comment What does Judaism think about homosexuality?
I downvoted you because your answer sounds like a advertisement. Your post became political when the question didn't involve politics. It's clear from your language that your intent was to persuade readers that homosexuality is acceptable, when the vast majority of Orthodox Judaism rejects this; that is to say, your post is misleading.

comment Who determines the kosher status of “new” foods?
Along @Shalom's point, according to Kraft Food's statement, the gelatin may be derived from tissue, not bone: "The production of the gelatin starts w/refinement of collagen-bearing tissues of any animal..."

Very detailed answer. Informative to me, particularly the bit about "permitted only for those who allow the use of gelatin." Thanks!

The consensus of recognized Orthodox kosher authorities seems to be the common theme between the answers here. Thanks.

Follow-up question: what do you do with minority approval, like that of R. Gershuni and R. Telsner in the Jell-O case?

Ok. So your answer is essentially, "major authorities in the Orthodox world, like OU, determine kosher status." Thanks.
