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 1 year 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 1 year ago
It’s less macabre than that.
“Ferdman found that one single McDonald’s patty can contain the meat of up to a shocking 100 cows.”

It’s a good source of calcium. /s
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Lol, nobody is eating candy for the calcium, and there are better sources.

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 😏

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.

The bones are their money…
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But… there’s no gelatin in bones.
J92@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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?
remon@ani.social 1 year ago
Yeah, it’s supposed to have bones. That’s why we don’t eat actual worms!

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.
Thorry84@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Yes, I love those. Especially the rainbow candy is excellent!

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.

which are your favorite? :D
M137@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s been awesome to see how it went from something you had to go to vegan only stores or order online to the norm, now it’s just checking every kind you buy because a few still have animal products in them but as you said, it’s mostly vegan. It’s just non-dark chocolate that’s normally not vegan now.

Sometimes you miss the taste of hooves, but I’m with you
