Would you still eat gummy sweets (candy) if you knew what they were really made of ?

They contain Gelatin which is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs and fish.

If you are a vegetarian and eat Gummy sweets (candy) then you had better think again.

That's so disgusting. I love candy but chocolates.

I love Gummy bear type sweets but now that I know where gelatin comes from they will never be the same again. It's weird to be eating a nice sweet while thinking that I am sucking on something that comes from the skin and bone of animals.

@Wraithorn: for sure. I'm not a vegetarian but I don't like weird stuff. It's like polony.

@Jay04Sch: I agree, that stuff is like fake meat. Similar in a way to McDonalds burgers. 100% beef does not necessarily mean 100% meat.
