Ah well. Worth a shot I spose.
Interestingly though; it must be quite difficult for Vegans, what with all the products made from animal bits, like gelatine, leather and other things.
Also, I was surprised that a Muslim woman was telling her kid in a supermarket that he coon’t have any Haribo sweets because they’re ‘Haram’. I asked her why, genuinely interested, and she explained they are made using gelatine, which because of the low cost of production, is probably pork gelatine. The animals used probbly won’t have been slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines either. She said she’d also heard of Jewish people not buying them as they’re also not Kosher of course. I come from a Muslim family, but I’d not heard of this. I spose lots of people just don’t know what’s in the products they eat and use.
So I spose it can be a bit problematic at times, if you have certain religious or lifestyle choices which limit the stuff you can buy and use. Stuff most of us take for granted.
(She did quietly tell me it’s a bloody good way of stopping her kids eating too many sweets as well. 😉 )
