Day Fourteen - Happy Love Day!

Check out the center chocolate...I want.

Behold! The day of love! I hope everyone enjoyed the opportunity to think of all the love they have in their life and how they can give it back to the world.....haha, just kidding. We all know what Valentines Day is really about. No, not romance. No, not flowers either. It's about the candy, yo! This makes things tricky for vegans though. Lots of chocolates have milk. Lots of candies have gelatin. So what is a love loving vegan to do? Don't you fret little animal lover, there are lots of sweets for you, sweet!

So there are some things to watch out for. Those sneeky animal by product you might find in your candy. Gross:
Casein—Whey’s cousin
Gelatin—Made from animal bones
Lard—While this word sounds funny and makes me giggle, pig fat is no joke....lard...heehee.
Pepsin—Lard's neighbor in Pigville.
Rennet—An enzyme from cows.
Stearic Acid—Basically Lard, but from all different animals.
Cetyl Palmitate—This ones from whales and dolphins. Watch out or Shamu will get you!
Urea—It’s used to "brown" baked goods, like pretzels. Can you guess what it's made of? Yep, you got it...that first one that popped in your mind. For real.
So on THAT note. Have a great Valentines Day! May it be full of candy and not urea.
