Answer 2

I got this from wikipedia.com:

The production of gelatin typically starts with the boiling of cattle bones or pig skins; contrary to popular conception, horns and hooves are not used. This material is then soaked with acid or alkali in large vats to extract and hydrolyze the protein collagen. The extract is then dried and ground to form a powder.

To make gelatin desserts, typically powdered gelatin is mixed with sugar, and additives such as adipic acid, fumaric acid, sodium citrate, and artificial flavorings and food colors. Very hot water is added to swell the powdered gelatin and gel the liquid. The dessert gels slowly as it cools.

Because the collagen is processed extensively, the final product is not categorized as a meat or animal product by the US federal government.


Ick! Last time I'm eating Jello!

Answer 3

Jello is made from Gelatin, which is made from all the by-products you won't find in the MEAT isle, like feathers and beeks and bone and gristle and teeth and hooves and such. It's ground down and 'cooked' and refined til it becomes clear gelatin. And your friend probably knows that and won't eat it for that very reason I won't eat it either.
