is that a hair in your bread?!?! you know, us vegans can be pretty anal about our food intake. i'm usually not too terribly worried about trace elements of animal-based ingredients, if other options are not available.
the following research, however, makes me sick to my stomach on so many levels: What is cysteine/cystine? Also known as l-cystine, our research indicates that the source of cysteine is human hair. Cystine is an amino acid needed by humans, which can be produced by the human body. A very small quantity is used in less than 5% of all bread products. Often the hair of third world women is used. 
we should really think about the food we eat.  | |

for those who are still consuming beetle juice... What is cochineal (carmine)? Some red dyes are made from the cochineal beetle. These are usually labeled as cochineal, carmine, or carminic acid.  | |

[Edited 2/28/06 16:14pm] can vegetarians eat mouse droppings? There is an allowable amount of mouse droppings (not sure of the percentage) in things like breakfast cereals, since it is impossible to keep the mice out. | |
