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

you're a vegetarian and you just found this out... where were you in elementary school?

collagen + heat = gelatin. tha'ts common knowledge. it's what makes leftover stew get that amazing texture, for example. There are vegetarian alternatives you can eat, though, if you're not retarded and do your research.

Lipstick had fish scales in it. So much for that now.

Seriously? Okay. Now you have to prove this.

According to Wikipedia yes, also pig fat.

If it's from Wikipedia, it must be legit! :P

I don't know why people who are calling those who didn't know gelatin was made from animals idiots. I didn't learn it until I was in my 30's and I generally pwn everyone's ass in trivia games. I don't see why vegetarians think they get extra points for going so many months/years as purists and think they are failures for accidentally consuming products derived from animals. Stop eating Jell-o and your life will cease to be ******. (Unless your boyfriend is sneakily using lambskin condoms ;) )

I didn't know it either, til I read this post! =)

ydi for being a vegetarian... stick to candy and junk food

Since you now know that you eat animal remains, how about eat some real food now?

Being a 'vegitarian' and being a 'vegan' are two different things; I'm neither so it doesn't bother me! LOL

Isn't it usually made from corn starch now?

no, then it would just be called corn starch.
