Re: new vegetarian, help please?

Patience! We need more than a few hours. Some of us only get on after a long day at work or school, after all.

Not all saturated fat is animal in origin. Palm and coconut oils, for example, have saturated fats. However, the majority of saturated fat does come from animal sources. So if you do see it in the nutritional info, it's a good idea to check the ingredients to find out its source. Nutritional info will not tell you whether a product is vegetarian or not -- you must learn the meanings of ingredient names and read the ingredients themselves.

Eggs and milk also have saturated fat, so if you're lacto-ovo veg, saturated fat from those products will be acceptable to you.
