Today, I was eating Jell-O and was reading a fact website, when I read that gelatin is made from the collagen in cow or pig bones. I'm vegetarian. FML

I'm guessing you haven't been a vegetarian too long. Any respectable vegetarian knows gelatin is made from animals. YDI

Yea also red skittles, red jello, red starburst and everything else dyed red with red 40 food coloring have crushed bugs. I don't know if that's a vegetarian.. just wait till op figures that out. lol

Nope I'm positive it's red 40, I even just double checked. I'm not really sure what red 4 is.

419, the Natural Red 4 food colouring (Carmine) is obtained by the carminic acid produced by some insects. Red 40 or Allura Red AC, is made from petroleum, so I'm pretty sure 183 is right.

Perhaps you guys are right, but it's hard to tell. About half the sources on the Internet say it's 40, and about half say it's 4 and that 40 is just a derivative from coal. That being said, my point was that OP is likely eating other things that contain animal products, if they consider beetles to be an animal.

if you're that concerned with what you eat you should do research before you eat it. While the gelatin fact may not be the most widely known, it isn't obscure. YDI for being a half ass vegetarian.

I was eating a hamburger when I figured out that it had lettuce in it!!! I'm just about the furthest thing from a vegetarian you could be. FML

Take... the lettuce... off? Not all burgers have lettuce, and it doesn't make it any less of a burger without the lettuce...
