If you can make a product with our without animals and it tastes the same, is it a bad thing to prefer the vegan option? I don’t tell anybody what to eat, if you like to eat meat I am fine with that.
In this case it is. The alternative is that you and the other commenter actually think that everybody should have to pay more because you believe that gummies shouldn’t be made from gelatin.
Where does the hate come from? I never told you, you need to live vegan. All I am saying is producing a product without animals where it is possible is a good thing.
It’s crazy to me Haribo is still making their gums from animal bones. Their competition in Germany (Katjes) is winning so much market from them.
They sell kosher Haribos in areas near me with more Jewish people.
They’re pretty good too.
Not everybody needs vegan gummy bears?
And haribo has halal offerings.

I usually get kosher/halal Haribo when I see them.
You do you. And that’s totally okay.
As for me: I couldnt care less as long as it tastes good.
But I would also accept synthetic gelatine based gummy bears as well.
What do you mean still? That’s where gelatin comes from…
Exactly and it can easily be replaced
If it could be easily replaced then capitalism would have already replaced it…
Easily is not the same thing as profitable.

I think it’s just best if you ignore their vegan bullshit

Hah, they make a lot from animal skin as well.
They literally have a line of vegan ones. …and Katjes is actually is not doing that well, btw.
How come? From what I find Katjes is doing very well.

They make the other sort too.
