From the original post: its a common raw-material source for l-cysteine, an amino acid frequently used in baked goods such as pizza dough and bagels somewhat unappetizing I would say... I dont know that it necessarily means making your own would do any good (is it in the flour used, or the other powdered ingredients, the yeast???). It's not the hair they use in pizza or bagels, it's the amino acid. This guy was just making a comparison. Granted, he could have compared it to something a little less disgusting. ;o)

The restaurant I had dinner at last night apparently skipped the middle man and went straight to putting the hair directly in the food.

There are a lot of things I would like to unsee when it comes to food production .... Like maybe where eggs come from???

I agree....nothing like an armpit or pubic hair in your fries!...This happened to a friend of mine at a McDonalds in La Canada, Calif. on our lunch break. I saw the damn thing and my gagging reflex went into overdrive!

According to Rabbi Zushe Yosef Blech at
K A S H R U T . C O M© the amino acid (l-cysteine) is extracted from
human hair by dissolving with hydrochloric acid. He also explains that:
Human hair, while not particularly appetizing, is Kosher, but the source of the hair may pose a problem.

I know... that's why I posted the quoted text originally, so that the person upthread (post 9) I was originally replying to could understand "what the H the pizza angle was". The claim was that it [hair] is a common raw material source for l-cysteine (the amino acid you and the article refer to).

I know they make it by a fermentation process from corn too, which is much more pleasant to think about being mixed in with our pizza, but since our government has sold us out to China, they may be allowing them to use hair that comes off of a dirty barber shop floor. THAT thought alone is enough to make you hurl. LOL Whatever, I'm not going to stop eating pizza unless I find out that American pizza joints are actually using it from that source, and then, it's goodbye pizza. ;o)

When used in the soil around plants it releases a large amount of nitrogen which helps leaves grow. This would be a good use for it.
