Here's the response I got...what should I say back?
Casey,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding gelatin used in some of our Pop-tarts. We are glad you contacted us and are happy to discuss our ingredients openly.
The plain (unfrosted) Kellogg's® Pop-Tarts® and our Kellogg's® Printed Fun Pop-Tarts™ Gingerbread do not contain gelatin. The pre-gelatinized wheat starch contained in some of our toaster pastries is derived from wheat and does not contain any gelatin.
Kellogg’s was indeed founded with a strong desire to create nutritionally balanced grain products. We continue this legacy through W. K. Kellogg Institute for Food and Nutrition Research. This is a major investment in Kellogg Company's continuing commitment to develop innovative grain-based foods. This world-class food research and development facility enables Kellogg food scientists, nutritionists and engineers to turn wholesome grains and other ingredients into innovative breakfast, convenience, snacking and frozen foods which meet consumer expectations for superior taste, nutrition, and convenience.
We have many vegetarian consumers and will share your desire to see a vegetarian alternative used in place of gelatin with the appropriate people here.
Again, thank you for contacting us. We hope that this provides you with the information you need to make food choices appropriate for you and your family
Sincerely,
Rebecca A Jimenez Consumer Affairs Department

If you would, that would be great! I'm trying to find ways to spread it, but it;s a bit difficult...any ideas?

I'll add a few noticeable links on the site here and there, and I'll go posting it on Neopets.
