    Poor Veggies. :(

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1774

    Mars Bars, and Snickers, and Galaxy, and Twix, and other nice stuff is now made from animals. Dead ones. And you veggies don't like that.

    So have you all had your last Mars bars?

    Mmmmmmmm... Maltesers...

    Not wanting to be one to upset you, but almost ALL businesses primary goal is profit

    So veggies are going to boycott them? Thats a minority of people in business terms.
    They have obviously worked out that they will gain more profit by switching to the cheaper alternative and loosing the custom from veggies.

    Business wise, its a sound decision.

    I know that's true and fair enough. I don't plan to boycott them in a "HA! You'll lose money now!" way, just that I think it's a silly move because it means I can't eat them anymore

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    That means all these things aren't kosher, damn, I'm sticking purely to Cadburys and Yorkie now so they've lost my business. It should also be noted that these are now not suitable for people who keep a Halal diet.

    I don't have anything against companies changing stuff like this as long as the public is made well aware. I think they are a tad stupid because they can lose a lot of customers.

    I stopped eating chocolates anyway. Though now I have no reason to start.
    I'd rather have my food without dog intestines (or whatever the latest meat is) in.
