Does Bill Cosby Know This?
the substance used to make Jell-O, as well as many gummy candies, marshmallows, puddings and taffies – is often made from the skin, bone and tendons of animals, usually cows or pigs. The manufacturer grinds up these animal parts, treats them with a strong acid or base for a few days to help release the collagen, then boils the mixture. Then, they scrape the gelatin, which rises to the top of this boiling mixture, from the vats. One big user, Kraft, sells 300 million boxes of Jell-O in the U.S. each year and offers 158 products under the Jell-O brand name. (Jell-O is even the “Official State Snack” of Utah.)
“I am proud to be an American. Because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth as long as he has two pieces of bread.” Bill Cosby
I thought Jello was cow hooves. That’s why gelatin is good for your finger nails.
That’s a good one to spring on inexperienced vegetarians. See also, “rennet.”
Why anyone would choose to be a vegetarian when there are delicious animals walking around is beyond Angryclown’s comprehension.
I don’t know about vegetarians, but I heard that being vegan gives you super powers:

Don’t take this as a recommendation, but the movie did make me laugh.
It’s an urban myth that Jello is made from cow’s hoofs. In fact, as the above information demonstrates, it’s cooked up from bone–mostly the bones of pigs.
According to an article in Smithsonian some years back, the resulting collagen product is so highly refined that rabbis have declared Jello kosher, in spite if its origin in pork.
A substance which bacon is powerless to enhance is not fit for human consumption.

Hey AC! We agree on something!!
Here’s another variation:
If God did not intend for us to eat animals, why did he make them taste so good?
“If God did not intend for us to eat animals, why did he make them taste so good?”
I’m more familiar with the version that goes: If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
I remember my mom commenting on how she had to show a Muslim employee the back of box of Jell-O to demonstrate that it then was made from beef, not pork. Maybe that has changed…..
Do vegetarians eat Animal Crackers?
