In a world of FDA regulation and GMOs, you never know what the hell is inside your food. A disgusting amount of chemicals and additives go into processed foods. The worst part is, many are LEGALLY allowed to go unlabelled.
In the last few years of cutting out animal products from my diet, I’ve slowly learned about foods that I was still eating that actually weren’t vegetarian! I felt so blindsided and grossed out, so hopefully this can help enlighten you to some very unsafe and disgusting ingredients that are being added to common foods (sometimes without our knowledge!). Whether you are vegetarian or not, these are things you reallllllly don’t want to be consuming…trust me.
Here are some shocking foods that seem safe and meat free, but actually contain animal products! It is super important for vegetarians (or anyone that cares about their health) to know what to look for in their foods. These ones snuck up on me for far too long!
-Marshmallows: contain GELATIN aka animal bones and ligaments
-Veggie Soups: usually based in BEEF and CHICKEN broths
-Refried beans: LARD (or animal fat) is often added for flavour
-Cheese: RENNET, the stomach lining of slaughtered calves, is used for processing
-Red candies and foods: E120, also known as CARMINE, carminic acid or natural red #4, is extracted from the ground-up shell of the female cochineal insect. Cochineal can be found in food coloring, jellies, lollypops, strawberry milk flavoring, strawberry flavored yogurts, and many other red colored foods. Cochineal is also used to color lipsticks, clothing and pill coatings.
-Gummy candies: contain GELATIN and RED DYE
-White sugar: often refined and bleached through charred cattle BONES..yum!
-Yogurt: some brands contain GELATIN and FISH OIL
-Natural vanilla flavor: made from beaver butt juice, called CASTOREUM..use it to mark their territory and its FDA approved to be unlisted..
-Orange Juice: some brands add fish oil (OMEGA 3S) and LANOLIN (sheeps wool ) for vitamin d
-Bananas: sprayed with shellfish derivative to preserve called CHITOSAN
-Bagels and breads: L CYSTEINE- dough conditioner made from goose and duck feathers, and sometimes human hair
-Hard coated candies- SHELLAC from bug juice to make outer coating
-Beer and wine: clarified using ISINGLASS, which is a gelatin from fish bladders; Guiness is one brand to look out for!
-Worcestershire Sauce- ANCHOVIES, check all condiments!
*Capitalized names of ingredients to look out for!
Stay educated and aware blissful beings!
Blessings, Prasiddha

My guru on why it is so important to be vegetarian:
To experience a breakthrough in consciousness, go to innerawakening.org
The best way to eat only vegetarian food is, just go to shop in vegetarian button.
I moved to Thailand 12 months ago, and it’s the easiest place in the world to be vegan, plenty of locally grown fruit and veg, an abundance of vegan restaurants, and happy smiling faces everywhere
Yh but we never killed them there already dead so why waste them
Watch out for pesto. Some contain parmesan.
I knew that an ingredient of vanilla was a sucretion (sorry for the spelling) from a gland NEXT to the anus and I still eat vanilla ice cream
7:36 fish are just swimming vegetables they have no pain sensing nerves and have no emotion
When you said that you were surprised that cheese was not vegan my dick retracted in to my body because it comes from cow milk anyway go cheese heads🧀
Eat the more raw and Organic foods Raw vegan diet is the best I feel. Vitamin B12 get though supplements…
in ukraine sugar is extracted from beet. to filtrate sugar syrup the manufacturer uses LIMESTONE. it took me few hours to look it up… i heard from some russian guy on a tvshow that they use burned bones( bone char or bone charcoal) to filter sugar. b.t.w. after the limestone is outused, it can be used as fertilizer for soil. comment on me if i missed something! please i need to know more about this.
limestone(as filter) is sold in ukraine 9usd per ton. bone char is sold minimum i found 700usd per ton. like and comment.

Liked your video
Thanks a lot again 😊😊
It is very nice of you that you are American but still vegetarian and following Hinduism culture 😄😄😊😊
I am Brahman ( Hindu ) and obviously from India
Ohh , you won't believe that I was eating m and Ms and I was worrying that is this veg or not but l was glad when you said it is veg 😌😌😌😌😌😌
Thanku so much , 😳
The foods you mentioned are pretty obvious apart from banana. Thankfully, in the UK all the foods,which are suitable for vegetarians are labeled as such. Whether it's sweets, butter, cheese, biscuits, stock cubs or bread. Unless, i see the suitable fof vegetarian signs, I will not consume them.
Im a Pescatarian so some of the stuff is ok for me too eat
I am now depressed
Veganism isn't vegan because they use compost to grow the plants that bare the fruit and vegetables. Compost is usually cow and pig or even sheep manure , and some cheap manures comes from human poop. Would you like to eat vegetables that were covered in poop? Would you want people to overfeed cows until they can barely move just for manure!?
Thank you for the information dear
