Here's the bad news: Cow brains may be an ingredient in your lipstick.
The good news? The FDA is banning it.
The Food and Drug Administration has told cosmetics makers they can no longer use brain and spinal cord tissue from older cattle in lipstick, hair sprays, and other products, reports The Associated Press. The fact that they were used at all will likely surprise millions of women who use these products daily. And that's not the only surprise: The new FDA regulations still allow use of these animal tissues in cosmetics as long as they come from younger cattle.

I’m more worried that the USDA keeps lipstick out of my cow’s brains.
“The Center for Science in the Public Interest warns consumers that it’s virtually impossible to tell from reading the label if cow brains or spinal cord tissue are included in the ingredients.”
The CSPI is full of cow poop.
Aside from the fact that I can read labels just fine and know that sunflower oil and cow brains are not the same thing, the CSPI is given to exaggeration and stretching the facts.

Danke schoen.
If the CSPI is ever correct, it is as a result of “stopped clock syndrome”. They are incredibly willing to bend research to their own devices and are very much in favour of having the government more involved in every aspect of our lives.
Liiipstiiiick! Liiipstiiick!
And their bones are in your jello, and so???
I thought it was the hooves in jello.
Sometimes ya just don’t want to know.
Ah, lest we forget.
Men and women use the ‘scent’ from various small animals as perfume.
Women wear ‘fur’ coats.
Humans have been ‘wearing’ the animals they kill since the beginning of humanity.
For the same reason a dog lies down in the scent from a dead animal. To ‘hide’ our ‘odor’.
Actually, Humans give off many scents, but the bad ones aren’t our scent. It’s the millions of creatures living on your skin that crap all over the place.
What kind?? Pipe organs sound pretty good.
Hooves are used to make glue and wax. :6)
I wondered that, too--and quit wearing lipstick, well over ten years ago.
So what, a lot of people eat cow brains.
I may need counseling.
Great Uncle Archie used to have scrambled eggs with calves brains for breakfast. Outlived two wives and died at 95. The kids had to take his car away when he was 92.
Calf brains alla Toscana is tasty.
