forgive my cynicism, but only if the collagen substrate could be synthesized and thus patented..and the natural chicken feet substance would be declared unpure (instilling fear into those who were/are using it) and would be available in its natural form only in other cultures. ( if these other cultures had the internet, possibly it could be obtainable.) or the alternative industry could develop a method of purifying the chicken feet...I see a whole new product here for several industries. just need a method of getting the report to their attention
