Marshmallows...not so sweet..

Gross if you are a vegetarian, but even if you are a meat eater, it falls into the same category as hot dog's to me. Why the hell would you want to eat that kind of crap?

"Marshmallows aren't Vegetarian. Modern "marshmallows" are made with air-blown gelatin. Gelatin is probably the most repulsive of all animal products- made from rendering down the hooves, connective tissues, joints, eyeballs, brains and anything else that ends up in the sluice grates of the slaughterhouse floor. Originally, Marshmallows were made from the Marsh Mallows - a plant from Egypt. They were an expensive imported delicacy around the turn of the last century. Not too long after that, somebody found that you could make a fair approximation of the real Marshmallow texture by air-blowing gelatin and adding all sorts of other junk. The government never forced the frauds to change their deceptive labeling. It became so common that within a few decades, almost nobody even remembered what "Marshmallows" actually were, nor where the name came from."

Yaick! That is gross. Marshmallows taste great and there is no other sweet tasted and textured like that. But after reading your post, I don't think I want to take them anymore.
Nice post and really informative.
