Does Kellogg's need to learn the definition of the term "100% Vegetarian"

I'm not a vegetarian. Some things I eat because they're just plain good. Like the Morningstar Farms Pizza Patties. That's a good, little, quick meal on the go when put on a bun with pepper jack cheese.

Anyhoo.. While I'm waiting for it to cook in the microwave, I'm reading the box.

The box says "100% Vegetarian", yet the ingredients list "milk" and "egg whites".

Last time I checked, people that truly sought after "100% Vegetarian" product would be offended that milk was used because milk comes from cows and would be offended that eggs were used because eggs are chicken embryos.

Am I wrong here?

There's different types of vergetarians. Some vegetarians don't eat anything from animals (eggs, milk, meat, etc) while others just stay away from the meats.
My g/f's sister in-law is a vegetarian and I asked her the same question I while back. She rambled off the different types of vegetarians (there's names for each kind) and what they ate/didn't eat.
 
They are still correct. It is 100% Vegetarian, but it isn't Vegan. There is a difference. Vegetarians still eat milk, cheese, and eggs as these are replenishable animal products. Vegans eat no animal products.

<< If it contained no meat or meat byproducts (milk, eggs, etc.) then it should be labelled 100% vegan, no? >>



exactly.
 


<< You finally got it to work

good job

That wasn't me. Although I appreciate the PM tease. 😉 I saw what you were talking about. My guess is that the Anandtech forums server burped. 😛 It's an Athlon, right?

If that makes you feel better 😀😉😛

I'm not going to touch this

:Q😉
 
A steak once a week or so doesn't hurt.... 😉

But on that same note, die hard meat eaters need to realize that some vegetarian food is pretty damn good. 😀
 
Carnivores need to figure out that the meat you buy from the supermarket isn't good for you. 😀😛
 
Vegetarian = indian term for "lousy hunter"

That always cracks me up... Yeah, the other's are right, milk and egg whites are ok for vegetarians. Could never go Vegan *shudder*
 
And it's not strictly 100% vegetarian either. There is a small percentage allowed for crispy critters that happen to wander in during the production process. Mmmm-mmmmm. Tasty bugs.
 


<< Vegetarians need to figure out that animals taste good. >>

I know they taste good I just choose not to eat them.
 
no, that's not vegetarian, that's vegan... jeez...

vegans are those real flaky types who wont eat milk or egg whites. i'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, and i use both dairy products and eggs. i dont any any meat though, be it chicken, beef, or whatever. those vegans are the one who give vegetarians a bad name...

no, really... they do... they're the ones responsible for me always getting 5 pieces of lettuce, two sticks of carrots, and one bread roll each time there's a meal served on an airplane... and i'm sick and tired of it...

remember that guy who lisa wanted for a boyfriend? "pssh, i'm a level 5 vegan, i dont eat anything that leaves a shadow..."

so, kellog's fine...

Believe me, after 8+ years of being a vegetarian, you simply will cringe at the mere thought of eating meat.

Before I became a vegetarian, I liked it to eat fish. Some years ago I ate some fish, just to try the taste.

I didn't know how quickly I had to spew it out. It was the most disgusting food I've ever tasted in my life.

Now come on.... Bears eat fish and if it's good enough for a bear......

That really cracks me up because it makes me think that since taller plants like corn and fruit trees, etc all leave shadows; he won't eat them either. Basically just vine fruits and underground veggies. 😀

Why don't you become a vegetarian for a couple of years and then eat some fish? 😉

Actually, even the smell of meat, during or after preparation, is enough to make me feel at least slightly nauseous. From what I've heard from other vegetarians, this is not uncommon.
 
That sucks Elledan. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years and I still love the smell of bacon or ribs cooking.
 
Elledan, if there is such a thing as an acquired taste, what you describe would be called an
acquired distaste. The "problem" isn't in the meat, it is that you have acclimated yourself not
to like it, especially when it is something you seem to approach just to try the taste... implying
you had already made up your mind.

(actually your reaction sounds much like the way some ex-smokers I've known react to just a
whiff of tobacco... and I'm an ex-smoker.)

Smell can be a much more powerful sense when it comes to food, and in many ways acts as a
complement to taste. Thus your sense of certain foods is filtered thru your current perceptions
of what is and is not healthy for you.

After once having a minor case of food poisioning, I have the same reaction to less than fresh
milk. Even if the milk is still good, and I can taste that it is still good, if it does not taste absolutely
fresh (it has a slight sweetness to it), I cannot stand to drink it.

I understand there are ways to prepare vegetarian dishes that have similar qualities of smell, taste
and texture to meat dishes; you might find you respond better to those.

 


<< jonny, you're thinking of vegans. >>

He's right. There are all sorts of varying levels of veganism. Some including milk and others excluding milk and the same with eggs. For Kellogs to make that claim isn't so much false or inaccurate but rather just a bit broad considering the gray area that is vergetarian [non-red meat basically] and/or veganism [which is stricter]
