The gelatin capsules are made from dead animal parts?

Yes they are. And you don't want to know what part they use!

Man... i was sure that they were syntethic...
So, alaricxi, im sorry for my own ignorance.

It's not really anything all that gross to a non-vegetarian --- they boil bones and other such parts from meat processing that aren't suitable for food to make gelatin. A vegetarian who doesn't eat meat for ethical/moral reasons would object, but an omnivorous human would not.

Saying it's made from "dead animal parts" is true, but it sounds gross, like they found a dead carcass on the side of the road or something!

Most vegetarians will tell you that gelatin is made from horse hooves. At least that is what my (vegetarian) sister tells me.....

I'm not really sure if this is true, but I heard that vegetarian gelatin is made from the toenails of vegetarians.

I make oil in a crock pot. I put a 1:1 (1 cup of weed or 1oz of good trimmings to 1 cup of oil)ratio of weed and Extra Virgin Olive Oil and cook it on low for 4 hours and then strain it with cheese cloth. Then once I have oil I just make a box of brownies, any kind, and then just add 2 Tablespoons in-addition-to the normal directions. Makes a great brownie and usually only takes one 2"x2" made in a 13x9" pan. The browines are requested weekly from all my friends. I make just over a pint and only use 2 tbls.

I made butter the same way and shared it with a buddy of mine. He makes grill cheese with it, first he puts regular butter and then a little fun butter. Also he has made mashed potatoes with them, but he put about 2tbls in one serving and it kicked is ass. Next time he plans on 1tbls in a few servings.

No problem man, sorry if my response sounded offensive.

I try not to care what other people do/say but misinformation about veg*ism sometimes annoys me. The worst I've heard is, "I know a lot of vegans who do chicken."
I actually find it easiest if people don't know that I don't eat meat because many take me not eating meat as an offensive action towards them... whatever...

if the caps are made from the same material that clear papers are made from then its not animal fat, its plant fiber.

Actually, Gelatin is a mix of animal bones, nerves and ligaments, boiled at a super high tempareture, until they all melt into some kind of gel.
