Glad you asked Amanda! Traditional gummy-related snacks are made from sugar, glucose syrup, starch, flavouring, food coloring, citric acid, and gelatin. Regarding the last ingredient, gelatin is derived from the collagen inside animals’ skin and bones — mainly from domesticated horses, cattle, and pigs.

Okay awesome that he’s gone vegetarian and that the scooby snacks are plant-based. But that makes me wonder, are some of the gummy fruit snacks animal-based? That’s rather frightening.

[...] A popular cartoon character is a vegetarian thanks to the famous man who lends his voice to the beloved guy. I like how he stuck to his principles too. Check it out here: http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/07/08/casey-kasem-made-shaggy-from-scooby-doo-go-vegetarian/ [...]

I heard about this yesterday and posted it up on my site! Too funny I always liked ScoobyDoo… and now I like him even more because he’s a vegetarian!

Here’s a picture of Kasem and the link to my article on this…

Thanks! I’ve been trying to find confirmation of that online, but so far no luck. And everyone I’ve interviewed through my site hasn’t been able to confirm it as being true either. I guess I’ll have to try to interview Casey Kasem! I wish!!!!!!

@ScoobyAddict: I pulled it from TIME (http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1908941,00.html) — though after checking, it’s probable they pulled it from Wikipedia.

I was wondering where you got your info about Casey Kasem refusing to do Shaggy’s voice for the BK commercial and leaving the voice role of Shaggy? I’ve been looking for a reputable source other than Wikipedia for that info.
