an ingredients label sometime to see for yourself.
Last time I checked there was no meat in Chocolate chip cookies. Meat is the flesh of an animal. Look at this recipe below for Chocolate chip cookies. I assure you none of the ingredients are meat.
? 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
? 1 teaspoon baking soda
? 1 teaspoon salt
? 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
? 3/4 cup granulated sugar
? 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
? 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
? 2 eggs
? 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Chocolate chips
Chocolate is usually made of cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar, milk/milk powder, occasional soy products, and normally a few preservatives. As long as the preservatives or fats are not derived from slaughter bi-products, then they're fine.
The main concern with cookies would be the shortening, not the chocolate. Though I've never seen a cookie made from lard. =/
Vegetarian--who can eat chocolate.
Um, they make vegan chocolate chips. And Vegetarian/Vegan chocolate chip cookies. A chocolate chip cookie isn't meat. The link is to two brands. The site has a lot more on it. They are all Vegetarian or Vegan so it is ok for her to eat them. You can even bake Vegetarian cookies. The last link has some recipes you and she might both enjoy.
=/= means does not equal. Chocolate chips aren't meat is what is being said.
Edited to add. Amanda I know what you are trying to say. Some chocolate chips have lard [pig fat] in them by way of processing. Not all have it in some are processed a different way. They both are chocolate chips but they all have different ingredients except for the cocoa which is what makes it chocolate. So you are right but so are we. If your friend ate Vegetarian ones she's fine.

I don't know what ingredient in chocolate chip cookies is forbidden to vegetarians. They do contain eggs and the chips contain some milk, but most vegetarians are lacto-ovo vegetarians. That means they eat milk (lacto) and eggs (ovo). But there's no meat in chocolate chips (at least the recipe I use). So I don't think you caught your friend cheating.
ok, if chocolote chips are MADE-OUT of pig, she can still have it cuz she's only vegetarian. if it were an actual a slice of bacon or something on the cookie.... now that would be wrong. she can eat chocolate chip if she's vegetarian, not if she's vegan. not just cuz of the chips but just the sugar... what do you think sugar is made out of?
Dude,
Chocolate chips aren't flesh.
Vegetarians can only not eat flesh.
If your friend was a vegan, they couldn't eat chocolate chips.
Vegans take dairy out of their diet.
Chocolate chips are made with dairy.
In other words: Vegetarians can eat chocolate chips.
Simple, isn't it?
Ummmm.... there is NO pig in a chocolate chip cookie. unless you happen to have really weird recipes... first read the ingredients of Chocolate then a Chocolate chip cookie, and nowhere on there does it state PIG or Cow or Pelican or Dolphin or any other animal...
Common sence, and recipie books
What exactly is non vegetarian about a chocolate chip? Is your friend a vegan and was the chocolate chip a milk chocolate chip? chocolate chips are not made out of meat and there are so many different versions of vegetarianism that even if they were she could make an allowance for herself.
Chocolate chips are made with milk, not pigs. While mot chocolate is unsuitable for a vegan diet, a lacto- or lacto-ovo vegetarian can eat it without a problem.
=/= means does not equal or is not equivalent to.
Chocolate has no meat in it.. If she is vegan she won't eat chocolate because it has milk in it. Well i hope chocolate does not have meat in it because i am veggie and love chocolate!
there is not pig in chocolate.
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5561382_ingred…
there's even vegan Chocolate
When you're telling someone that they're wrong, and that they should check their facts, at least use proper grammar... and no, pigs are not involved in the making of chocolate chips
Chocolate =/= meat.
Get it now?
edit: it means they are not equal. What pig ingredient is in chocolate? Show me a source.
There is NO pig in chocolate chip cookies, you should find out your facts before making such an outrageous statement.
Pigs....? Nope. There's Vegan cookies, without milk..
this question is so stupid ..
there are no animals in cookies! A vegetarian can eat chocolate chips. Goodness gracious.
Why are YOU freaking out about it? Are you the vegetarian police?
Since when was choco chips made out of pigs??? Do you have a source or are you delusional.
Chocolate comes from cocoa beans, not pigs. I really hope you're joking.
How is a chocolate chip made out of pigs?
