I know some of my flist are vegetarian and love their chocolate, so just in case you haven't seen this:
Mars starts using animal products
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6653175.stm
"Some of the UK's best-selling chocolate bars, such as Mars and Twix, will no longer be suitable for vegetarians.

Also affecting brands such as Snickers and Maltesers, owner Masterfoods said it had started to use animal product rennet to make its chocolate products. "

Mars products originally went onto my 'do not buy' list when I found out that they, like so many others, used geneticlaly engineered ingredients. This is just one more reason to keep them there. Thanks for the update, hon.

Hey, 13 more days!!! :)

13 days?! Yay! I'll be sure to give my car a special clean up. Any requests for music? ;-)

As long as it's not opera or jazz, I'm good. :)

Ankh, I could be wrong about this (I was half asleep at the time) but I think I heard on the radio this morning that Mars has backed down on plans to start using animal products after receiving so many complaints.
A triumph of good sense (or more likely the thought of losing zillions in sales).

Good! It was an idiotic decision so I'm happy to hear they've backed down. :-)
