Yeah, I think it's pretty gross. But gelatin is very cheap and is in a LOT of stuff. Probably way more stuff you eat than you know. It's in most types of yogurt, almost every chewy kind of candy (Starburst, Skittles), Twinkies, and Poptarts, and all flavors of Altoids to name a few things. It's all over the place. It's a big pain the butt when you're first starting out as a vegetarian and you have to read all of the labels, but now I pretty much know what to avoid!
Obviously I think that being a vegetarian is the way to go, but then I'm a little biased. Basically I just tell people it's much easier than they think, and that there's a good book called "The Perfectly Contented Meat Eater's Guide to Vegetarianism" which, while it still preaches, at least has a sense of humor about it.
