    Look on any processed food label. It might say natural flavors.

    Now google "natural flavors"

    Secretions from a beavers #### were used in the past to make natural flavors.

    Theres more to it, but us humans do some f'd up things with animals. Like who was the first person to taste the fluid from a beavers ####? Wtf.



    Why is the medical term for the hole in your butt censored? Every proper medical term seems to be censored on this forumn.

    Then there's a tiny island off the coast of Alaska with a population of deer that have evolved to have short, stocky legs. The island is steep and heavily forested, a temperate rain forest with thick undergrowth they can tunnel through like wild pigs. The tides have huge swings, about 40' between high and low tide. During low tide the deer climb down rock cliffs to dine on seaweed. It's said their meat is presalted and has a slight hint of seafood. You can "stalk" them by drifting up in a boat.

    As long as it's deep fried with Chipotle sauce, Americans will flock to eating beaver butt.

    Speaking of beaver butt. Most don't know that the "natural flavoring" ingredient that's in 1000s of American ingestible items most people use daily come from a beaver's butt.

    LOL! If I don't know the ingredients on the packaging, I don't buy. It amazes me how many trucks with Hazmat placards enter food production companies. The most sickening thing I ever smelled was parked, waiting my turn at a Campbell's Soup plant.

    There's a saying that you never want to watch laws or sausages being made. I've watched both, but I can't honestly say which is more gross. The kill floor at the meat packing plant was just as gross as watching a Senator take money for a bad bill.

    Agree 100%, I'm starting that journey now. It's very easy but society makes it seem complicated

    Here's a hint. Any time you are watching another commercial for crap food, simply raise your right hand, extend your fist, and raise the middle finger of freedom. That goes a long way to extricating yourself from the absolute idiocy of advertising.

    Once you have done THAT, then you are far more in the emotional space to make better decisions.
