Why do vegans not eat gelatin?

Here's why:

* Collagen is a protein found in animal tissues, primarily in bones, skin, and connective tissues.

* Gelatin is made by extracting collagen from these animal sources.

* Vegans avoid all animal products, including those that are byproducts of animal slaughter.

Gelatin is often used in a variety of foods, including:

* Desserts (like marshmallows, gummy candies, and jello)

* Yogurt and dairy products

* Some medications and vitamins

* Cosmetics

Vegans choose to avoid gelatin because it aligns with their ethical and moral beliefs surrounding animal welfare and cruelty-free living.
