I recently read a label on a container of yogurt which listed
one of the ingredients as "Kosher Gelatin".

The container itself had no other kosher markings.

What exactly IS kosher gelatin?  Is it just made from kosher
animals?  If so, why do they bother if they are going to mix
it with *yogurt*.  Or is it non-animal?

I'm a vegetarian, and would like to eliminate hidden animal
products where possible. (Although I'm not fanatic about 
it--there are only so many hours in the day. :-)
