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.

It's obvious that fish oil (Omega-3 supplement) is made from fish, but I didn't know 30 anchovies are killed for every single capsule. 😢 Thankfully the non-oil parts aren't going to waste though. They're turned into fishmeal to be fed to cows. Yes, cows are naturally vegetarian, but fishmeal makes them grow faster and ready for slaughter at a lower price, so win-win, right? 🙄
