The Stuff inside Food
I find this very hard to believe. You think how many cows are slaughtered to make those burgers, do they really have enough worms to make an almost equal amount? we're talking tonnes upon tonnes upon tonnes of meat.McDonalds has been said to use 40% Grubworms in thier food
Meh, protein. I see no health risk here.A can of tomato soup has up to 4 Crushed fruit fly maggots inside
A can of mixxed fruit ALSO has up to 4 crushed fruit fly maggots inside
Quite true, we all take for granted how colourfull our food is, but it's really not supposed to look like that. Not to mention, Red dye (which is in damn near anything) is quite carcinogenic, yet the FDA sees no problem with pumping tonnes of it into our food. I think all the rising cancer rates today is largely due to all the carcinogenic crap in our food, plus the excessive levels of stress people are under now. and if you ask me, I think Coca-cola is cancer causing. no i don't have anything to back that up, just a hunch.Few people know that the food coloring listed as cochineal extract comes from female beetles. Food activists want to spread the word.
When you dig into a strawberry Yoplait yogurt, take a moment to contemplate where the beautiful pink color comes from. Strawberries? Think again. It comes from crushed bugs. Specifically, from the female cochineal beetles and their eggs. And it's not just yogurt. The bugs are also used to give red coloring to Hershey Good & Plenty candies, Tropicana grapefruit juice, and other common foods.
not surprising, yet still disturbing.The bright white color in cake frosting comes from a chemical also found in house paint.
Is there something bad about antioxidants?Cold cuts a favorite of yours for lunch? Don't think that the nice red color on the ham and bacon is because the factories at Oscar Meyer and Hormel have mastered the art of curing meat beautifully. Rather, it comes from sodium ascorbate, an antioxidant and color stabilizer
This I knew.Hey vegetarians! Did you know that Jell-O comes from parts of animals that people don't eat?
Jell-O is the comfort food of generations. It's made of gelatin, which goes into making other products like yogurt and ice cream. Not many people know it, but it's made from a protein that is derived from prolonged boiling of animal skin, tissue, and bones.
What exactly is propylene glycol alginate, and why should I fear it?Even beer foam has a chemical reason for its foaminess
Wonder why the foam in your beer stays that way? It's the propylene glycol alginate, of course! Cheers.
can we not ANYTHING natural these days?That yummy yellow tint you see in raw chicken at the grocery store doesn't come naturally
The next time you're in the supermarket, you might spot a juicy, healthy-looking yellow chicken. More likely than not, it has been fed canthaxanthin. This hard-to-pronounce pigment is added to chicken feed to enhance the animal's yellow color and make it look palatable. Yum
More people need to be disturebed, and more than a little.A little disturbing isnt it?
