Absolutely. More to the point its 'Big Business' and the kind of mentality that usually goes with it.

Keep it small, keep it local (so you can keep yer beady eye on them I reckon) and ideally grow your own. Thats part of the solution.

Gelatine would be avoided by most veggies actually but I take your point and agree. Thats why I'm moving towards a Vegan diet/lifestyle myself. It is difficult, you wouldn't believe how many things there are on the market that contain animal products. Things you'd wouldn't believe even needed them in there. It frequently takes you by complete surprise and what a pain to have to scan every single label too. But at least labeling is getting better these days. Not there yet but I'm on my way.
