That bright red color in candy, yogurt, and drinks? Sometimes it comes from crushed parasitic insects called cochineal. Yep—bugs. Turned into a dye known as carmine. So when people say “they’ll make us eat bugs,” surprise… we’ve been snacking on them for years. 😅 Is it being removed? Not...

American Cattle Rancher Exposing That Beef Sold In American Grocery Stores Doesn’t Look Like Natural Beef “They pump gases into the packaging that artificially create a red color — the color of the meat doesn't necessarily indicate it's fresh” “I get a lot of questions sometimes like when people buy our meat they're like, well, I opened it up and it's not red. Why isn't it red? And the reason is, is because the only way to keep it red is as they pump gases into the packaging that artificially create a red color. So the meat naturally is never that red. When you cut it and it's first exposed to oxygen momentarily, it will bloom. It's called, it'll redden up just a little bit and then it'll instantly start to brown out unless you pump gases into the packaging for about 10 minutes and artificially create this like red pinkish color. So we get that question a lot. And it's like, they're like, your meat's not fresh because it's brown. It's like, well, actually it's way fresher. Our meat is brown because five minutes later, it turns to that brown color and then we flash freeze it. So you're like eating meat that's like metabolic at five minutes old versus that red fresh meat in the grocery store might be a month old. And it sat like that, but they're using artificial gases in that packaging to crea completely unnatural. — If your packaged meat then it is it is filled w to create that. It doesn' look like that. But like believe it or not, it's been sitting out for 11 days. So how could it still look so fresh? It's because it's being packed and gassed in a special process that most people never heard about, using carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, which keeps the meat looking fresh and bright red. We left two cuts of lamb out at room temperature. One was gas packed, the other, no gas. After a few days, the untreated meat turns a dark, unappealing color. But the gas-packed meat stays red, even after being left out for eight days. The only visible sign of spoilage is the package puffing out and a bad odor when opened. We had the meat analyzed in a lab, and it's no surprise that both cuts are loaded with bacteria. The color of the meat doesn't necessarily indicate it's fresh”

WOW 🚨 Big Food found a loophole to still use toxic ingredients but not have to list them in the ingredients list This means we are buying items we think have certain things we’re watching for removed but they really aren’t Since most of us are getting better at reading the back of the box, big food has moved a lot of chemicals from the ingredient list to the processing list “Under FDA regulations, if a substance is used during the manufacturing of a food but is removed in some manner, it's classified as a processing aid. Processing aids fall under the incidental additive rule, which exempts very real and present chemicals from being disclosed on the ingredient label” This is FDA rules (21 CFR 101.100) that exempt certain substances from the ingredient list. These include processing aids and substances added during manufacturing but removed before final packaging or present at insignificant levels with no functional effect in the finished food. They fall under “incidental additives.” Here’s a simple example - Vanilla beans are crushed. - A chemical solvent (like hexane or ethanol) soaks them to pull out the flavor compounds. - The solvent is mostly removed with heat and vacuum (processing aid). - What’s left is the extract that goes into your ice cream, yogurt, or baked goods So what they’re saying is, because those chemicals should be mostly removed during the processing part, then they don’t need to be listed at all on the ingredients This is so deceptive because there are still trace amounts of those chemicals in the product

Norway flew its own chefs and a half-ton of food to the World Cup in America. The headlines told you it was because the team thinks American food is poison. That part is not true. Their head chef said it plainly. They brought salmon, halibut, brown cheese, and pressed their juice from local oranges, for dietary consistency and a taste of home. Not a boycott. But the story put a spotlight on something that is true and documented. The US food supply runs on thousands of additives. A lot of them were never independently tested, and a long list of them are banned or restricted in Europe. Your sandwich bread can contain azodicarbonamide, a dough conditioner that is illegal in the EU and the UK. It is in the buns, the bagels, and the fresh-baked loaves here. Some American oranges are dyed with Citrus Red 2, a petroleum dye allowed on the peel and rated a possible carcinogen. The color you read as ripe can be painted on. Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6. In Europe, foods with these dyes carry a warning that they may affect activity and attention in children. In America, no warning, no label, just brighter cereal. This is not an accident. It is the law. In Europe a chemical has to be proven safe before it goes in your food. In America it stays in your food until somebody proves it dangerous. Same brands, same packaging, different recipe, because Europe makes them reformulate and we do not. You do not need a private chef and a cargo plane. You need to read the label. Cut the sugar and the grains and most of this stuff disappears on its own. Real food does not come with an ingredient list you cannot pronounce.

.Erik Voorhees: It’s actually good, from the Trojan horse perspective, that Bitcoin was traceable enough for traditional institutions to tolerate it. “When Bitcoin came out, everyone called it private, thought of it as private. It was referred to as anonymous in every news story. And in some ways, it is very private and very anonymous. But the truth is that it’s also extremely trackable and traceable. It is not private in reality. And the question is, should it have been from the start? And at first I thought, yes, it should have been more private. And that was a mistake in its design. However, I think if Bitcoin had been anonymous truly from the start, like a Zcash or a Monero, it would have had such antagonism from the state. I don’t know that the state could have snuffed it out, but they would have tried much harder. And I think it’s actually good, from the Trojan horse metaphor perspective, that it was traceable enough that the traditional institutions could tolerate it. They’ve never liked it, but they could at least tolerate it because there is some traceability. And that has allowed Bitcoin to grow. And I think in its shadow, that other crypto assets are actually anonymous is very healthy. The strength of cryptocurrency as a concept in society, I think, is served best when Bitcoin itself is not perfectly private, but other assets are. That is a very difficult thing, I think, for the state to combat. And that decentralization of attributes is really, really crucial. So, yeah, I’m very glad that there are other coins that are private. I want there to be more of them, and I want them to be more popular. And I think it’s okay that Bitcoin itself is not.”

The gasses pumped into American grocery store meat are a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide binds with myoglobin in the meat, which keeps the meat looking bright red for weeks Other countries have banned using carbon monoxide on meat American cattle rancher exposing that beef sold in american grocery stores doesn’t look like natural beef “They pump gases into the packaging that artificially create a red color — the color of the meat doesn't necessarily indicate it's fresh” “I get a lot of questions sometimes like when people buy our meat they're like, well, I opened it up and it's not red.

Critics argue it mislead consumers because the meat can look fresh even after it has spoiled, potentially hiding spoilage signs like off odors or discoloration until the package is opened. In America there's no requirement to label meat treated with these gases, which has led to debates about transparency and consumer rights. Some countries have banned or restricted the use of carbon monoxide in meat packaging due to these concerns.
