I love to eat snacks just as much as the next guy. I love them so much that i actually have a budget for snacks every month. I could go on for hours about which snacks i like and which are my very favorite, but i wanted to discuss Gummy bears today. We all know and love this snack but i learned something very disturbing recently that has caused me to rethink buying them every again. I saw a post on social media and i did some research. Gummy bears contain an ingredient called gelatin. Gelatin is animal by product and the most common parts are bones. Forget about the corn syrup and everything else for a second. How do they allow companies to sell this kind of crap in our food? My kids love gummy bears now how do i explain to them that they cannot eat them anymore? After finding this fact out will they be a snack of choice for you?

As always thank you for reading please don't forget to follow me.

I usually don't care about the ingredients. I mean, chips increase the risks of getting cancer and all that, but I don't care. - I can't care too much about things like that, because I want to live my life the way I want. Most things I eat and drink are probably not that healthy or rather "disgusting" in case I look at the ingredients, which is why I don't do it.

I'm also one of the person who doesn't read about the side effects of a medicine. I don't read the TOC. And I don't do that, because I'm a firm believer of the fact that people reading side effects are the people who will start to suffer of some of them too.

We are all going to die anyway rite? What you eat is like a race to see who wins the casket first. If you looked into it and did some research you will find out that everything we eat is bad for us. That fact is disturbing enough for me to agree with you and say who cares. What am i suppose to eat? You have to figure this much diet controls your emotions and thoughts. If you are hungry or eating stuff you don't like it will mess with your head. Medicine is a different ball game and i don't recommend taking to many pills unless you absolutely need them. Some of the side effects are worse than what your taking the pills for to begin with. I respect your way of thinking but you should always do research when it comes to medication these doctors get paid to prescribe you stuff. People don't understand that Doctors get special funding and kick backs for giving certain pills to patients. Thanks for reading

I am well aware of Gelatin because my older sister is a vegetarian and my younger sister is vegan. You will be shocked to find that so many products have animals products, animal by products or are tested on animals in some way.

This becomes to clear to me when my sister comes to visit and I try and cater for her but even then there are many things that I miss and she won't eat or use.

She has just started a new website which shares products that are 100% vegan and safe to use.

Finding more and more people who are vegan on a daily basis. Like i mentioned above i cant ban everything in my diet because i will go crazy. All my life i have been trained to eat fast food and to buy groceries and eat meat. For me to change my diet would either kill me or make me sick. Then i would also have to deal wit the mental issues that come along with it. Craving certain things, depression, and more. I love burgers and bacon i could never give them up and im sure i could research things and find out disgusting facts. I just don't think it will stop me im already programmed to love bacon since a child. People who make the life choice to not eat meat or become vegan are commendable in my book. I say hats off to them and bravo, i could never do it. Thanks for sharing Lynne as always its a pleasure.

agreed, hats off to everyone who choose to take a different dieting road.

i was brought up on fast food and gummy snacks and BACON too! i agree i would definitely turn into a horrible cranky,nasty good craving person, if i were to ever try to switch my diet to an all vegan or vegetarian diet.

it is really bad that i should be looking at every food label i buy because we just cannot trust the food industry... thanks for sharing jkeyz!

I love gummy bears. Chewing these help me to stay awake at work. I prefer those which use natural fruit juices and no colouring. I have a preference for sour gummy bears.

I do eat them from time to time and I love them. I don't know what I could say about this but they are nice to have as a sweet snack if you have low energy. I knew this thing you wrote that gelatine is made out of parts of animal bones, actually my mom told me this when I was a kid and I remember I was shocked about it but it didn't stop me from eating gelatine in different ways. It might sound a bit disturbing, the fact that they come from that, because that's the last thing that crosses your mind when you eat them but at the end it is not that bad, at least in my opinion.

I don't think that's really true or even it is, I don't mind. Gummy Bears do you eat them?

Gummy bears are one of my favorite candy, specially Cola-flavored gummy bears. I do have a sweet tooth and I eat this a lot. I always finished one pack of it in just one sit. They may be not a well-known brand manufacturer or just an imitation of the original gummy bears. Don't get fooled easily.

Who doesn't love gummy bears right?, I know most people are not going to eat this because of it's ingredients but for me it doesn't matter as long as it's edible. I've been eating this gummy bear my whole life and it's just taste so amazing I love how they had varieties of colors and flavors to choose from. And even my little cousins and relatives loves to eat this, I guess it's because of the bear shape and colors it has.

I like to eat snacks as well but I do not eat gummy bear since I heard that they aren't natural and have some colorants and chemicals inside I avoid to buy and eat them, especially because my son loves to eat them.
I prefer to prepare a small snack from vegetable and fruits, these are more healthy!

Sure. I eat Gummy bears, Gummy worms and Gummy lifesavers too. Many candies have or are adding Gummy versions of their product to their brand cache. Jolly Ranchers, Starburst - just to name a few.
