Bet you didn't know these things were made from animals!

As if it isn't enough that you to have to read the ingredients to find hidden animal by-products like lard and gelatin, here's a list of everyday items that surprisingly could contain animals...

1. 1. Toothpaste (eeewww meat toothpaste)
2. 2. Tires on cars or bikes (may contain stearic acid)
3. 3. Stuff made with wood like furniture or wooden musical instruments because they are glued together with animal based glue.
4. Biofuels (there's actually chicken and beef biodiesel)
5. Fireworks (stearic acid again)
6. Fabric softener (tallow is the culprit here)
7. Shampoo and conditioner (wtf!)
8. Plastic bags (again...wtf?)

Add to this list sugar which I previously blogged about and wine (blogged about in Is your wine vegetarian? )
