Ya know, it's bad enough that everything we eat is full of chemicals, pesticides, hormones, steroids.......but when you think something is okay; you get the shock of your life.
I got some frozen, stuffed baked potatoes where the main ingredients are: sour cream, cheddar, bacon and chives. Then when you scroll down to the other '30 ingredients', you come across something that says, "Locust Bean Gum."
Say what?? I had to Google it. It is a a thickening agent that comes from a pod from the Carob Tree in the Mediterranean. Now why is that crap in my potato?! And since it also goes by the name of Carob Tree Gum, why use the term Locust??? And why would even the Carob Tree Gum be used in my danged potato!!!!!
I swear, we don't need to be embalmed when we die because we're already embalmed. Cheers to healthy eating.

@MarshaMusselman Well gelatin is made with fish cartilage, but it can also extracted by cow or pig. If you eat the Jell-o, the gelatin is from animal source.

We used to sell a yogurt that was German possibly and it was thickened with tilapia some way. I couldn't eat the yogurt after reading about that.
I heard years ago that I've cream had traces of lighter fluid, whether that was true or not I never checked. But recently someone heard that popular baby foods has small traces of arsenic which is allowed in various adult foods too.

Not any more @amadeo . Unless of course you strictly go Organic. And they wonder why there's a rise in every type of cancer and other ailments.

Seriously!
I avoid all general mills products and store knock offs because they add paint thinner to it.
Seriously, if a parent poured paint thinner in kids food they would be arrested! Why is it safe for companies to add it to Cheerios and other stuff?

You got me @Daelii . There really is no reason to put all this 'other' crap in our foods.
