Are YA vegans anti-semetic?

From time to time, when someone asks a question about determining what salad dressing, cookies, BBQ sause, crackers etc, are veggie I will suggest one way to find okay food is to look for a kosher symbol such as U inside a circle, or a K inside a circle or triangle.

This always results in a lot of thumbs down.

This approach works because Jewish diatary law forbids mixing milk and meat. So unless the food is marked as being meat or marked as being dairy it contains neither meat nor milk what is refered to as parve.

Why are people so against using this as one method for finding vegan food?

Is it anti-semitism?
Or jeolousy because not nearly as much food is marked vegan?
Bitter because Jewish dietary law which was the first religion to incorporate respect for animals into the religion didn't go all the way to vegitarianism?

Jill - I missed the eggs. But animal fat won't be in the food. Although kosher beef lard would not make cookies unkosher per se, kosher cookies don't contain it because it would make the food a meat product. Observant Jews would not buy cookies that if eaten would mean you could not drink milk with (or for the next 6 hours)

Considering I grew up Jewish, no.

The thumbs down are because the answers are inaccurate.

An item will be marked pareve if there is no dairy or meat in the ingredients. Sometimes, it's vegan. However, there could be eggs or fish in there (as fish is considered pareve, not meat). A vegan item might be marked with the "D" outside the circle because of shared machinery--a particularly observant Jew may avoid that with or shortly after a meat meal because of the possibility of trace amounts of milk, but many vegans will eat it if there is no dairy in the ingredients.

There are also observant Jews who consider gelatin a "meat" product--it doesn't matter how processed the part is, it's still part of an animal. So they look for products with fish gelatin because they are pareve.
