Debunking Viral Claims About Organic Food and Grocery Store Ingredients

Summary & Verdict

💡TL;DR: Some truth on food labels, but too spicy on the “poisons and oil” claims.

🚦Hmmm 🤨 - 6/10

🔥Hot Take: Pricey organic? Yeah, that’s market stuff, not poison plots. Europe’s ingredient lists are often shorter—but nope, U.S. food isn’t made from motor oil.

Claim Breakdown:

🎯 Reality Check: Hmmm 🤨 (6/10)

📝 Why: Organic usually costs more, but calling regular food “poison” is heat, not fact. Most food additives are legally approved and not actual poisons.

🐟 Biggest Whopper:

Most of the ingredients are just byproducts of oil production. That’s some deep-fried nonsense!

🙌 Actually True:

Europe and the U.S. often have different ingredient lists for the same food—good spot!
