One girl, recently arrived from India for the first time, was examining wrappers very closely. She finally asked someone, "Is any of this vegetarian? I don't know what the ingredients are." After a few minutes of looking, we all had to admit we didn't know what was in any of it either. -- Drew

The fly in the ointment: nearly all these vegetarians are strong on dairy products. To give milk, a cow has to get knocked up once a year and drop a calf. Half those calves are male, so can't be sent to work in the milk mines. They have to be sent into the veal market, legally or illegally. That is why I state on the Clovegarden site that it is impossible to be an "ethical vegetarian" if you are an "ovo lacto" vegetarian. You are as guilty of the slaughter of veal calves as if you were a meat eater.
