Title: Gawker Media Saves Humanity Post by: Ookii on September 18, 2007, 12:25:29 PM As you can see from a recent post at the Consumerist:
Quote Did you know that ingredients on ingredients labels are listed in their descending order of proportion? Say you're shopping for aloe. If WATER is one of the first ingredients, it's a ripoff. Similarly, if you're trying to buy healthy foods you would want to avoid products where SUGAR is one of the first ingredients (also be aware of the different names sugar can hide under, like CANE JUICE or FRUCTOSE). Yes this was an actual post http://consumerist.com/consumer/nutrition/the-earlier-ingredients-are-on-a-label-the-more-there-is-inside-300798.php (http://consumerist.com/consumer/nutrition/the-earlier-ingredients-are-on-a-label-the-more-there-is-inside-300798.php) What is the internet coming to?

There are a LOT of things that I don't want to eat, drink, or apply to my skin undiluted. I mean, aloe-type stuff alone -- you'd need to suspend it in some base medium to actually be able to apply it decently, for one.

Am I going to die? :| Title: Re: Gawker Media Saves Humanity Post by: Merusk on September 18, 2007, 02:48:07 PM Yes, but if you sign all your assets over to me I can assure you a place in the afterlife of your choice.
