Food Facts.........

[Serpo]

Did you know that wild rice isn't really rice? It's actually a type of grass seed. Did you know that many bottled, flavored "tea" beverages contain no tea at all? Or that soy protein is made using a highly explosive chemical solvent that can be used to manufacture bombs? These and hundreds of other amazing food facts are revealed in the new "Amazing Food Fact Machine" just launched by Natural News.

"75% of commercially produced bacon is made from meat glued pig penis"

Feel even better knowing that the pork products I have are from a hog that I helped raise, fed, and took to the slaughter house that doesn't take part in commercial processing. All done by hand and even saw the smoke shack for the bacon and sausage.

I don't believe this one:

"U.S. law grants the Coca-Cola company a unique exemption to import coca leaves while prohibiting anyone else from importing what might otherwise become a popular superfood"

Seems like an awful lot of penis if 75% of bacon is made from this.

i consider mike adams "the health ranger" to be the alex jones of the natural food movement. he's good for waking people up, then you realize a lot of what he does is just hype stuff to sell stuff.

Says gelatin is made from boiled pigskins, I thought it was seaweed... okay.

i once worked at a knox gelatin plant in college. 100% of it at the plant i worked at it was made from pig + cow bones.

here's a good one:

Thousands of years ago, indigenous Mexicans developed a method to increase the nutritional content of corn that is still widely used to this day.

really? what was it? ::)

During the depression my grandfather fed his family corn meal that was home made. You soak it in lye to soften and remove the outer shell of the corn seed.

In the '70s when soybeans hit $13 and farmers couldn't afford to feed soy protein Triple F feeds came up with something called "Golden Pro". You extrude ground corn under lower temperatures (180 deg F) with urea to improve the protein content. I doubt if the indians did this though.

Pigs

Pigs have some of the largest penises relative to body size. Some pigs can have penises up to a foot and a half long. http://dailygut.com/index.php?i=2916

Chemical soy oil extraction plants use hexane (low grade gasoline) to pull out 100% of the soy oil. A plant such as this run by ADM or Cargill will have to replenish their hexane tanks to the tune of 300 gallons a day because they don't get it all back. Some goes into the air (EPA complains) or into the workers (OSHA complains) or is left in the meal or oil to enter the food chain (FDA has no complaint on residual amounts left).

TBH I don't give shit if bacon is pig penis. It's meat and it tastes fucking great.

"beef sphincter is what gives sausage it's distinctive flavor"

Ok so you can see I'm making these up....as much as I like some good ol pan fried pig peen.

Mikey is about making some ethical money for the most part. He doesn't really pimp out snake oil products too often, but in the end he's a guy with a website that needs to pay bills.

Processing with Lime


During the depression my grandfather fed his family corn meal that was home made. You soak it in lye to soften and remove the outer shell of the corn seed.

In the '70s when soybeans hit $13 and farmers couldn't afford to feed soy protein Triple F feeds came up with something called "Golden Pro". You extrude ground corn under lower temperatures (180 deg F) with urea to improve the protein content. I doubt if the indians did this though.

Yep, here is the Wiki page info:

The traditional food preparation method of corn (maize), nixtamalization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization), by native New World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World) cultivators who had domesticated corn required treatment of the grain with lime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide), an alkali (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali). It has now been shown that the lime treatment makes niacin nutritionally available and reduces the chance of developing pellagra.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellagra#cite_note-3) When corn cultivation was adopted worldwide, this preparation method was not accepted because the benefit was not understood. The original cultivators, often heavily dependent on corn, did not suffer from pellagra. Pellagra became common only when corn became a staple that was eaten without the traditional treatment.

Adoption of the nixtamalization process did not accompany the grain to Europe and beyond, perhaps because the Europeans already had more efficient milling processes for hulling grain mechanically. Without alkaline processing, maize (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize) is a much less beneficial foodstuff, and malnutrition struck many areas where it became a dominant food crop. In the nineteenth century, pellagra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellagra) epidemics were recorded in France, Italy, and Egypt, and kwashiorkor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwashiorkor) hit parts of Africa where maize had become a dietary staple.

I made this post here before - Important to know if you want to survive on corn. Niacin = Vit B3
