Do you eat Skittles or Starbursts? If so, does it bother you that they are made with gelatin that comes from animal bones? Do you eat Jell-O? What about the drinks that are colored with beatles?

No Skittles, Starbursts, Gummy *anything* for me, thanks. If I get a desire for marshmallows I send off for Vegan Sweets. No Jell-O either & I'd rather not drink beatle juice.
It *is* annoying & inconvenient that gelatine & carmine are in so many products where they serve no apparent function. Even if they did have a function, there are animal-free alternatives. Actually, it strikes me as rather macabre that these things are in candy.

I don't eat Skittles, Starburst or Jello, or anything with gelatin.
I don't know about the drinks colored with John, Paul, George and Ringo, but I also avoid drinks that are known to contain cochineal (also called carmine) which is made from a beetle (not a Beatle, or at least I hope not).
Sorry about teasing you, but I'm a baby boomer and I can't help it.

I don't eat anything with gelatin in it. I used to love skittles, but there are plenty of other things to eat and candy is empty calories anyway.

You are correct and this is why I do not eat these foods. Hope you are not for the gelatin is not only animal products but come mostly from pork which is unclean to begin with.

No vegan person would eat either unless they were imported versions that contained no gelatin.

i do no longer be attentive to, I used to pay attention quite a few issues which have been particularly ignorant or stupid, yet i won't be in a position to think of of something that made me indignant. each and every so often it made me snigger, nevertheless. "you do no longer consume meat? no longer even bologna?" "pass forward and consume it. It won't kill you." (from the comparable guy who stated the 1st one) "My daughter was a vegetarian, yet she gave it up as a results of fact she went on a tenting trip and have been given hepatitis from eating undesirable water." (I in no way did be attentive to how being vegetarian had something to do with getting hepatitis from "undesirable water.") "i presumed vegetarians have been skinny." (i'm getting that one plenty.) "you would be anemic, and your muscle mass will atrophy." (my mom stated that, she grew to become right into a nurse) "Who do you think of you're? Gandhi?" (additionally my mom) I artwork in scientific archives and one time a physician wrote "vegetarian weight loss plan" on a affected person's prognosis record as though it grew to become right into a affliction. Vegetarianism isn't recognised as an ailment by means of international well being company, AMA or the different expert well being care company.
