Answers:
Sorry, but gelatin is not vegetarian. It's extracted from the collagen in animals' connective tissue. There is veggie jello though, so you don't have to give it up! Check out these sites for info:

Go to www.goveg.com and they have a bunch of recipes (sp) And yes you will still be a vegitarian if you eat gummy bears and stuff as long as you don't eat meat. You can still drink milk and eat cheese and stuff too.
Sorry, Jello and Gummy Bears contain gelatin which is an animal by-product.

Gelatin is not vegetarian, because it comes from cow hooves.
In my opinion, you can't call yourself a vegetarian if you eat gelatin. There is no vegetarian that eats anything causing an animal's death.
Just get the Veggie Jello Or Vegan Gelatin these are made from plant sources. It's available at many Healthfood stores!
