It’s good to see more and more vegan candy being sold. These days I’ve even come to expect it. When it isn’t advertised on the packaging I check the ingredients and more often than not I see they are in fact vegan.

In Germany we have Katjes brand gummies that now have a whole lot of good vegan types of gummies.

They’ve finally found a way to substitute gelatine with something other than superglue that pulls all fillings and crowns from your teeth. The future is now.

Yes, I love those. Especially the rainbow candy is excellent!

Worm eating the powdered bones of a dead animal: Am I a joke to you?
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 23 hours ago
It is so disturbing that so many companies have been macabre enough to slip powdered bones into a product marketed at children.
Dasus@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
I don’t know it’s that much more macabre than a Happy Meal if you look at how mince is made.
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 21 hours ago
It’s less macabre than that.

It’s a good source of calcium. /s
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 18 hours ago
Lol, nobody is eating candy for the calcium, and there are better sources.

But… there’s no gelatin in bones.
J92@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
From a brief look up, it appears to be derived from collagen which is acquired from mostly skin and bones, of mostly cows and pigs.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
After a wee bit of reading, bones are indeed one of the major sources. They just dissolve the calcium with acid and then can boil the collagen away. What clever little buggers.

But worms don’t have tendons. OP, can you please update the meme?

No I’m eating gummy worms and it’s making me hungrier

They’ll have more bone in them once I get my hands on some 😏

The bones are their money…
remon@ani.social 1 day ago
Yeah, it’s supposed to have bones. That’s why we don’t eat actual worms!

…our local grocer stocks vegan gummies; sadly they’re not very good…

I’ve always thought it was a very modern horror story how sweets for children are made from gelatin, from animal death, basically.
I still eat them though.
