Are You A Label Reader?

Vanilla & Raspberry Ice Cream
Then you may have seen castoreum listed on vanilla & raspberry ice cream.
What they don't tell you on the label is that castoreum is the anal secretions & urine from a beaver. While not known to be harmful, knowing there's beaver pee in your ice cream may help you cut empty calories!

Chewing Gum
Gum often contains lanolin, found in skincare products. It softens up your hands, and your chewing gum.
Lanolin is the oily secretion found in sheep wool. Every time you chew, you're chewing sheep sweat.

Always read the label is the most stupid saying ever, especially if you are a man. We never read the label.

Do you know milk is the secretion from the mammary glands of cows? And that meat is the muscle, fat and connective tissues of dead animals?

(oh, and as there aren't huge beaver farms across USA and Europe, I think it's safe to say there isn't much beaver musk in ice cream)

Yebbut it tastes nice. As long as it isn't poisonous, I'll let my taste buds decide.

We have chickens, I often eat the produce of their innards almost the moment they get squeezed out of their arse.

OK, a beaver's anus tastes of raspberry and vanilla. Fair enough, but who was the first person to find that out and what the hell were they doing at the time?

Maybe they were from the same bloodline as the first person to look at a calf suckling and think, well if its good enough for a baby cow I'll get on me knees and see if I can have some.


History must be full of brave but unfortunate people who saw a berry and thought hmmmm that looks tasty, only to find out it was poisonous and served their gatherer tribe as a dire warning to future generations not to eat the red ones from that bush over there.

Nah, somebody got caught rimming a beaver and had to think on their feet to come up with an excuse. Now everyone's pretending it's a delicacy and nobody's got the cojones to admit that it all just started because of somebody's weird fetish for woodland creatures. It's the emperor's new clothes with bumjuice.

I'm allergic to everything (thanks parents for your SUPER genes) so I have to if I don't want to end up in A&E every few days, or use up the world's epipen supply..

You'd be amazed at the products which now contain yogurt, for example. Chocolates, crisps, pizzas.

Stupid yogurts.
