Is peanut vegetarian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In botanical terms it is considered a legume, which is a fruit. In culinary terms it is considered to be a plant cultivated for an edible part, therefore a vegetable.

Botanically speaking, it is a fruit, since the seeds are contained within a pod, even though that pod develops underground. Peanuts are somewhat unique within the legume family due to their geocarpy (fruit develops underground).
a peanut is a vegetable cause of the way it grows and what not, but to everyone who's saying its just a nut or its a fruit your wrong!

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whatever your feelings about the PETA organization might be, they have a pretty comprehensive list of candies that are okay to eat, and the ingredients to look for that are not. See the related link below.

Vegetarians do not eat candy with gelatin, glycerin, or insect derived colors, such as carmine.

Are Cadbury creme eggs suitable for vegetarians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You'll need to find out whether the person to be eating the creme eggs can eat dairy food, in case that's included in the ingredients. Check the label, which should list all the ingredients. If you're still in doubt you'll need to check with Cadbury; you can email them with queries from their website.

Is Terry's chocolate orange vegetarian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes.

There's a rennet contamination risk due to the milk powder, or the actual presence of rennet in the milk powder, used, so Terrys All Gold is not suitable for vegans, but vegetarians may eat it.

Regular eaters = meat/animal products/fruits/vegetables/etc

Vegetarians = animal products/fruits/vegetables/etc

Vegans = fruits/vegetables/etc (nuts, grains, sugar, just nothing from something with a face.)

What foods are considered as healthy foods and why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Good fruits and vegetables. Don't eat too many yolks it's not very good for you.

You should eat protein everyday, but it does not have to be meat it can be cheese or milk or beans. Carbs are hard to burn off so not so many of those either

Just get a good amount of vegetables, fruit, protein, carbs and a dessert every once in a while

What could happen if you don't eat meat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

God gave us eye-teeth for a reason. And it is also stated several dozen times in the Bible, as well as other religious texts - meat is intended to be eaten. If you want to be absolutely sure you are not making any of the gods, or the Lord angry - eat lamb. Lamb is the only meat that is not "banned" by any recognized religion.

Lack of protein and fiber leads to anemia, weak tissue and lowered immune-system response. If you are female, you are at greater risk of iron deficiencey.

I do not have the complete answer, but I want to say that the answer above has no validity. How can you say that since the Bible and Pink Floyd tells you to eat meat it must be good for you?

You can get protein from legumes, beans, salmon (if you don't mind eating fish), yogurt, quinoa, nuts, and several other sources. Same goes for iron. There are plenty of things you can eat to supplement the iron you'd otherwise be getting from a dead cow or chicken. And as for immune-system, take echinacea, excersize, eat healthy vegetarian foods. The above is only true if you live off a McDonald's french fry vegetarian diet.

As far as personal side effects go since I stopped eating meat, I lost 10 pounds, I feel great, I don't have to watch what I eat as much, and did I mention I feel awesome? Oh and I haven't got sick once since I stopped eating it which was over a year ago!

People who don't eat meat can, have and very well might obtain: sight problems, skin problems, blood diseases, mouth diseases, ulcers, fatigue is a big one, memory loss, depression (also a big one), rickets, osteomalacia, poor hair health, Osteoporosis, other bone problems (another big one), intestinal disorders and "easily offended" attitudes. Also from the related link below, it states that: "In an even more comprehensive British study involving nearly 8,000 subjects, a Cambridge University professor now says that children born to vegetarian mothers are up to five times more likely to be born with 'deformities' and other birth defects". The scientist leading the research told a Europe Intelligence Wire reporter that "there is a clear association between child deformities and vegetarianism, and this is a cause for concern."" If that doesn't spark some kind of concern for people especially women who neglect meat in their diet, I think you need a heart. Or some kids. Also, look at those teeth you have. Those pointy ones, yeah, incisors, those are there for a reason, why would you have them if we weren't MEANT to eat meat.

Are brownies suitable for vegetarians and why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically vegetarians do not eat the flesh of other animals and brownies do not contain animal flesh, so they are considered vegetarians. However, most commercial brownies contain butter and eggs. Many vegetarians do not consider dairy to be a healthy food group. As no other animal drinks another animals milk, or drinks milk past childhood, it would appear that cow or goat milk would not be an ideal food for a human adult. Fresh fruits and vegetables are significantly more nutrient dense than brownies. Also, nutritional research shows a link between consumption of animal protein and cancer and correlations between meat consumption and obesity and cardiovascular disease. While some vegetarians may indulge in brownies, those more health conscious would not consider brownies to be a regular part of a health plant based diet.

Why do some people think eating meat is cruel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This question is asking primarily for opinion, not fact. There are many opinions and beliefs about eating meat that range from those that say yes (primarily from vegans and animal-rights activists) to those who strongly believe that it is not cruel but a part of life.


Opinion from an Omnivore:

No. Unlike what the answerer below mentioned, much of the meat that is produced comes from animals that have been cared for and treated as humanely as possible before being slaughtered for meat. The processes described below are not chronic pain issues, but practices that make it safer for those handling them and the other animals around them due to their confinement. Many of them are not raised so that they recieve "massive doses of hormones and antibiotics," quite frankly a lot of the animals raised so that they need such things are not given such products only if it's needed, which makes the integrity of the fact below questionable at best. Also, many animals that are raised for meat are not raised in "factory farm" conditions, but are raised as "free-range" or in as natural conditions as a farm can provide, with the best health care, feed and housing that can be made available and that those animals need.


A basis of understanding of how animals truly judge how their living conditions affect their quality of life cannot go to a shallow human mindset. Many animals that are raised in cages or stalls know that's the best and safest place to live, because they have no idea what life is like outside of that and quite frankly are scared when subject to such a drastic change. A person can call such confined living conditions whatever they want, but it does not provide an answer as to what's really going through an animal's head as it lives in such conditions. That is not to say that truly terrible living conditions are adequate, it's just to say that confined animal feeding operations have their place no matter what agenda those groups that oppose such operations have for such operations.


Another Opinion:Yes.Approximately 58 billion land animals are killed each year on farms. Most of these animals are raised in extremely confiningconditions, including battery cages, gestation crates and veal crates, in order to maximize profit.Animals in these confined conditions receive massive doses of hormones and antibiotics, and they undergo cruel debeaking tail docking, and castration, without anesthesia. The animals spend their entire lives in these miserable conditions until they are slaughtered at just a fraction of their natural lifespan.


Where can you buy vegetarian gelatine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gelatins are a form of collagen which is completely natural and entirely protein - 100% fat free. It provides all 8 of the essential amino acids required by your body to repair itself and grow.

It belongs to the family of hydrocolloids, such as guar gum and xanthan gum which are plant or sugar-derived. When added to food, gelatin and other hydrocolloids make it thicker. Depending on how much is added, a jelly/jello can be formed too.

There are several ways of getting gelatin, the most common is from treating pig skin with acid, but you can also get gelatin from pig bones. For kosher and halal gelatin, cow hide and bones can be treated with alkali, or fish and chicken skin and bones can undergo the same processes.

You don't have to boil up the cow yourself, though - you can usually buy it in supermarkets!

This is a tough question, not all meats are bad, you should check if it has any preservatives that are bad to the human body such as MSG and nitrite. If it does you could be eating really bad meat. If it has no preservatives then meat is pretty good.

Are eggs a meat or a dairy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

AnswerEggs are often confused as both a form of dairy and of meat, but in reality, they are neither.

Because eggs are an animal byproduct, just like milk, many people catagorize eggs as dairy. However, dairy is very specifically designated as the byproduct of the mammary glands of mammals like cows or goats. Essentially dairy is any milk or milk-made product, such as butter or ice-cream.

However, eggs are not meat either. Eggs are the fetal form of a mature animal, and are considered their own entity in and of themselves, than meat. Eggs are eggs and meat is meat.

~improved~

The answer above is both right and wrong. I'm sure the asker was wanting a food group, and eggs are not a food group. They are protein, the food group with meat IN it. But everything else is correct
