Answers:
I've heard that fast food fries have a lot of animal fat in their grease. I don't know if that's true, though, or an urban legend.
yogurt and margarine/butter sometimes have gelatin
and yogurt sometimes has carmine, which would be the flesh/juice of an animal/insect.
Meat or meat products?
McDonalds (and probably other fast food restaurants) cook french fries in a beef shortening.
Gluten in Starburst? Grab a pack and read the ingredients.. I know there is corn syrup and real fruit juice in them.
Many products come from animals... you'd have to research eat one a little to find out the actual ingredients.

My girlfriend had a pack the other day and ate them. We are both vegetarian...she is far more strict than I am, but I read the ingredients....just for the heck of it and they had gelatin in them.
What the heck!
I always read labels now. Its important if you strict. So when I shop and shop for the two of us I always read carefully.

a lot of restaurants use beef stock powder to enhance the flavour (cheekily) of MUSHROOM SAUCE.
Check out the ingredients on some jellies. What does this mean for penny sweets?
Jello...

There are sites you can look up this stuff. It would be impossible to list them all.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley, not a meat product. It is only a problem for those with Gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disease affecting the abosorbtion of gluten.
I think you are talking of gelatin. Yes Gelatin can indeed be made from meat products, seeing as it needs to be made from the bones of some type of animal.
Google "Kosher Gelatin" for more info.
sugar is made with cow bones to make it white.. see Blindguru.com and read about it

you can find it in a lot of candy and snack cakes. you can also find it in things that dont advertise meat but will use the broth, such as some vegetable soups.
