> [@](#): > > **mhendo** said: > If by “produces veal as a byproduct,” you mean that veal calves are fed milk, you are right, but your argument is moronic. Having worked on a small, family owned, non-corporate ‘organic’ type dairy farm for three years, I can tell you that it’s not the fact that veal calves are fed milk that makes a dairy farm contribute ‘to the veal industry’. Reality is that in order to keep cows producing milk, those cows have to keep having calves. Those calves will either be male or female. Of the female calves, some or most are kept to renew the herd. Most of the time none of the males are kept because the dairy farmer will use artificial insemination to ensure a good gene distribution. Those calves that are auctioned off or sold have to go somewhere, and though some of the females could be picked up by other dairy farms, you can be almost certain that the males will be sold for veal or castrated, raised as steers and turned into beef. ---

I have a mini-sampling here. At my job there are approximately 15 workers. Four identify themselves as vegetarian (one doesn’t like eggs, but eats them if she can’t taste them, the others have no problem with lactose products), one is vegan (and all that implies - nothing related to animal products, such as gelatin, dairy, honey, whey, meat, etc), and one is almost vegetarian (meaning that he eats meat occasionally, so doens’t identify himself as such). We often have birthday parties (cake or pie), and unfortunately, this usually means that the vegan is left out, but she doesn’t complain, just gets something of her own to eat. We just had her birthday party and they got some vegan cookies for her. There’s never a problem there - she realizes that a lot of the time when we have desserts they aren’t going to be edible for her (and yes, I know it’s possible to get some vegan ones, but frankly, the ones I’ve had haven’t been that good and besides that, it’s up to the birthday girl/boy to pick their dessert, and we get a discount at the store next door, which doesn’t really do vegan stuff, so don’t go off on me about that). I think that in a sense, some people are being too hard on the OP. Yes, it was idiotic to think that a vegetarian meal should be made vegan (a lot of vegetarians needs that protein from the eggs, or like mayo on their sandwiches), and to go off on the people at the deli (in the thread, not in person) because it should be vegan. But honestly, it seems it was the co-worker’s fault. The co-worker was told several times that prisoner didn’t eat eggs, yet failed to specify, and thus the food was inedible. Just because prisoner is complaining here about it doesn’t mean that he is a militant vegan/vegetarian. None of us have any idea what he’s like in person and how he acts. The Pit is for fuming and flaming, and that’s what he’s doing. His arguments aren’t the most coherent, but still, I think a lot of people are assuming that simply because he’s complaining, that must mean he’s an ass in real life. And to continue with the tofu hijack - I don’t usually press my tofu. I buy the extra firm, cut it in cubes, throw it in the stir fry and it browns a bit. It can be a little slimy, but I hate the tofu they usually have in chinese restaurants, where it’s all fried and caky. Btw, I’ve found it’s really good if cooked with balsamic vinegar, or sherry, or red wine, or soy sauce. ---

Sure, veal is, to a certain extent, a by-product of the dairy industry. However, if there were no demand for the veal itself, then those calves would not be raised the way they are. \*\* Heh, what the fuck ever… I was poking fun at my own eating habits (or relative lack thereof) and pointing out that it doesn’t make any sense at all for the op to go on about eggs being the moral equivalent of eating a pre-chicken but ignore (or not recognise) the moral problems inherent in drinking milk. Eat eggs, don’t… I don’t care… I will however point out that it’s kinda stupid to tell people that you don’t eat eggs because ‘it’s sorta like killing’ because they’re ‘pre-chickens’ but readily drink milk which promotes the production of veal calves. I mean if you don’t eat eggs because they creep you out, you don’t like them, don’t eat ANY animal products or think they’re unhealthy… fine… all perfectly sound reasons in my book. BTW the arguement against milk regarding veal production is hardly my own, it’s the same one you’ll hear many vegans espouse and the logic IS pretty solid. I just don’t happen to see anything bad about it, but I would think that somebody who won’t even eat an egg because it’s ‘sorta like killing’ would have a MAJOR problem with the whole veal thing. All in all it was just another aspect of the op that made absolutely NO logical sense (along the same vein as asking for a vegetarian meal, getting one… then complaining about it)that I wanted to point out. In short I was being a preachy asshole about inconsistancy and sloppy thinking… not about anybody’s dietary choices. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by prisoner6655321 \* > \*\* > If you do not know what vegan means then then you think that vegetarian means no animal products. \*\* No way! I’m a vegetarian, and when I tell people that, most of them assume I eat dairy and eggs. Then, there are those people, like my boyfriend’s parents, who assume vegetarians eat fish and have to be told that I don’t eat anything that was once an animal. Those people who know what a vegan is will ask if I’m a vegan or “just a vegetarian.” Just have to add…I wouldn’t be too happy if my “vegetarian” meal turned out to be “vegan.” But, then again, I assume that deli workers aren’t that concerned about getting one meal perfect in their busy days, so if I was that worried about it I’d make my own lunch or at least go to the deli and watch them make my meal.

You do have to make sure, but generally the common cheeses that a deli will use do not have it.** Few cheeses _list_ rennet as an ingredient, but I thought when a label listed “enzymes” as an ingredient (without a qualifier, as in “plant enzymes”), it usually meant rennet.
