Found this online, and im sure some of us have eaten one if not all of the above products at some point in our lives.

Just letting you know the kind of gross stuff they throw into some of these products, maybe next time youll think twice before reaching for that guilty pleasure i know i will.

Well in the days before processed foods back on the farms or stone age we would kill something to eat practically on a daily bases. So who knew what was in the meat from wild animals that were captured back in the day. So if we get a few bugs legs or whatever I say it's still not that bad.


Escargot anybody?

Interesting read... always wondered why I hated candy, subway (even though it's supposed to be good for you), gum, bagels, and Wendy's chili (YUCK). Guess I just have to watch out for what kind of cheese I eat.. ah well I like cheese I can deal with some cow by-product

Side note: I don't like subway because everytime I get a sandwich there it's gimpy! Kinda like getting shorted on any other transaction...

Ever make mud pie when you were a kid? Were you ever daring enough to eat it?

Well, if you are getting your recommended daily allowance of Fruits and Vegetables, then you are probably inadvertently consuming approximately a pound of dirt a day! I kid you not!

However, as gross as it may sound, there are health benefits to eating dirt. It provides an additional 15% of your RDA of iron, magnesium and zinc. It also can help regulate your serotonin levels, thus leveling moods and alleviating depression.

Don't let those health benefits keep you from washing your fruits and veggies that you bring home from the store though! Unless it is Certified Organic then it is going to contain high levels of pesticides and herbicides on the outer layer. Bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella and E. Coli are commonly found on the outer layer of fruits and vegetables. And let's not forget insects!

Especially if you eat your fruits and veggies raw, do not put them in your mouth until they have been washed! Even if you grew and harvested them yourself! Know though that washing fruits and veggies will make them spoil much faster, so only wash fruits and vegetables right before preparing them for cooking or eating.

Only one that really bothered me was the coal tar.

That deserves a nationwide lawsuit.

Another gross fact about Wendy's Chili...

The beef is usually "expired" beef patties. By expired I mean they've been sitting in their own juices for a certain amount of time in the C-Vap and instead of counting them as waste they're saved and put in the chili.

AHHHHH.

I guess it's not much different that eating a leftover burger patty from your Saturday BBQ but still...nothing good can come from fast food chili.

And beaver anal glands are delicious, I love raspberry candy!!

Thanks Phi I am now afraid to eat anything

I knew many things on Your list, and some that aren't, but the things I didn't know blew me away.

I wonder how shallac has enough lac beatle juice??? Now I'm on the hunt.

S&F

oh thats nothing

on Today/Tonight yea i know there prats most of the time but they had one interesting story a whistleblower from the food technology industry released a document that deciphers all those numbers you see representing food additives, a very large proportion of them were listed by the UN as unsutiable for human consumption.

ive been trying to find it for along time now, but i cant for some reason i might write into them and see if they still have it. all i can remember from it though is dont eat/drink anything with strawberry flavouring

the chemical they use is highly toxic and carcinogenic.

As usual an amazing and interesting thread from phi

I really apreciate yours threads cuz is amazing how much things we aren't aware of, and personally i wouldn't be able to find myself

You should see what is in wheat and corn flour and soy.

They are allowed a certain percentage if insect protein and a percentage of animal hair(mostly rat and mouse)

And white flour is bleached with chlorine gas.

I actualy work makeing food ingridents for different companys honestly the amount of salt and chemicals that go in to food is unbelivible we once made a seasoning for sausages and we had to leave the factory floor till my boss got us full face masks like what a fire man wares because the fumes were so strong and burnd our eyes lungs and faces, it was a nightnare to work with

Mmmmmm beaver anal glands (homer simpson drooling noise), lol, seriously though food is only as disgusting as a society deems it, look at them kooky koreans and vietnamese, they eat puppy! Over here in the north of england we eat sheeps stomach // intestine, stuffed with herbs (haggis) or dried pigs blood with herbs (black pudding), the rest of the country, maybe even the world sticks their noses up at this, well, the haggis at least. So a few bugs make it into our food, we'll live, anyway didn't they sell lollipops a while back with full size crickets and other bugs in the middle?
