2. I haven't had marshmallows in years, but how can they not be vegan? What's in them?

Thought they were made of the root of the marshmallow plant and sugar...

And I agree about not getting on anyone about their body - after all, it is their body - and not ours - that is suffering. I think most weight is due to undigestible food stuff. And I know people who are overweight because the medications they are on clogs their livers or acts as steroid and they get big. It's a sad thing to watch.
