Definitely will not read this article. We really try to eat organic and healthy....but some pre-packaged food find their way into our cabinets. Will keep my head in the sand on this one!!! Going to enjoy wine time this afternoon with some snacks!!! But that said, it is good of you to let people know about the information.

I read something about how many spiders we swallow while sleeping and I believe it. I once read a consumer report magazine about jelly and preserves and the percentage of bugs ground up in the jars, didn't buy any for a long long time.

That's one way for the "organics" to promote their product. The article is very interesting and thanks for posting. But...
the idea that "organics", whose website this is, are actually "organic" is simply not true. Some things are organic, but I'm not sure the regulation of labeling foods "organic" is very good and very often the products are overpriced...

I had a certified nutritionist tell me years ago "If you can't tell what it was when it grew, don't eat it." Makes it easy to stick to healthier eating. (Have you ever seen a pasta or bread tree? Me neither.). I also like the warning "If you can't pronounce it, dont

Too much scaremongering going on in that article. Carrageen moss is a small frond like seaweed that has been used to thicken foodstuffs for many years before gelatine or agar agar become popular. I am not sure why boiled up animal bones (to obtain gelatine) is preferable to a product that grows - a form of seaweed. Very well known in Ireland for years as a setting agent for use in puddings/desserts e.g. panne cotta, and savoury dishes. It is foraged from the seaside, and does need rinsing to remove the taste of the sea. As with other things in life, this knowledge often disappears in a generation.
