Also, "If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't." Very nice! <br /><br />To answer your question, I remember seeing a large number of ice creams advertised as having fewer than five ingredients. Considering that the main ones were milk (from conventional cows), sugar, and "natural" (sic) or artificial flavors, I wasn't too tempted.<br /><br />Beaver anal glands?! Sounds like something out of oriental medicine. Probably good for the libido!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198921079835614264noreply@blogger.com
