> Sorry, Tabitha, but all gelatin (or gelatine) comes from rendering dead animals. Pig skin is the main source, but hooves, horns, & other parts are used too. I can't be certain but the food & pharmaceutical grade gelatin is supposed to come from healthy animals. I do know that regulations aren't always followed or strictly held.
>I used to think that was an "urban legend"
