Can a vegetarian eat kosher gelatin??

Question

Can a vegetarian eat kosher gelatin??

Answer 1

No, kosher gelatin is made from fish.

Answer 2

No. Kosher gelatin can be made with fish bones, and/or beef skins.

Answer 3

Kosher gelatin is made from animals slaughtered according to the laws of kashrut.  Or it is made from certain fishes considered kosher.  Either way, it is not vegetarian.  In fact, the kosher gelatin I've seen on a bag of marshmallows labels itself as fish gelatin.

There are vegetarian gelling agents, such as agar, carrageenan, and pectin, but they are not gelatins.

Answer 4

No, Kosher gelatin comes from animals that suffered even more when they died.

Many people think that "Kosher" means that the animal died happier but they actually suffer much more in death.

"Kosher" is just a bunch of worthless hocus pocus that some Jewish people believe makes their meat "clean".

I say that Kosher slaughter should be illegal.

ALL gelatin comes from dead animals. "vegetarian gelatin" does not exist.

Agar-agar and carrageenan are alternatives to gelatin but they aren't *types* of gelatin.

Answer 5

whats that?

Answer 6

NOPE!

Answer 7

Generally it comes from fish- gelatin is not vegetarian. Agar powder, which is derived from seaweed makes a good substitution

Answer 8

No, but Jews can.

No lie. Unless they're vegetarian.

Answer 9

A vegetarian is someone who doesnt eat meat etc.

Kosher is meat slaughtered specially for Jews.

So...unless your Jew and the gelatine is vegetarian type, no.

Answer 10

A person can eat any thing that his conscience allow and whatever he can get down.

Answer 11

Some Vegetarians eat gelatin but its made from bones and things have to die for us to get those so. I hope they don't. A Vegetarian who refuses to eat gelatin is considered a Hardcore Vegetarian. I'm a Hardcore Pescetarian, I still eat fish, some gelatin is made from fish bones, so technically I could eat fish bone gelatin, but I still avoid all kind of it.

Answer 12

Gelatin is made from bones.  I don't know of any plants with bones.  I read an article way back that said that even though it usually comes from pig bones, it's so far removed from the swine that it's been declared Kosher in spite of that.  I don't know, just reporting what I heard.

Answer 13

Hey, I'm not positive.. But watch this.

Something about vegan mashmellows and vegan gelatin.

Hope it sort of helped :D
