ok, i'll admit it. i'm not a very good vegetarian. i don't read the food labels on everything i eat, although i guess i should. so today, i thought, hmmm...i'd like to make some rice crispy treats. not sure why, but i decided to read the ingredients on the marshmallows...bla bla bla gelatin bla bla. shit. maybe i'm a tard, but i didn't know marshmallows had gelatin in them. so i didn't get the marshmallows, and i didn't get my damn rice crispy treats. i guess that means that i can't eat my mom's fudge anymore, and it is the greatest thing ever. argh. what the hell am i gonna eat when i wasnt sweets? lol. all that vegan applesauce muffin bullshit doesn't cut it for me.
er, that's an idea, i guess. but then, they'd probably bury me in a casket that had been varished with something containing gelatin......grrr.
I must admit that I never wondered what gelatin was made out of until now. The dictionary.com definition paints quite a lovely picture.
update: i did a search on google, and found some vegetarian marshmallows. apparently there is only one company that makes em, and they are $4 a bag + shipping. ick.
Wow I'm glad I'm not a vegetarian. It must be hard finding things you can eat that don't break the budget. Happy hunting..err harvesting.
