If you going to do that, you may as well get a chocolate shaped turkey instead!

Unfortunately, in many cases you can't even trust the labels. Your cheese may show "rennet" as an ingredient but is really Fermentation-Produced Chymosin (FPC).

Well, I didn't list it as I would not want that to come across as an endorsement or recommendation. But, since you asked ... The New Arthritis Cure: Eliminate Arthritis and Fibromyalgia Pain Permanently by Dr. Bruce Fife ND He's a big proponent of coconut oil. (And I have largely switched to...

Many years ago I read a book that suggested only buy things to eat that have 5 ingredients or less and avoid anything with crazy long names that are hard to pronounce. And, while that's over simplified and can miss thigs that should be avoided, it really is a decent mind frame / place to start...

I think this really hits the nail on the head. For decades the common nutrition mantra was 'eating fats makes you fat' and 'eating a high cholesterol diet give you high cholesterol.' The studies behind those were flimsy at best and mostly financed/promoted by people who profited from it ...

This had me thinking of an article that just expired on Mercola.com. Forever Chemicals Found in 88% of Kale Tested Fortunately, I saved it to PDF, now attached for your reading pleasure. The sample size is ridiculously low. But it still has some good information that can make one pause to...

I've seen the adulterated oil a number of times ... but what can the end consumer really do? Not sure how to test those things at home.

Personally, I'm not a fan of using our tax code to manipulate peoples behaviors. Think of your least favorite politician ... do you want that person dictating your decisions by controlling taxes? I posted this link in post #67...

sorry. stream of consciousness :)

peanut M&M's .... I just can't buy them or I'll eat them all.

Just stumbled upon this today on emulsifiers: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/29/the-truth-about-emulsifiers-gut-health-microbiome (not one my my usual go-to sources for information and I haven't checked out the sources)

here's something I just read that pertains to the discussions a bit. It's from a human health perspective, but does discuss animal wellbeing also. (and really, that is sort of consistent with the OP.)...
