Perhaps this is slightly off-topic - but, since the subject has been
raised . . .
Sometime in the recent past I read an article on Jello (probably in _The
Reader's Digest_). If my memory serves me correctly, there was a
statement in the article that gelatin has been determined to be
Kosher because it has undergone such extensive change, in the extractive
processes the raw material undergoes, that it is no longer animal
matter.
Please regard this info as the product of a brain overstuffed with trivia!
I hope this eases some consciences,
