Yikes! Food that ain’t necessarily food!

There was even a hit song in the early eighties where they sing a verse about this stuff!
I come from the Land of Down Under!

Lever pre-2000

Same processes used for the manufacture of soap, margarine and munitions

William Hesketh Lever, the son of a shop keeper, started selling 'Sunlight' soap to the workers in the 'dark Satanic mills' of the North of England in 1884. Five years later he was manufacturing soap at his own factory in 'Port Sunlight' near Liverpool.

By 1911 Lever Brothers was producing one third of the UK's soap. Lever's success was built by the exercise of power over his work-force, heavy brand advertising and a supply of cheap raw materials. Lever bought out competing firms and by 1890 had set up soap factories in Australia, Canada, the US, Germany and Switzerland. The First World War increased women's purchasing power in the UK and brought prosperity to the US, pushing up sales of Lux soap flakes. In the same period, Lever increased glycerine production for munitions and began to make margarine, using cheap oils kept out of Germany by the British naval blockade.

Safe and stable edible material having reinforced concrete-like structure
USPTO Application #: 20080213412

Abstract: It is intended to provide a stable and safe edible material. By mixing a dehydrated edible fiber mass and an edible non-fiber material, an edible material, which is superior in shape retention properties to the dehydrated edible fiber mass and the edible non-fiber material, can be obtained. This edible material has a high stability and a high safety because of having a reinforced concrete-like structure wherein the edible fiber serves as the reinforcing steel while the edible non-fiber material serves as the concrete. A liquid oil such as EV olive oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil or soybean oil can be easily and safely converted into a solid fat merely by adding from 2 to 3% of a popular food material that has been naturally and safely taken since early times. In producing the above edible material, no trans processing that has been warned as the dangerousness thereof by the governments and public corporations in Europe, USA and Canada is needed. Moreover, this edible material sustains a favorable hardness within a temperature range of from −20° C. to 200° C. without becoming too hard at low temperatures as margarine or melting at high temperatures. When put into the mouth, however, it quickly liquefies and tastes wonderful. Water may be added thereto, though it is not always necessary. It prevents butter or chocolate from melting even at +200° C. Furthermore, a convenient and tough edible plastic material can be obtained therefrom without needing water! (end of abstract)

  1. Some other good ones:Sunny-D, which is sugar water (or more likely high-fructose corn syrup) that looks like orange juice and sits beside the orange juice in store coolers. The commercials try to tell you that all families drink it and have been doing so as a tradition for generations.Health bars, which are usually a form of a candy bar, that make some claim like “made with real milk” or “a half cup of milk in every bar.” Just drink the milk instead and forgeddaboutit. 😀 “Made with real fruit” is another fave. Heaven forbid you just bite into an apple or fresh strawberry. Fresh fruit and produce is expensive because it doesn’t get big government subsidies like the corn industry does. Almost everything that is processed has some type of corn derivative in it.Yet another fave. GM (genetically modified) food is sometimes advertised as a way to feed a starving planet using less land. The problem is usually the *distribution* of food and/or the means to buy it, not the capacity of the planet to grow it. Then again, this may change as farmland is sucked up to grow corn as fuel for cars.
