Any alternatives to Altoids?
I have always loved eating Altoids. I love how they taste and how strong they are but they contain beef gelatin and since I am moving towards being a veggie, I am faced with the fact I cannot use them anymore. Is there a Vegetarian alternative to Altoids that is just as strong and without fat from a cow?


Thanks!


John

Also if you have a Whole Foods near you, there brand is Vegan.

I was upset when I found out about Altoids! I have started looking at things a little more closely. PopTarts aren't vegan!! :shrug: http://www.jour.unr.edu/outpost/Dining/archives/din.rasmu.veggie.html

2. I will have to look at the ingredients to Pop Tarts but...
I am not going Vegan. There is an alternative to Kellogg's Pop Tarts called Nature's Path Organic Toaster Pastries. Not too sure if that's any help conisdering you are Vegan but they are very good.

3. Pop Tarts
aren't vegetarian either. I think the unfrosted might be, but the frosted ones have gelatin in them.

4. Gelatin is in EVERYTHING!!! It's so frustrating!!
And you just know they could find alternatives to it that don't harm animals, with minimal effort.
