“It is interesting to note that during manufacture of gelatin, chemical changes take place so that, in the final gelatin product, the composition and identity of the orignal material is completely eliminated. Because of this, gelatin is not considered a meat food product by the United States government…”

this is I think the key: because the end-product gelatin doesn’t have any trace of the original animal it came from I think it should be allowed to be consumed.
Because if this gelatin was not allowed to be consumed because it came out of the pig, then why is the it allowed to breath in oxygen that potentially also might have been breath by a pig. Clearly, those molecules of O2 must have gone in and out of the pig as well.
