Grapevine…
Last Grapevine:
Last grapevine I mentioned truth in advertising; I am not done! Let’s start with organic. When organic was first introduced, it was great; although a little pesticide was used, parts per million, the produce was ugly. They never grew in a uniformed way. So they changed the meaning of the word, enabling them to use more pesticides. There will also be pesticides in fruits and vegetables because the farmer has to bring his crop to market and keep it fresh. Sulfur will always be used. If a farm is having an issue with certain bugs in damp weather, sulfur will be used to dry the crop and preserve it.
Vegan vs. Vegetarian: there are laws no that follow vegetarian and vegan. Marketing determines the guide lines, lately you will see, “plant based” Vegetarian or vegan cheese may contain rennet. This coagulates the cheese. It is actually a cow’s intestines. The cow must be dead before being used. It is an enzyme made from cows and is extremely appetizing. Read the label; it may contain rennet. No sugar added, or sugar-free. No additional sugar is added, which comes from fructose, which is natural in sugar but also a component of high fructose corn syrup. This causes diabetes, obesity, and some cancers. Here in the US sugar is processed with “bone char” to make it whiter. FDA says natural flavors can derive from a plant or an animal. FDA, spices are okay contains none of the afore mentioned.
Did you ever read the labels on candles? Tropidelic Clary Age—I guess that is the one Keith Richards uses. Tropidelic: does it contain LSD? Clary, sage, lavender, beetroot, and eucalyptus all contain herbal healing elements. If you believe in herbal medicines, Palo Santo, which means Saint Paul. Many cultures have used this wood for healing. A natural remedy for pain also comes in bracelet form. Why are these ingredients in candles?
If you are really serious about being a vegan or a vegetarian buy nothing in a package. Oops, apples are coated with ground beetle shells called, “black resin,” which is used in epoxy glue.
You heard it through the grapevine.
