I can understand that, I always wonder why people who don't eat cow wear leather etc. I eat fish because there is a vast difference between fish and a cow, horse pig or sheep. Kind of similar to why I don't stess out if I accidently step on a insect. Plus eating fish is very good for you. Thats my own personal morals, Obviously a veggie will do one better than me and not eat fish, and a vegan will do one better than them and not eat any animal by products.

I don't wear fur or leather. My aunt brought a bag of clothes a few months ago and she took out a jacket that was 100% leather. I told her I couldn't wear it, it feels weird. I dunno, maybe that's just stupid? But I just can't

I have my grandmothers old fur coats. I wore one once to a wedding in winter. I mean it's either wear it out or put it a landfill, which isn't good for the environment either. And they are 50 year old coats. I'm not promoting the fur industry by wearing an old fur coat.

What gelatin is that? I always avoid anything that says gelatin, or Kosher gelatin, because that's from fish bones instead of animal bones.

I think it depends on what country your in and what wording they use. In the US geletin is called gelatin or Jell-O (company that makes flavored gelatin) Jelly and jam are different fruit preserves which may or may not have gelatin as an ingredient.

I usually eat Rowntrees which I don't believe they have in the States.

Am I allowed to eat Rowntrees???!! I'm really happy about that

^ awesome! I'm actually so happy about that

Aren't they now using artificial/ man-made gelatine in jelly and jelly sweets now?

I stay away from foods with man-made fake stuff. Vegetarian or not those ingredients are chemical concoctions and aren't good for you. Man-made stuff may also contain animal ingredients and it's hard to figure it out because it gets weird chemical sounding names, like I think anything with stearateblahblahblah is ingredients from sharks, but on the surface it sounds like a chemical name and you wouldn't think there was an animal involved. But like I said before a lot of this manmade stuff isn't really food, it's chemicals.
