 | Hello, Mr. Wong? I'm calling from the Asylum. I'm afraid your mother has caused a bit of a stir... | |

| (Mr. Wong) Look...I'm in an important meeting...don't you people know how to deal with an obsessive-compulsive jello mold making disorder? | |
|
| Underneath JELL-O's jiggly wholesomeness lurks a secret many consumers are disconcerted to learn: JELL-O is made from gelatin, an animal product rendered from the hides and bones of animals. | |

| Please come get your mother...I think I'm going to be...sick. | |
|
| The production of gelatin starts with the boiling of bones, skins, and hides of cows and pigs, a process that releases the protein-rich collagen from animal tissues. The collagen is boiled and filtered numerous times, dried, and ground to a powder. Because the collagen is processed extensively, the final product is not categorized as a meat or animal product by the federal government. Very strict vegetarians avoid gelatin entirely, but more permissive vegetarians have no problem including JELL-O in their diets. | |
