    They might give a damn if they loose a lot of sales, I dont want to hurt the company or put people out of work, I do however think it is a stupid decision particularly as being Veggie is getting very common.

    Lets hope they change there minds ;)

    i'm afraid there are a lot of veggies that DO eat fish.

    i dont quite understand the loophole they claim myself but it happens
    Jane: I'm an emotional vegetarian. I know a lot of vegetarians and we tend to like the same films

    they are not vegetarians just a bit confused

    Can't these veggies just go and eat some cauliflower cheese or something instead?

    So it effects Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Vegetarians and Vegans.

    Its no great loss to find that a sugar driven fatty favourite like Mars, Snickers etc are going to cheaper lengths to maximise profits. Those sweets are quite bad for people anyway.

    Dont forget most of the chocolate bars were first tested on Animals before being allowed to be consumed by the public. MARS used to rub thier chocolates onto chimps teeths continuously to see how long it would take for teeth to rot away.
