ahhh.......i just found out that gelatin is made out of animals...i found this on a website:

Gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the bones, connective tissues, organs, and some intestines of animals such as the domesticated cattle, and horses. The natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken down into a form that rearranges more easily.

i guess that means no more cheese cake :(
