Summary: Detinately a book to pick up
Review: An excellent and very informative resource for any vegan, vegetarian or anyone who's concerned about what exactly it is you're actually eating.I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian myself and I was surprised at how many things they sneakily put into our food. I was aware of some of the more obvious things (renet, gelatin, etc.), but still stunned at things I would have never thought could contain animal products - such as beer, wine, some waxes used to polish fruits to make them look more fresh - it's astounding! The only contention I have with this book is that it focuses mainly on American products, being written in the States it makes sense, but for a future edition I would love to see more Canadian and maybe European products added to the book. Extremely well researched, using a variety of sources (which can be found at the end of the book) - definately a book to pick up.

Summary: SHOCKING TRUTH!!!
Review: Being a vegetarian for nine years I thought I knew what ingredients to look for. This book was a shocking truth to exactly what I didn't know what was in my food. The shocking truth about what gelatin is...... you wouldn't think pudding, gummy bears, and other sweet items contain this hidden ingredient. Gelatin is protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, or bones with water from cattle and hogs. This word defined along with many other words that comes from animals are in this book.
I loved how the book is layed out in a guidelined setting. IF you
wonder like I did about what your eating vegetarian or not this book is a great book to have.

Summary: Everything you ever wanted to know about animal ingredients
Review: I personally think this is a great book for beginning vegans or anyone who is concerned with products having animal ingredients in them. It covers a wide variety of topics - everything from common myths, to nutrition, to the names of animal ingredients and what they are. The book is set up in a way that's easy to read. You could use it as a reference guide to let you know if a certian product contains animal ingredients, but my personal favorite chapter is the one on nutrition. Many new vegans have concerns about what vitamins they need and where to get them from. This book explains it all. I give it two thumbs up. I highly recommend everyone buy and read it several times. It's a very nice addition to any book collection. --Reviewed by Melissa White

Summary: Every home should have this book
Review: This is a book for anyone who is concerned about the source of what they eat, wear, or use. IÕm thankful for the revised edition. Fortunately, manufactures are getting ÒhipÓ to the fact that there are millions of people around the world who want to know the many sources of products like stearic acid and diazolidinyl urea (both available from either synthetic or non-animal sources). If you are sensitive and/or allergic to anything - this book is for you. If you are vegan or a vegetarian - this book is for you.

Summary: great resource
Review: This is a great book for vegans new and old. Very good information to help you eliminate all animal derived ingredients (if that is your choice) or to distinguish between animal and veggie ingredients. I found this book indispensable as a new vegan and miss it now (i gave it to a new vegan and she never gave it back *grin*). Now that it's available again I'll be purchasing a new copy!

Summary: A Great Book For Vegetarians, Vegans, Or Anyone Else!
Review: This is a really great book for anyone who never knew gelatin contained animal parts in it or that lanolin contained sheep guts. The book simply tells it like it is, without nagging about the torture of animals in factory farms, and how it's not moral to eat animal parts, blah blah blah!!! I mean, if we are reading this book, we probably know the horrible torture of these animals in factory farms, and don't need to be nagged anymore. Well, anyway, I give this book five big, meaningful stars!!!
