Holy shit is this ever disgusting. Apparently, there is a practice in China & Japan of making soy sauce from human hair, when supplies of soybeans are not adequate, or else just to save money. But apparently, there’s evidence to show that this is not only a fucking disgusting practice, but that it causes cancer:
- Human hair makes an alternative to soybeans because it contains the amino acids that give the sauce its flavor. Some say Chinese soy sauce makers who use hair as an ingredient are posing a cancer risk because of the powerful chemicals they use to extract the amino acids from human hair.
Chinese soy sauce manufacturers say they want to continue making human hair sauce because it’s much cheaper than using soybeans. But outrage caused the Chinese government to ban the process, although many unscrupulous soy makers continue prowling barbershops for their economic alternative.
That seriously makes me want to hurl. In slightly more palatable strange food news, a ten year old grill cheese sandwich is on sale on eBay. What’s the catch? It looks like the Virgin Mary. I mean, not really. That’s just what they are saying. I wish I had a business where I took ordinary objects, and then faked them to look like famous and religious figures. Seems like it would be pretty profitable.
