food for dogs - or for thoughtReading a post on another forum made me think about what I feed my animals, and what I eat myself. I often give my ducks and chickens bread - and how many of us have taken the kids to a pond and fed the ducks with left over bread - well read this, from now on I am making my own bread! 
| Quote: | | A friend was given some bakery waste bread for his pigs, as it was hard he soaked it in a bucket, drained it and fed the bread to the pigs, as he was left with a bucket of the soaked water he tipped it onto his field, the next day the grass was dead, as though sprayed with round up Shocked so yes makes you wonder exactly whats in it!!! |
and then there was this which really scared me
| Quote: | I was surprised by my finding after following this chain of events...after just reading a Have Your Say comment on the BBC website that refereed to Soylent Green and after reading about it on one of the other posts here decided to look it up on Wiki. At the end of the post there was a link to Real World Analogues. Followed this link to:
Real world analogues
The closest parallels in real life to the recycling concepts in 'Soylent Green' are :
1.L-cysteine produced from human hair, often used in bread products.
Maybe this is why it's not suitable for vegetarians?
An extract of the page it took me to is here:
(R)-Cysteine (left) and (S)-Cysteine (right) in zwitterionic form at neutral pH
[edit] Industrial sources
See also Food safety in China#Soy sauce made from human hair.
At the present time, the cheapest source of material from which food-grade L-cysteine may be purified in high yield is by hydrolysis of human hair. Other sources include feathers and pig bristles.[citations needed]The companies producing cysteine by hydrolysis are located mainly in China. There is some debate as to whether or not consuming L-cysteine derived from human hair constitutes cannibalism[citation needed].
I know we put all manner of rubbish into our food but distilling stuff from human hair...ick! |
