minus-squareHobo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months agoWhile silcon dioxide is used as a food additive, and is found naturally in a lot of food, it’s regarded as safe and even has been shown to have health benefits. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide That’s wildly different then the claim that Taco Bell was sued, and had to change formula, because they had so much “sand in their meat.”
minus-squaretreefrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·11 months agoI didn’t say it was unsafe. Just that we do eat sand. And yes, I was wrong about TB. Their meat did change drastically in 2012 and I repeated a rumor as to why. My point was just that the poster I was replying to does eat sand and that the organic label, while a misnomer, is far from meaningless.
minus-squarehemko@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·11 months agoNo, but saying “TB was putting sand in their meat” is wildly misleading, when talking about silica as food additive.
