Can vegetarians eat Scallop Shell Powder?

Question

Can vegetarians eat Scallop Shell Powder?

I know vegetarians can't eat meat, but can they eat scallop shell?

Or pearl powder?

Answer 1

you CAN eat anything

it's up to you.

you CAN eat a rack of ribs if you want to, but you wouldn't be veggie anymore.

i wouldn't

Answer 2

If they want to. Unless you refuse to eat animal products for religious/ethical reasons or on principle. It's not a living animal that has been killed for food. More like chewing ground up old fingernail clippings. (Now you really want some!)

Answer 3

well, some poor scallop got kicked out of his house and is probably dead now, just so that someone can eat scallop shell powder, so you decide

also, I'm no expert on nutrition but I do know a few things, and as far as all I have learned in school, there is nothing in a scallop shell that you can't get from another source, and if it's calcium your looking for, there are healthier ways of getting it anyways

Answer 4

Not if they wish to be considered vegetarian.
