So when you add sugar and food coloring to an animal substance then it becomes food? If I add salt to my toenails then do they become food too? >>21411880 >hair and toenails aren't food
>>21411881
If it has nutritional value then it's food. Gelatin contains bioavailable protein and a tiny amount of fat, so it's food.
Hair and toenails are made of keratin, which contains no bioavailable nutrients (for humans, at least). Therefore they are not food.
i think the only time i ate something and had a 'this isnt food' response was after opening a jar of cheap chinese chili oil that smelled like something you'd use to finish wood. also once when i was a kid i had a weird sort of awakening while sucking on a tube of one of those sour goo candies that were just straight corn syrup and propylene glycol and thought 'fuck i shouldn't be eating this' and stopped eating candy
>>21411933 >ate too much
anything is poison if you eat too much of it bro, read ingredients and nutrition labels and have some fuckin restraint. gummi candy is just gelatine, starch, sugar and citric acid, definitely food. i actually doled out sour patch kids to a group of tapped out hikers who left their food base once, starches and proteins are absolutely food when your body uses them

When you simmer a chicken carcass and the gelatin and collagen releases into the liquid and you have stock, you don't consider that "substance" to be food?
You're a fucking retard. Jell-O is made the same way but the flavor is removed to replace with whatever you like.

a protein can be useful even if not complete
like how you can use gelatin to suspend things in it, it's useful
but it itself is not a complete protein
so eat it with some turkey or whatever

Yes, at a certain point when you eat too much of anything, your body starts rejecting it and no longer processes it like food, and at that point it's just diarrhea. Being pedantic isn't charming or funny, I'm sorry but tv lied to you.
How do I make the toughest and chewiest possible jelly-like dessert? I really enjoy chewing on stuff that requires a lot of force. No hard or leathery stuff, just things with huge jelly resistance.
>>21413842 >all food causes harm
This is an undeniable Truth. Eat too much food and you will suffer all kinds of maladies.
Eat too little food and people will perceive you as sexually attractive. Skinny girls with big tits are hot.

I never said you're supposed to eat them by themselves you spastic, but people absolutely eat the skin of fish and chickens all the time, and bone marrow isn't that uncommon
>>21411853 (OP)
It's typically used as a binder or a thickener or a stabilizer, and shows up in a lot of foods. >>21411881
What is this metaphysical nonsense you're trying to spout? If you don't like jello, then don't eat it my friend. You're going to become lost in contradictions if you try to start classifying foods as real or not
