Among other things, the story confirmed that “natural flavors come from nature, but not necessarily from what the label implies. For example, strawberry and vanilla flavor can come from the gland in a beaver’s backside.”

  1. You terrify and anger me beyond words.

  2. I suddenly have a craving for those Pepperidge Farm Strawberry Vanilla Shortcake Cookies…mmmm!

  3. That sounds pretty creepy to me. I’ll pass on the beaver butt..

  4. The beaver’s-butt-milk I can handle. But, the mimicking of nature’s flavors to bring about an “addiction” to the processed food i eat? That terrifies and angers me beyond words.
