Don’t eat hotdogs.
explains how Katie Couric, Shrillary Clinton, Helen Thomas, Janet Reno, Madeline Albright, and Mandy Grunwald ALL managed to contract Mad Cow Disease......

They’ve got fish scales also to make the stuff shiny.

I think humans should especially avoid brains, kidneys, livers & spleen. Any organ that cleans and filters toxins from the body. Where do you think all the pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, and mandated medicines end up? In the organs.

Like my grandpa used to say: "We use everything but the moo."
Not for blonds... how else will they increase brain cell counts... ?

Explains the Scots, I suppose!
Maybe yours is :) But mine is made with:
Ingredients: helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, beeswax, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, lanolin, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil. May contain: iron oxide, mica, carmine, titanium dioxide
Lanolin comes from sheep wool; tocopheryl comes from the lab but is made from soy, and carmine comes from crushing the life out of zillions of little beetles for their shells.
Happiness is a dad who was in the industry & who once told you how standard lipsticks & makeups are made.
