Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World by Bob Torres
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The appendix is the most interesting and useful part of this book.

I was surprised to learn that most beers go through a finishing process that uses the swim bladders of fish. Who ever thought beer wasn't vegetarian?!! Is your favorite beer vegan? You can find out here: http://www.veganconnection.com/veganb.... Lots of wines include egg parts, dried blood, or pepsin (from pork!), although I have to assume that kosher wines do not. The ickiest is that white sugar is whitened using a bone byproduct from the meat industry. Yuck. Even some major brands of soy cheese contain casein (from milk). Holy moly.
