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.

Not usually, no; because gelatin is often made from non-kosher animals. You need to see if the sweets are kosher. Look for a symbol that is a capital K or capital U with a circle around it. There is kosher gelatin, for Jewish people who keep kosher. This gelatin is made from kosher beef or from vegetable-sources. There is also agar, which is made from seaweed, which can be used in the exact same recipes as gelatin.
