BuzzFeed (or BuzzKill, more accurately) is sure to make you a savvy reader of labels. Your favorite wine could well be labeled more accurately, Moet de Field Mouse. The innocent ‘MOG’ on the label stands for ‘Materials Other than Grapes,’ and how!
Do you love a nice cold beer? Wait until you hear what (or who) they use to filter the yeast. I want to know who first thought of using the very organic filter – and for heaven sake, why!?
Oh – you’ll be skipping pop (or soda) at the drive-thru, unless you like playing the odds…You daredevil!
I can just hear those of you who drink healthy beverages clucking your tongues. Perhaps you lean toward commercial fruit juices? Surely ‘organic’ juices and milk substitutes are safe! It’s possible, but don’t feel overly smug unless you like crushed, boiled beetles. If it’s any consolation, they are a beautiful crimson color when added to your juice! I confess, at one time I felt quite superior as I drank only carcinogenic seaweed. Of course it was labeled ‘a healthy milk substitute!’ A milk substitute which also causes ulcers! The questionable ingredient, like the name for the beetles, is very familiar on many food labels which we cheerfully ignore, so ubiquitous are they. Perhaps good old sugary Kool-Aid IS the safest thing to drink after all ?
