Just to add to the addition of Smt.Jayshree Narasimhan,
Kosher or Halal does not mean Vegetarian. Kosher or Halal is a Jewish or 
Islamic sanctified way of food(PrasAdham in their sense), which is deemed fit 
for consumption. Kosher Gelatin could very well be from Beef. Same with Cheese 
cultures saying microbial rennet, it could very well be microbes grown on meat, 
if not intestines of cows(rennet). If someone is fond of Cheese, speciality 
stores like Wholefoods carry Cheese made with Vegetable enzymes instead of meat 
grown cultures/microbes. Another Sri Vaishnava in Singapore recently discovered 
that the browning in some bakery products is achieved with some coating of 
animal products. Same with many Tacos flavoured with Lard in US for taste 
enhancement. Same with MSG, Ajimoto stuff. Bone products used in tooth-paste 
and even in seemingly innocent refined sugar we are so fond of. The list is 
endless. 

THE SOLUTION - As Sri.Jai Simman and Sri.Hari outlined, we should look for our 
traditional recourse, ie. following the Parama Vaidika Matham and the abundance 
of literature that it provides us(through Acharya Granthas like Aahaara 
Niyamanam of Swami Desikan). Even while accepting this material life, we should 
try to make a sincere effort to find traditional alternatives.

AdiyEn noticed quite a lot of threads on this topic, AdiyEn would pray that we 
avoid digressing into "Vegetarianism defined in the western sense ..Ahimsaa, 
silk sarees et al", and keep to the main topic on McDonalds, if at all there is 
something more to discuss on a related thread.

AdiyEn Sri Ramanuja Dasan,

Sudarsana Dasosmi
