What are some foods you wouldn't think that vegetarians can't eat?
You know how some people don't know that Skittles have gelatin in them so you can't eat them if they are vegetarian? Well I want to make sure that I don't ever make a mistake like that, so what foods do I have to stay away from? It's been a few years, but I got really worried that I am eating something I shouldn't.

Its really hard these days to know. I was just reading an article about it. There are huge amounts of products that uses something or the other from animals. Stuff like cheese, some soft drinks like fanta, red wine, even bread has microscopic amounts of animal hair! List goes on.
I also have a hard time especially when they don't even right it on their products. For me as a vegetarian, I've set some rules for myself. I don't eat anything that walks, crawls, swims or fly's. But eggs I do eat. I love eating sweet things and came too much for me to handle with all the asking esp at cafes, parties etc. Also in bakeries, maybe they don't use eggs but they sometimes brush egg yolk on the pastries.
Think other people can manage better than me but I really can't. I feel that I'm doing my part as best as I can. I can't avoid everything and I really can't move to country side and grow my own foods. So all I'm saying is that its not right that your worried when eating something, that takes the fun out of eating :) Set your standards, no one has the right to judge you or force you, so you decide.
