The new five pound note in the U.k. is made
with fat, specifically with tallow (a substance derived from fat and used in
candles and soaps).
After this decision, by The Bank of England,
vegetarians and vegans are rising their
voices over this outrageous choice.
The company that makes the banknotes, Innovia, said
that this substance gives to the notes properties, that they are necessary.
Some of them are: anti-static and anti-slip properties. The company denotes
that many products contain tallow.
My point of view also is this product is
recyclable, and it´s one mark to consider. Thus it´s possible to decrease oil
by-products, that always are very contaminated.
On the other hand, the attitude of vegans and
vegetarians are respectable. Their choice is a way of life, and nobody change
their values.
What do you think?
