I didn't know that.

Yes I learned that in 5th grade sadly. I was much happier not knowing.

that's new to me, guess I learned something today. Jello = animal bone yummy goodness!

I guess you are not going to want to know the percentage of rat droppings the government allows in chocolate then. Best to remain ignorant about certain processed foods. When you get the urge to investigate, choose a banana or an apple.

lol, switch to SOILENT GREEN then ;)

it's 10 milligrams per pound, the actual percentage is .0002205 percent.


that's what's allowed, not average, not in general, not anything to be concerned about, especially if you know how cacao is processed.

This friend of mine went Vegan for a little bit in college and she wouldn't eat Jell-o because it was made from hooves.

So, yes I did know this about the Jell-o product.

My great-grandmother told me when I was younger that we all would eat a bucket of dirt before we died. I guess she was right.

there are a lot of nutrients in dirt.


mmmmmmmmm

more about cacao processing-

After harvesting, the beans are removed from the pods and piled in heaps. The growers allow the beans to ferment for several days in order to develop the chemical precursors of the chocolate flavor. The beans are then dried and transported to chocolate factories.

At the factory, the cured beans are sorted and impurities such as sand and plant materials are removed . The beans are then roasted. This process makes the bean shells brittle, darkens the color of the beans, and converts the beans' flavor precursors into the aldehydes, esters, lactones, pyrazines, and other groups of compounds that give chocolate its distinctive flavor and aroma.

The next step is to break up the roasted beans into pieces called nibs and remove the thin shells by blowing air through the beans in a process known as winnowing. The nibs are then ground into chocolate liquor--a thick brown liquid that solidifies at about room temperature.

They remove sand and plant material, but leave rat feces? I don't think so. and blowing the air through the beans should blow out any remaining icky stuff.

I'd have assumed you'd have known, just from growing up so close to the birthplace of Jell-O...LeRoy :winkwink:

most vegetarians dont realise toothpaste is made from gelatin( i.e. animals )

Most vegetarians & vegans are fucking stupid anyways. I challenge any one of them who thinks they re living 100% vegan, and i'll find dozens of products they use made from animal parts. Or some stupid fucking thing they do that is 10x more damaging to the environment/animal life than eating meat.

If the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle is anything more than a dietary choice, the person is simply a wannabe elitist fucktard who needs something to cling onto which makes them feel superior.

Mug of kopi luwak anyone?

Hummmmm Osso Bucco

Doesn't everybody know that past the age of 10 or so? It why gelatine isn't vegetarian and things like marshmallows, which contain it, aren't either. I have been using agar agar as a vegetarian alternative.
