The Vegetarian Society is extremely disappointed!!

On the homepage of the Vegetarian society (http://www.vegsoc.org/) there is a link to another page where the Vegetarian society mentions that they are disappointed at the decision of Mars to make their chocolates unsuitable for vegetarians. The exact text is:

"MARS PRODUCTS NOT VEGGIE

The Vegetarian Society is extremely disappointed to learn that Mars favourites such as Mars, Milky Way, Bounty, Snickers, Galaxy, Twix and Maltesers are now all unsuitable for vegetarians. At a time when more and more consumers are concerned about the provenance of their food, Masterfoods’ decision to use non-vegetarian whey is a backward step. Mars products are very popular with young people and many will be shocked to discover that their manufacture now relies on the extraction of rennet from the stomach lining of young calves.

Please contact Masterfoods Customer Services on 0845 045 0042 to express your concern."

Please note that I have a free phone number hanging around that you can phone Masterfoods on - in fact it is on the letter scans. Will paste that up here once I get a sec.
