I mean you aren't eating the stem of an apple tree or the bones of a cow either.

The bones are for soup

Jest, gelatin is the bones.

So are many soup stocks

Gummy worms have more bones than real worms.

sure, but they also don't call eating an apple "eating trees". it would still be fair to call applewood based products "beaver food" or "cardboard" if someone told you to eat it.
