It doesn't appear to be sanitary...

It doesn't appear to be sanitary...

Fewer people ever became ill from food stuffs of every type back then with questionable sanitation practices than those who become ill or contract debilitating diseases today from food stuffs made with today's strict food preparing regulations, especially when you factor in all of the unpronounceable additives included in them

Nope... nothing sanitary about that!

Sanitary, no picking your nose, scratching your behind or sneezing, its ok if they fall on the floor, when sweeping put the good ones in the box.

I am with Frank on this one...

We laugh at the “unsanitary conditions” in the photo. BUT, I would rather eat one of those old cone off the floor than a “modern” one out of a “sanitary” factory.

I bet those old cones did not have;

Mono- and di-glycerides which promote inflammation and obesity, raise LDL cholesterol levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels. Made up in part of fatty acids, mono- and diglycerides may contain trans fats, either when manufactured in a lab, or if they come from an animal or vegetable sources, when exposed to heat for processing into packaged and prepared foods.

OR

Polysorbate 80 with its links to various side effects, according to a 2018 study. Small amounts of undigested polysorbate 80 in meals may promote bacterial translocation, explaining why Crohn’s disease is becoming more common.

Polysorbate 80 also links to a variety of systemic responses (e.g., hypersensitivity, non-allergic anaphylaxis, rash) and injection- and infusion-site adverse effects in medication formulations (ISAEs; e.g., pain, erythema, thrombophlebitis).

Another study showed that polysorbate 80 causes a patient’s anaphylactoid response, which was non-immunologic. In an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot investigations, there were no findings of polysorbate-specific IgE antibodies, supporting the nonimmunologic origin of the anaphylactoid response.

According to rare case reports of liver toxicity, Polysorbate 80 may contribute to liver damage with the IV version of amiodarone. According to amiodarone package labeling, polysorbate 80 leaches DEHP (dioctyl phthalate) from PVC, and one should strictly observe dose instructions.

WE all all killing ourselves with these chemicals that have been shown as “safe” by the FDA.

Give good ole old fashioned dirt anyway thank you!!!
