I've been finding it really easy to cut out meat, but feel like i'm being decieved by all the little additives and stuff that contain animal. I dont know what i should be keeping an eye out for. Does anyone know of a good site listing them?
i had the same problem when i first went veg...hope this helps griggsy :)

Honestly love, if I were you, I would worry more about cutting dairy and eggs out of your diet than worrying about miniscule amounts of animal additives. Dairy and eggs cause far more direct and large-scale suffering. Maybe start drinking soymilk instead of cow's milk, and keep going from there? Remember, it's not about being perfect, it's about limiting the suffering! I would say probably the only major non-obvious meat concern is gelatin, which is in a lot of chewy candies and such, and is made from boiled hides (don't know if you know this already). Other than that, work on cutting out dairy and eggs! Good job, I'm so proud of you! :) PM me any time with questions!

Thanks for those web sites. I'm sure they'll be a lot of help.
Ceilingofstars: thanks for your advice. I've only been veggie for a few months now and have been trying over the last week to go vegan. Although i've found it harder to cut out cheese than i did meat, its going quite well. I agree that cutting out eggs and dairy is more important than worrying about the little things that are hardly there.
