Many vegetarians (not all, of course, us vegetarians being a very diverse bunch--but a significant proportion) take it seriously enough to pay attention to hidden ingredients such as gelatine, and may appreciate/welcome being informed of ingredients they previously weren't aware of.<br /><br />Of course, other vegetarians may feel differently about being informed or may simply draw the line in a different place from other vegetarians regarding what exact ingredients they avoid. So I would personally probably hesitate to point out these hidden ingredients unless I know the person well enough to know how they would feel about it. Or else might try to frame it very tactfully. But even so, I didn't feel there was anything wrong with that comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-91434182375723432942012-09-13T10:26:07.370-04:002012-09-13T10:26:07.370-04:00I took unknown's comment about the ingredients...I took unknown's comment about the ingredients of the candy as trying to be helpful and infomative not as being mean-spirited.

Probably a throw back from the days of "teddy" or such. Just look at the use of dolls and puppets in therapy. It is often easier to talk to something verses someone that has a possiblity of judgement attached. And goodness - they are such good listeners!! :-)<br /><br />Further, look at the popularity of ventriloquists (spelling). Those shows with Jeff Dunham (?) are hilarious and attended by and intended for adults. It always amazes me how quickly our inner child identifies with these characters - and the laughter that ensues.<br /><br />So bring on the gummy bears - veggy or not - and bring on the smiles.<br /><br />(I'm sure it meant a lot that uncle Dave entered into Ruby's world.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-84085471545092567232012-09-12T16:39:04.867-04:002012-09-12T16:39:04.867-04:00Unknown, I wondered if anyone would catch that fac...Unknown, I wondered if anyone would catch that fact ... here's my supplier http://store.veganessentials.com/organic-vegan-gummi-bears-by-edward--sons-p954.aspxDave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-21396946742915765842012-09-12T16:28:07.262-04:002012-09-12T16:28:07.262-04:00Most gummy bears are not vegetarian (because they ...Most gummy bears are not vegetarian (because they contain gelatin that is not vegetarian).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007438536672893141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-36803928004825939452012-09-12T12:42:26.008-04:002012-09-12T12:42:26.008-04:00Faery ... aww, you SCOFFED them?!!

They each have their own personality and they help me figure things out (when they're not helping me with pain as heat pads).<br /><br />I take both of them out with me, riding on my lap in my wheelchair. Penguin has been with me for exams and operations (Penelope is newer). I decided a while ago not to waste energy trying to appear normal (I'm autistic and also have severe M.E.) so since they help me deal with stuff I'm not bothered how it makes me look. Up to now nearly all reactions have been extremely positive anyway, as people use them to start a conversation with me :-) Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02199979276958208379noreply@blogger.com
