Beaver Butt or Plastic Bottle?

 Some time in the past I did a post about where artificial vanilla flavoring came from in case you hadn't made the connection,it comes from beaver's anal glands. The reason it doesn't stink like other animals anal glands is the beaver's diet. If that isn't enough to make you pay the difference between artificial and real, there is now another choice for vanilla. At least this time they call it by a slightly different name,vanillin,which is being made from plastic bottles. I know scientists are trying to find ways to recycle that awful stuff though I'm not sure making it part of our diet is the answer especially since we are already ingesting micro-plastics without their help. It is more than worth your while to read those labels!
