  • You aren’t imagining it, they add various types of gum and additives to slow melting rates of real ice cream, and a lot of ice cream is straight up fake - “frozen dairy dessert” is a euphemism for fake ice cream often padded out with cheaper ingredients like vegetable oils.

    Honestly now-a-days one of the few ways we are going to protect ourselves is to rely on the ingredients list our governments mandate and familiarize ourselves with what products are actually what they claim they are, whether they contain anything questionable, and what euphemisms they use to hide undesirable ingredients. (Hydrogenated Oil == Trans Fat, Natural Sweeteners == Sugar, Corn Syrup == cheap substitute for sugar)

    For those of us in the US (yes I know this is world - sorry) we can only hope the brain worm dead bear boy doesn’t gut the FDA as badly as he promises, or companies are going to start adding all sorts of fun stuff to our food.

    Educate yourself and your friends about “the poison squad”, fascinating story of the kinds of crazy shit they used to put in food. Copper sulfate in canned peas and such.














  • If people don’t wake up, “deregulation” is going to defang the fda, epa, and other agencies that were set up because people were being hurt and killed.

    If you don’t know about it, look up “the poison squad” - people were putting things like borax in food because it made it prettier, it took a guy literally feeding volunteers various things people were adding to food to prove they were poison. There were no rules for what you could sell as food.

    If you want to feel really sad, look up “swill milk” - babies died being fed it because it had such little nutritional value. It often had chalk mixed in to make it appear less watery.

    Capitalism encourages people to hurt others for personal gain. We need these organizations to keep a lid on the worst of us.
