Gelatin Used To Make Gummy Vitamins, Deserts, Candy, Cannabis, etc.

Gelatin is not vegan, but it is remarkably disgusting. Nothing appears more innocuous looking. In fact, it’s often a key ingredient of brightly colored desserts and candies. But gelatin’s actual production methods are incredibly disturbing. Gelatin comes from the skins, connective tissues, and bones of cattle and pigs.

It’s long-past time for food companies to stop using gelatin as an ingredient. I don’t eat meat, but I acknowledge that you can make a case for eating it. What you can’t make a case for is eating gelatin, ever. It’s quivering, disgusting, unnecessary, and nutritionally of no value. Food companies should purge their products of it. So when you see gelatin on a product’s ingredient list, why not contact the company and ask they seek an alternative?

Despite its revolting production methods and unfoodlike texture, people actually eat the stuff. It’s a main ingredient in Jello-brand desserts, and also most marshmallows and gummy candies. Vitamin and medicine capsules usually contain gelatin.
