Where does the hate come from? I never told you, you need to live vegan. All I am saying is producing a product without animals where it is possible is a good thing.

If it could be easily replaced then capitalism would have already replaced it…

Does it taste the same? I've tried Katjes and I'm pretty sure it tastes different. I will of course agree with you that for two equivalent tasting products, it's better to prefer the vegan option even as a meat eater.

I usually get kosher/halal Haribo when I see them.

You do you. And that's totally okay.
As for me: I couldnt care less as long as it tastes good.

But I would also accept synthetic gelatine based gummy bears as well.
