    The gelatin you eat in Jell-O comes from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues. To make gelatin, manufacturers grind up these various parts and pre-treat them with either a strong acid or a strong base to break down cellular structures and release proteins like collagen.

    Now how am I going to like Jello again...........lol

    Damn it, I had hoped it had changed to some sort of chemical that wasn't gross to think about. I may never eat jello again and I love it.........

    Whoops - sorry about that jhharlan, but yes the Gelatin is purly a natural product that is extracted. Really mind about matter - enjoy.
