I feel nauseated (Nutella contains meat)

Filed under: Here there be blogs... — Aridd @ 20:21:06

I've just found out (my sister's just informed me) that Nutella contains a meat product - namely, extracts of young sheep's stomach linings (I feel sick just typing this). My reaction was extreme physical discomfort, which I'm still feeling now. A sort of ache throughout my limbs, discomfort caused by whatever I touch, slight nausea...

Anger, too. What the **** did they need to do that for? In a way I feel physically violated. It is a violation of my body and my ethics.

In France, products are never labelled as vegetarian, which means I systematically have to read the ingredients on everything I eat. But when the ingredients are not explained, what the hell am I supposed to do?

It'll be jam for breakfast from now on. (I checked a long time ago that the jam I eat contains fruit pectine, not gelatine (cows' spinal extracts) as a gelifying agent.) But it's going to take me a while to get over this deeply physical discomfort and disgust.

  1. Young cows, sorry, not young sheep. I read it in French, and mistranslated the animal. Not that it changes anything...
