Answer 2

Gelatin (also gelatine, from French gélatine) is a translucent brittle solid substance, colorless or slightly yellow, nearly tasteless and odorless, which is created by prolonged boiling of connective tissue such as skin, cartilage, and bones obtained from the animal processing industry. It has been commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen. Gelatin is also known as E number

Answer 3

Gealtin IS indeed produced from the connective tissues found on veal bones and other portions of otherwise unusable trim from the butchering process. It is a natural product, it may sound gross to a few people, but it's really nothing to worry about. Agar agar is made from seaweeds and other plant matter. So either way is fine, you may consume plant ot animal.

I think part of the reason why this doesn't sound appealing to some of the people who answered is because as a society, we have forgotten where our food actually comes from.... animals and plants.
