What's In Your Food?
The older I get, the more and more horrifed I am but what is in my food. First it was Cool Whip. Wired Magazine investigated the chemicals on the side of the package, and surprise! You're eating condom lubricant and hemorrhoid cream. NEVER AGAIN. Now Fox News has posted an article about a little known color additive called cochineal or carmine. It's apparently used in a host of products to give a red, pink, or orange color. The only problem? It's CRUSHED BEETLE. Yes, you are eating insects when you are enjoying those lovely strawberry yogurts and strawberry milk. Dannon and Yoplait have admitted they use it. Looks like a yogurt maker is on my horizon.
