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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found a bone in my sandwich. It was a veggie burger. FML
Today, I was eating Campbell's vegetable soup. Halfway through, I started to read the ingredients and found beef broth. I have been a vegetarian for seven years. FML
Today, I found out that the so-called vegetarian soy sauce my mom has made for me several times has minced meat in it. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to meat?" FML
Today, after having been a vegetarian for 8 years because I'm opposed to cruelty to animals, I lost a bet and had to eat a whole cheeseburger. I loved it. FML
Today, I got a letter back from the family I will be staying with as a part of an exchange program. Apparently they own a slaughterhouse type farm, and I'm expected to kill one of their animals and eat it as a gift from the family. I'm a vegan. FML
Today, I had a food allergy test done because of an ugly acne upswing, and after over a year of vegetarianism, I find out that I'm allergic to soy. FML

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

how did you not know that??? ive been a vegetarian for 8 years, and havent touched the stuff.. its also in altoids, starbursts, skittles etc. but they do make vegetarian jello which is good stuff. i think ill have some now :)

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

they stopped making skittles with gelatin! they switched it out for pectin :D

also, its red 4 that is the bug one (also known as carmine and cochineal. its also in some shampoos). not red 40.
tencentsakiss 19
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.
tencentsakiss 19
No, it's pretty much widely known.

Everyone knows that.

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...
