Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hi Andre. I think you are right about why many people avoid thinking about the ingredients that make up most geletin. I know when I learned of it I was quite repulsed. The difference is, some of us learn and then change our ways, while some will hear the truth and just stuff it into some dead cavity of their brains and choose to forget to think of it. That is the big difference between us and them, I think. I am not sure if the conversation we had will have any positive effect., but I always hope for that. Last night we got together with some of that same crew to play dominoes, and she brought a flan dessert. She said it was some box mix for flan, and it looks susiciously like it contained geletin, so I avoided it. I don't really know what is in homemade flan anyway. Anyone know if it is vegetarian? ~ PT ~ Only the hand that erases can write the true thing. ~ Meister Eckhart, theologian (c. 1260-1327) ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~> , " Andre " <andre777_98> wrote: > I don't think people are ignorant about things like gelatin because > they haven't been exposed to the information.

Should be as vegetarian as custard ;=) - with the same ingredients.
