1. Eggs normally don't have baby chickens in them.
2. Is it really so bad if a vegetarian cheats on their diet? I knew a guy that was a vegetarian for 2 years, ate a burger, and then went back to being a vegetarian.

Don't gorget about all the animal fats in the mix. China plates contain the ground up bones of the animal and then there is boiled up pig bones in the glue on the packet....things can get quite animalistic in everyday objects and products. People forget about all the byproducts of an animal..it is not just meat.

lacto-ovo vegetarians eat dairy and eggs.
vegans on the other hand, do not eat any animal by-productsComment Hidden ( show ) -

Yes, cake mixes are almost all suitable for vegetarians.
Vegetarianism is where people decide to eat everything except animal flesh, or ingredients that are from a part of an animal's body (i.e. gelatine, which is derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones).
Veganism is where people decide not to consume any form of animal ingredient, whether that be animal flesh, milk, eggs, honey etc. Vegans also do not wear clothing made from animals such as leather jackets or wool sweatshirts.
Veganism encompasses vegetarianism, not the other way round.

Veggies have to be really careful to read the small print. In fact, the mixes aren't suitable for vegetarians because the devil's food cake contains E471 and E477, both of which can be sourced from the by-products of soap making (randered animal fats). Vegetarians shouldn't really use soap, for that matter.
It's a minefield out there! What looks safe, often isn't. The best bit about being vegetarian is that you are forced to learn what the food industry is up to. I feel desperately sorry for meat eaters. They'd be horrified!

you should see the list of things that are made from dead cows...
supposedly they're processed enough that they aren't considered "non-vegan" anymore but to me that's BS cos they still came from ... dead cows...
http://discovermagazine.com/2001/aug/featcow
At the bottom is a list of what cows go into...
i.e.
Plywood adhesives, fertilizer, foam fire extinguisher, chemical fixer for dyes synthetic motor oil, Solvent, sweetener, dynamite, cosmetics, liquid soaps, candy, liqueurs, inks, lubricants, antifreeze mixtures, culture nutrients for antibiotics
and that's just a few items from the list
just think... how many times do we use soap, synthetic motor oil, makeup...
all on the backs of cows.
not that i personally care however cos... well i eat cows anyway so why not use the whole animal.
i just don't believe in fooling ourselves about where these other supposedly non-animal products are REALLY coming from

I couldn't agree with you more. If someone says they are a vegetarian, they have to take the responsibility for finding out whether animal products are in their food. Sweets/candy, bread, cheese, medicines, and alcohol are the areas many people don't even consider as containing animal products.
Antifreeze and dynamite were new ones to me! Not anything for me to worry about as I don't drive and don't blow things up, but I think it highlights the problem particularly well.

Yeah, surely that's more of a vegan concern though? I never worried about such things when I was vegetarian.

Well, there's vegetarianism and there's vegetarianism. I'd eat animal fat that came from, say, milk but not fat that came from the animal's body (i.e. pork rind). Simple rule for me is if it causes harm or death to the animal, I don't want to eat it.

Yes, if the mix has no milk ingredients added, you can just use an egg substitute.

Vegetarians are bound to contradict their "beliefs" about food. That's what I think.
