It took me so long to type my last post that you guys got in while I was chewing the cud.
I'm not a vegan. I use moderate amounts of hopefully humanely produced eggs and dairy products but I don't wear leather shoes. Those cows did not die of old age!
By animal bi-products I mean the gelatine derived from bones, hooves etc that holds a lot of confectionary items together, cheese made from bovine rennet etc
