Why vegetarians eat gelatin?

* Gelatin is made from collagen, a protein found in animal tissues. Collagen is typically extracted from animal bones, skin, and connective tissues.

* Most vegetarians adhere to a diet that excludes animal products. This means they avoid meat, poultry, fish, and often dairy products as well. Gelatin, being derived from animal sources, falls under this category.

* Some vegetarians may consume gelatin unknowingly. It is often found in processed foods like gummy candies, marshmallows, and some desserts. Many people are unaware of the origin of gelatin, and it's often not clearly labeled on food products.

To ensure a vegetarian diet, it's important to read food labels carefully and look for products that are labeled "gelatin-free" or "vegan."
