snickers no longer satisfies

the rennet is used to make whey (a by-product of cheesemaking) which is used in the manufacture of chocolate.

your kids can still enjoy sundrops, which are natural M&M-like candies available at health food stores. they are grain sweetened and have a delicious, warm flavor.

Well that stuff is crap anyway. I guess on Halloween its gonna be a total bummer but I feel much better not eating that crap cuz I'm sure its loaded with sugar and all kinds of weird stuff anyway.
Thanks for the list though, I was kinda wondering what candy bars it was.

 

This is for the UK though by the way.

If you interested there is a petition here (it went down for a few days so apologies):

As a note I think I posted on here a while ago about this

You can also phone masterfoods for free in the Uk (but not necessarily from a mobile) on 0800 952 1234 to tell them you are annoyed with them. Feel free to pass this info on and get more people to phone them (please refer them to the petition) and to sign the petition.

Thanks.

 

We did enjoy sundrops - M&Ms were a potty training treat... and other than as a treat from church once or twice they haven't entered our house since!

Our problem now is that the sundrops aren't guaranteed as gluten-free. (sigh) So we're on the hunt for some sort of teeny tiny sweet that's safe for him. So far he's been okay with chocolate covered raisins though, so it's not THAT big a deal.

Uh...it is peoples DECISION not to eat things from other animals bodies...just as its yours to do so. Now i ask you, look around...see how what this world needs right now is acceptance, truth and learning...and stop making things on this planet that little bit worse by being a class A jerk

 

For some people, the distaste and belief that meat eating is wrong is strong enough to not want to munch their favourite chocs anymore, knowing they contain dead animal. I just thought that was obvious
