    Umm...I Don’t Think You Should Eat That

    Food. We eat it every day. And over the years, it has become quite convenient to acquire. We get in the car and go to the grocery store. Or we might eat out so we don’t have to worry about dishes. But there’s always that lingering question with every purchase that we make. What’s really in our food? Well, this is the question that people have had for hundreds of years. And the answer can sometimes be worse than you think. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥ Source: https://www.clarkemuseum.org/arsenic-and-old-lace-a-victorian-cookbook.html#:~:text=Some%20adulterants%20commonly%20used%20in,garments%20it%20is%20called%20boning. https://www.mdhistory.org/an-update-on-arsenic-green-when-the-world-was-dying-for-color/ https://undark.org/2018/10/05/battling-scourge-embalmed-milk-2/#:~:text=A%20further%20investigation%20indicated%20that,recently%20%E2%80%9CThe%20Poison%20Squad.%E2%80%9D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_Pont-Saint-Esprit_mass_poisoning#:~:text=The%201951%20Pont%2DSaint%2DEsprit,bread%22%20(pain%20maudit). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juA_sYeC23Y
