Are you a picky eater? I’m personally not the biggest fan of raw onions, sprouts, or raisins, but whatevs.
Picky or not, there are a whole bunch animal-derived ingredients (commonly found in grocery and drugstore products) that are seriously nasty beyond belief/worthy of being picky about. Here are five of the the grossest (and sneakiest) animal ingredients:
I’ve provided this list because I know if someone had clued me into this nastiness many moons ago, I would have been so grateful and probably would have ditched these things long before I had! So, if you’re not down to eat crushed bugs, bee barf and boiled bones and tendons, don’t you think it’s time to go vegan already? 
For a complete list of animal-derived ingredients, click here.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

Castoreum is a derivative of castor and it’s found mostly in vanilla and raspberry flavored foods like ice cream! Gross!

ohhhh yummy! *sarcastic eyeroll*
i think a lot of people would really think twice about what they are eating if they knew what was really in their food.

Being vegan is so nice. I don’t feel like I’m puting a million toxins in my body everyday. My body feels more clean using vegan friendly cosmetics and hygene products.
