JELL-O

So I was at lunch today with Jason, Cliff and Isis and for dessert Jason got some Jello... We started talking about jello ingredients and Jay said something like "its made out of cow hooves".. I totally did not believe him when he said that...

How is jello made out of a cow's hoof?

I mean, we've all made or have seen someone make jello at least once in our lives. All you do is get the powdery stuff and mix it with water, put it in the fridge and BAM there's your jello! Who would have thought that powdery stuff is made with cow hooves! Did you ever think an animal's foot would turn into a dessert?

I still didn't believe him, so he went on the internet to look it up:

The production of gelatin starts with the boiling of bones, skins, and hides of cows and pigs, a process that releases the protein-rich collagen from animal tissues. The collagen is boiled and filtered numerous times, dried, and ground to a powder.

OMG gross, I will never look at jello the same again!
