    Knowing how popular gelatinized everything used to be in the middle of the previous century makes me want to barf more than a little.

      I understand the history behind it (gelatin used to be something that took all day to make, refrigeration used to be uncommon, so gelatin was a marker of wealth, blah blah blah) but no force in heaven or earth will ever move me from the belief that high lead levels were a huge factor in what people put in gelatin, served to guests, and told themselves was good.
