Hidden GROSS ingredients in your FOOD!! EWWW

In this phase of my journey I have made it my mission to NOT eat packaged food if it contains ingredients that I cannot say! Plus processed foods are just bad!!! When I started reading articles about what is put in our food I began to dig deeper. Whats worse is the FANCY names they give these disgusting items! However the ultimate betrayal was finding out that our FDA ALLOWS all of it!! Human Hair and Duck Feathers are found in Marshmallow Cream, Beetle Secretions are the coating on Jelly Beans, and would you seriously EAT the secretions that come from a Beaver's Anus? Why in the HELL would you?! OH MY GAWD!!! However you do everyday and much worse. You feed it to your kids. That yogurt you buy the Kiddos that you think is good for them cause it says FRUIT on the box?! Well guess again!! It is all SUGAR and contains NO FRUIT!! Those Blueberry Muffins in the vending machine, they don't even contain blueberries!! Almost every item in the grocery store that says BERRY on it, does NOT have any berries in it! The little blue pellets are actually soy flour and flavorings. 

Castoreum is a flavoring commonly added to enhance anything raspberry. Logic would tell us that it probably is a concentrated raspberry derivative, or at least coming from some type of berry. And I guess you might call the anal gland of a beaver berry-like, especially since that is the source of castoreum. I'm sorry, castoreyummmmm.
Ever send back a meal at a restaurant because you found a hair in your sandwich? Well, joke's on you—that bread may actually have hairs intentionally in the mix. L-cysteine or cystine can be made from human hair and/or duck feathers.
Confectioner's glaze sounds harmless enough. You might think it's a syrup coating, which it is. It just happens to come from the Lac beetle, who converts tree sap into resin, similar to a bee's production of honey. The Lac resin is collected, crushed and made into food glaze.
Carmine also called Crimson Lake, Cochineal, Natural Red #40, C.I. 75470, or E120, is a red coloring frequently found in candies, fruit drinks, fruit flavored yogurt and cosmetics. It is actually made from the dead, ground-up husks of female red beetles.
Next time you're thinking about enjoying a nice gum chew, you might want to ask yourself how you feel about rolling sheep goo around in your mouth for hours. Lanolin, which is also often added to body care products, is the oily substance secreted by sheep into their thick wooly fur. Gums will often list the ingredient as "gum base" because of standards where manufacturers are not required to list out each ingredient.
We weren't all that shocked to see Taco Bell called out for its less-than-beefy burrito meat, which contains a host of nasty ingredients including silicon dioxide, which is, yes, sand. It's also added to Wendy's chili and a bunch of other processed food items to prevent caking

  The chemical fertilizer ammonium sulfate is added to some chain restaurant sandwich breads in order to feed yeast in the baking process. 

Propylene glycerol is found in antifreeze and can cause skin and eye irritation. Fast food places use it in their pre-packaged salads to keep the greens crisp

Fast food salads can't do anything right. In addition to sexy-time lube ingredients in the lettuce, many fast food salad dressings include titanium dioxide. The same chemical can be found in various paints, sunscreen, and a typical semiconductor

People love to tout the benefits of yogurt. It can keep you regular, supply some of your daily calcium and protein, and still tastes like dessert. But no one talks about how many popular brands of yogurt contain stearic acid and glycerin, which come from beef and pork by-products

 

What does a bread bun have in common with your toned yoga buns? Why, it's azodicarbonamide, a chemical found in fast food buns, yoga mats, and the soles of sneakers. But that's just the tip of the plastic iceberg. Some fast food meals are made up of 70-plus ingredients — most are hard to pronounce, and some are banned as food additives in Europe.

Tainted beef isn't just disgusting, it's deadly. The fatty, low-quality meat served at fast food joints is more likely to contain E. coli and salmonella, so it's treated in ammonia before being cooked and served. Yes, the same ammonia used to clean ovens and floors, and the same ammonia that can be poisonous. If you think a burger smells gross when it's cooked, imagine the chemical fumes when it's raw

This is just a start to get you thinking about packaged food. So next time you shop, don't just read the calories and carbs ect read on....If you cannot SAY it do NOT EAT IT!!!!
