When you became a vegetarian, you quickly learned it wasn’t just about skipping pepperoni on that pizza. You had to start scanning labels for ingredients like capric acid, tallow, rennet, glycerin, whey, suet, stereate and emulsifiers – because eating animal fat by any other name would be just as carnivorous. What you may not know is that plenty of common foods widely considered to be veg-friendly (or perhaps we should say veg-adjacent) actually contain animal fat, not just dairy fat. That means flesh. Read on to learn more.
Ice Cream
Ice cream is the one comfort food that temporarily heals all wounds. Unfortunately, you may be noshing on Bessie under all that chocolate sauce. Many brands of ice cream contain capric acid, a fatty acid that’s obtained from animal fats. Check the label!
Chocolate
I hate to break it to you – I really do – but that chocolate sauce you pour over your sundaes may not be any better than the ice cream underneath it. Emulsifiers are present in chocolate, which may or may not be derived from animal fat. The problem is that most labels don’t specify the difference, so you’re better off sticking to ones that do.
Cheese
Animal rennet is used in the production of many different kinds of cheese. What is animal rennet, you ask? It’s a coagulating enzyme that’s extracted from a freshly-slaughtered calf’s stomach. But, that doesn’t mean you have to struggle through a life without cheese. Just buy vegetarian cheese instead, which substitutes microbial or fungal enzymes for animal rennet.
Pastries
Have you ever seen a pork tart behind the glass at your local café? You might want to take a closer look. Many pastries are prepared using lard, which is rendered fat from a pig’s abdomen or kidneys. Similar baked goods may also contain capric acid.

I sung this song in my mother language, to pay tribute to people of Gaza and Palestine. Specially when they suffered destruction and loss of innocent lives by the bombardment of Israeli forces.
May God give every one the power of thinking and feeling of care for others. May the Palestinian people get their freedom and every one lives happily in this world. That is my message.
But I also think that self protection is right of anyone and everyone from any kind of oppression.
I do not believe on any kind of oppression, segregation or racism against anyone.
May everyone understand this.

Parachinar (Urdu: پاڑاچنار) [show location on an interactive map] 33°56′N, 70°05′E, altitude: 1,725 m (5,659 ft), is the capital of Kurram Agency, FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) of Pakistan. It is about 290 km west of the capital, Islamabad. It is situated on a neck of Pakistani territory south of Peshawar, that juts into Paktia Province in Afghanistan and is the closest point in Pakistan to Kabul and borders on the Tora Bora region in Afghanistan.
Parachinar originated as a summer residence for nomadic tribes who wintered their livestock at lower altitudes, and the district had originally been a summer residence for Moghul emperors from Delhi. The Parachinar region was part of Afghanistan before the Second Afghan War of 1878-79, but was not firmly annexed by the British due to resistance from local tribes until 1892. During the colonial era between then and 1947 Parachinar became a hill station for people from Peshawar as it is relatively cool in the summer and very easy to reach from the plains despite its high altitude since there are no steep ascents on the route from Peshawar.
Although it was a well-known travel destination in the years before the PDPA came to power, since that time Parachinar has become a hotbed of Islamic terrorism and sectarian violence. The town and its surrounds are believed to be a major staging point for Osama bin Laden and his accomplices during the years when the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were planned.
The population are largely of the Turi tribe of Pashtuns who are mostly Shia Muslims and speak Pashto. About half the population are Shia and half Sunni Muslims.
Talibans or the hardliners are killing Shia Muslims and brutaly murdering them. The main road which connects the Islamabad to Parachinar is blocked by Talibans. Before they have stopped many vehicles and brutally butchered and slaughtered the Shia Muslim drivers.
Government of Pakistan needs to do something about this immediately. International governments and Human rights organizations should send their message to Pakistan officials as well to stop this bloodshed.
Because of its proximity to the border it has been an important staging point for mujahadeen and Taliban fighters entering Afghanistan.
The name of this region is Parachinar as there was a big tree of Chinar (Maple tree) in the headquarters of Kurram Agency. In Kurram Agency there is a famous tribe known as "Parikhel " this tribe used to get together under this Chinar tree to resolve their social matters. This is why this region is called Parachinar.
On February 16, 2008, a bomb in Parachinar killed 37 members of the Pakistan People's Party after they returned to party headquarters from a rally. There have been numerous other bombings in recent years due to the conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims.Parachinar (Urdu: پاڑاچنار) [show location on an interactive map]... more
