There are usually question marks in mind about meals prepared by someone else. Most people, especially about the food taken from outside, are curious about how that food comes out of the kitchen. Knowing that the person or company that cooks the food is doing everything correctly and hygienically is a relief for everyone. Although there is a control system for them, it is not enough for most people. What if there’s a lot of disgusting stuff in our food and we just keep eating it without realizing it? Seven myths that are never true but some of us want to believe.
WHY IS CHOCOLATE MILK BROWN?
Why is chocolate milk brown? The straight answer is because cocoa is added to regular milk. However, there is a legend that claims that the brown color covers the blood and pus in the milk of sick cows. One dairy farmer notes that this claim would require an entirely separate truck and set of equipment to process the milk, which is a more expensive effort than disposing of the milk as required by regulation.
ROASTED CHICKEN IS NOT MADE FROM CHICKEN!
The legend about chain fast food restaurants made a worldwide impact. This claim, which was ignited in the 90s, was made about chicken and chicken fried products. Allegedly; Chicken fries were made from mutant chickens raised in the laboratory, not chicken, and fed to humans. The probability of this claim being true is zero. That’s because scientists still haven’t figured out how to properly produce lab-grown meat. In addition, the meat produced in the laboratory is obtained by spending thousands of dollars.
WHAT’S IN HAMBURGER MEAT?
There are so many legends about hamburgers that you must have heard some of them. However, the food theory that has resonated around the world is that hamburger meatballs are not made from suitable meat. There are many people who believe in the myth that worms are used especially in hamburger meat. However; Worm meat is produced nowhere near the scale of beef and is much more expensive.
WHAT CONTAINS FRUIT JELLY?
This is almost a moment of enlightenment! When you eat the fruit jelly that was served to you as a dessert as a child, you do not question what it is made of. Then you learn that its main ingredient is gelatin and that gelatin comes from animals! So far all correct. Gelatin is made from collagen, and collagen is an important protein component of connective tissue. Connective tissue is found in the body of an animal (or human). It is claimed that the nails of animals were used in the making of this jelly. However, this is a very wrong belief. Because the skin and bones of cows are used for collagen.
