The food industry is truly disgusting...

So much cheating is going on with production and labeling. "Smoked" sausages that are dumped into a bath of smoke aroma instead of being smoked, "wasabi" that's just horseradish with mustard and food coloring, "old" cheese that's only ripened for a month and got the rest of its taste from a bottle, "fruit yoghurt" that only contains 0.2% fruit but the label can say "with real fruit", etc. The list is endless.

applies in so many fields of contemporary life. The particular one which gets my goat (pun intended) is "leather" which has never been near a real animal in its sorry life.

@ArtieKat oh yes, it's absolutely not limited to food. For example, I saw another episode of a show about issues like these unraveling that bamboo clothing isn't the durable alternative for cotton it's presented to be.

@ArtieKat pretty much most fabric and material has got that way. Good luck finding real Egyptian cotton sheets anymore even the expensive 300 dollar sets are blatant rip offs
