    I learned jello is made from crushed bones
  • Eww.. that is just gross! I read somewhere about the ingredients in those maraschino cherries and refuse to eat them anymore. I used to put like 3 spoon fulls on a bowl of ice cream, but not anymore. Of course it helps that I don't eat ice cream anymore lol, but it was still gross to read.

    Thanks for the post. Though I'll never be a vegetarian... I'll def watch for this nasty stuff. I'm just glad I already don't like/eat most of what was on that list.
  • There are certain things on that list that bother me, but others that don't. I'm more afraid of something created in a lab than I am of the oil from a sheeps skin or bugs. People all over the world eat bugs as great sources of protein. Now I don't want to crunch down on a cockraoch, but it doesn't bother me if they're used crushed up in something I eat. I'd rather they use all parts of an animal in some manner than just throw it away.
