This article is so backward that it made me laugh out loud! Something I rarely do. This writer hasn’t a clue about what foods contain what ingredients, at least not in this article. It is like kicking dirt in a child’s face. It should have been regarding moving from real gelatin to a substitute and provide facts that explain why. Instead, it appears to be satire. I felt like I was reading an article on The Onion.
I am a physician and come from a family of doctors. We have all been lifelong vegans, myself over 67 years, and have never eaten anything from an animal. That goes for my sibling’s children, wives, etc. There isn’t any need. There are also plenty of vegan gelatin substitutes available. To Jaonne, Google vegan gelatin to find a listing. Some are prepackaged like Jello, but if you want to make something from scratch that calls for gelatin use agar agar. You can find it on Amazon or just about any health food or grocery store.
Gelatin is the nastiest slaughterhouse garbage I have ever seen. It is like the sludge at the bottom of a trash can. Would you eat that? If products containing gelatin were required to include a photograph of what gelatin is made from, the package would still be sitting on the shelf. The fact is that most people are clueless as to what they are eating.
So, for those of you that would like to know what gelatin is made from ‘really,’ have a look here: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/86/09/72/860972676600b4d7a18e0f4c18db5ee5.jpg

Vegetarians, nor vegans would NOT eat gelatin. Not if they were real ones. There are plenty of fake fad vegans and vegetarians out there. They’d be the only group that would even consider it.
However, no real animal lover or true vegetarian/vegan would ever eat anything that came from an animal. No real animal lover would contribute to the suffering of an animal for any reason, period. It is disgraceful and caused by ignorance of the facts. It doesn’t make someone stupid; it just means they are unaware. And that is fine, anyone can learn at any time of their lives. A former 70+year-old patient of mine became a vegan overnight after surviving a heart attack. They began coming to me soon after. I merely provided them with the cold hard facts of what they were facing ahead. That was all the information they needed. They used it to create a new better version of themselves, and now they are in excellent health, lost 52 pounds, cholesterol is perfect, no longer a type 2 diabetic, thyroid levels on par and they no longer take any medications. They no longer require them. They ended up moving across the pond to enjoy the second chance of life they were given.

But, telling someone to branch out into an animal based diet? Why would anyone tell someone to do that? And secondly, why would anyone listen to this jargon. Animal agriculture/animal based foods are the cause of the problem. Cardiovascular disease, thyroid disease, cancer, diabetes, pulmonary, renal failure and No one needs gelatin. The amino acids in gelatin called glycine and proline are found in plant-based foods in high levels. Nothing written here suggests any facts.
See the facts, from the following medical update, and please stop telling people to consume animal ingredients. It is a liability for you. Something I don’t think was considered here.
