Chew On This


I grabbed this after reading a review here. Now I know how important and powerful those last few items on the products' ingredient list are.

Did you know that fast foods (and other processed foods) are frozen & processed so badly that they have usually lost their taste and colour? And that what you so relish - is actually the result of carefully concocted cocktails of artificial flavours and colours?
  • A single drop of flavour can cause an entire swimming pool to taste like freshly cut grass.
  • Hotdogs are naturally grey in colour.
  • Margarine is naturally grey in colour.
  • There aren't enough strawberries in the world to give you that strawberry flavour in everything you eat - most of it is artificial.
  • One of the most common red food colourings around is extracted from the skin of a bug found in Africa or something.

I'm no longer such a big fast food fan. And Tin Hang Zai has strict orders to eat only the Pixie Milkshake where possible.
