most sweets are made out of Gelatin because otherwise they would be made out of whale meat
^^ [edit]
Actually it's probably because gelatin is extremely cheap and easy to get hold of so the alternatives (which are plently) such as Agar-Agar, Biobin, Guar, Xanthan and Carob fruit which have the same effect as gelatin are usually dismissed. This is probably a mistake because if they switched to one of the alternatives, they would make a larger capital due vegetarians and vegans who will buy their produce.
