I was reading fast food nation and while I already know how unhealthy processed foods are, something hit a nerve...
You know when you buy something and one of the ingredients is listed as "artificial flavor."

"A typical artificial strawberry flavor contains the following ingredients: amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl valerate, anethol, anisyl, formate, benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid, cinnamyl isobutrate, cinnamyl valerate, cognac essential oil, diacetyl, dipropyl ketone, ethyl acetate, ethyl amylketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl heptanoate, ethyl heptylate, ethyl lactate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate, ethyl nitrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate, heliotropin, hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10% solution in alcohol), alpha-ionone, isobutyl anthranilate, isobutyl butyrate, lemon essential oil, maltol, 4-methylacetophenone, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, methyl heptine carbonate, methyl naphthyl ketone, methyl salicylate, mint essential oil, neroli essential oil, nerolin, neryl isobutyrate, orris butter, phenethyl alcohol, rose, rum ether, gamma-undecalactone, vanillin, and solvent."

orris butter, phenethyl alcohol, rose, rum ether, gamma-undecalactone, vanillin, and solvent."

Can I use it to clean my chain?

(In my best Homer Simpson voice)

Mmmmmmmmmmmm ... methyl benzoate. :D

Years ago, my wife posed a very interesting question to me: "Why is it that we put the artificial lemons in lemonade, and we put the the real lemons in furniture polish ?".

I still don't know why.

Maybe consistency of flavoring?

It makes me sick to know that I ingest all of those chemicals. Ugh.

oh yummy, makes me rethink a lot of foods...

Stop it! You're making me hungry...

and solvent?

I sure hope that by solvent they are not talking about mineral spirits...

that's why here at home we call that merchandise, not food.
