FOOD SECRETS

Reddit asked, “What’s a secret the food industry doesn’t want you to know?” Some of the responses:
– “Beekeeper here – there is no such thing as organic honey. A bee can fly up to three miles from a hive to get nectar. It is virtually impossible to guarantee they have not gotten nectar from a chemically treated source.”
– “Olive Garden makes all their necessary pastas for the whole day from 8-10 am every morning. Partially cooked, so when an order comes through, they grab what they need and flash cook it in hot water. Also, it’s just the brand, Barilla.”
– “I work at Dominos, and we are kept afloat by the people who don’t coupon and pay full menu price. You people are the unsung heroes of labor.”
– “MSG is in nearly everything. Totally safe and delicious. And it definitely isn’t what is giving you a migraine. The fact you ate 4000 calories with 3 times your daily salt intake is probably what gave you the headache.”
– “The meatballs at IKEA are made of children who haven’t been picked up by their parents in the play area.”
– “Shrimps are bugs.”
– “Many of the cooks making your food are high and/or drunk.” (* Oh – just like at home.)
– “Add butter to everything you cook at home and you’ll stop wondering why your home cooking isn’t as good as restaurants.”
– “Muffins are cake. Wheat or Bran regardless, it’s still cake. They’re not a healthy breakfast.”
– “Cows make milk not because they are cows but because they are mothers.”
