Where does the hate come from? I never told you, you need to live vegan. All I am saying is producing a product without animals where it is possible is a good thing.

Exactly and it can easily be replaced

If it could be easily replaced then capitalism would have already replaced it…

I've a feeling gelatin is just cheaper because it's a byproduct of the meat industry. We're not killing animals just for the jelly, so they either put it in sweets or it goes in the bin.

This is 100% the case and the point I was making.

Easily is not the same thing as profitable.

In this case it is. The alternative is that you and the other commenter actually think that everybody should have to pay more because you believe that gummies shouldn’t be made from gelatin.

I'm not talking about what I believe, I'm talking about how capitalism actually works.
