I eat stuff with bones in it all the time, as do most humans. I was a vegetarian for years and the inclusion of gelatin in foods where it isn't immediately obvious was certainly annoying. As was the inclusion of non-vegetarian products in cheese, beer, and sugar. Doesn't change the fact that gelatin isn't generally considered a ghoulish or unusual ingredient -- little kids get served big bowls of it! If you have a special diet you need to read labels. That's what they're for.
- ben_w 3y agoThere are many possible reasons for being vegetarian or vegan. If the reasons are specifically ethical in nature (i.e. not limited to environmental or health reasons etc. but based on a concern for the possibility that animals have a rich inner experience and have the moral standing of humans), then it's definitely ghoulish for all the same reasons treating humans as livestock is ghoulish. When I was a kid, I simply didn't think about it. I also simply didn't think about how some people ate species that I considered pets.
