If you need another reason to avoid the processed foods that have taken over the American diet, here it is.
A cell phone video from inside the Kellogg’s factory in Memphis, Tennessee was just released, and it showed a man urinating on the conveyor belt full of cereal. This wasn’t a video shot by someone else to expose something horrifying. Nope. The urinator himself is the one who proudly took the video.
(Warning: If you’re eating a bowl of Rice Krispies right now, you might lose them. Nasty.)
Melissa Dykes of The Daily Sheeple pointed out something even more appalling. (And you probably thought it was already as gross as it could be):
Potentially “affected” (aka peed on) products include Rice Krispies Treats, Rice Krispies Treats cereal, and other puffed rice products. The company believes the video was recorded at Kellogg’s Memphis factory back in 2014, which means that all of the urination-tainted food has likely already been eaten.
Let me reiterate that. A bunch of people have already eaten peed-on cereal and cereal bars and had absolutely no idea what they consumed. Do you really think this is an isolated incident? Who knows what kind of nose-picking, hiney-scratching, not-washing-hands-after-the-bathroom shenanigans are actually going on in those food factories?
Just last week, a study revealed that more than half of what Americans consumed is “ultra-processed” products, like Rice Krispies. Not only does this mean that your food isn’t actually food in many cases, but also that you are at the mercy of disgruntled and/or mentally unstable people who work on the assembly lines and don’t care one little bit about the products they’re in charge of. Do you really, truly want to eat stuff like that?
You really do have options.
- Take the challenge and go 100 days without any type of processed food.
- Cook from scratch.
- Learn how to eat again with this e-course (I took it and it’s excellent!)
- Here are 99 healthy meals and snacks if you don’t/can’t cook. (There are a few packaged items in this list that you could easily make yourself.)
Whatever option you choose, do your family a favor. Don’t put yourselves at the mercy of whatever person happens to be working the assembly line on the day your breakfast was put in a plastic package.
That is disgusting!
How sad that people would do this. 🙁
Genuinely don’t see what the big deal is. Pee is sterile and I’m sure there are much worse things in mass produced food that we eat every day
Really? You really don’t see what the big deal is?
How about the massive disrespect?
And you’re wrong. Urine is not sterile. That’s a myth that originated in the 50s and has been disproven by science in more than one study. (https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/gory-details/urine-not-sterile-and-neither-rest-you)
And how about the fact that most folks really don’t want to consume the bodily wastes of others?
But, hey, if it doesn’t gross you out, more power to ya. 🙂
I don’t easily get grossed out, but that video, Grossed. Me. Out.
I unfortunately saw this on both the local and national news this morning–and once was definitely too much. My roommate/brother, who is rarely grossed out by anything, was over this. The report said this was done in 2014 during a labor dispute–makes me wonder what else might have been done that we didn’t hear about. Yuck! Just goes to show how low people have sunk these days.
This is beyond disgusting. Makes me think of what else is currently being done by equally stupid/brain dead people. And people I know wonder why I don’t like to eat prepared “food”.
When I was a young teen, my dad told me that if I needed to eat in a restaurant to pick one with an open kitchen. For those who don’t know what that is, its a restaurant that doesn’t have the kitchen facilities in a different room. When its open, you can watch your meal being prepared. Did the chef drop it on the floor and then put it on your plate or did it get tossed? It also lets you check the level of cleanliness. I remember going into a restaurant, chef was okay but the can of roach spray above the grill was the turn-off.
Control what you can and think twice before using factory foods.
I hope they found out who this is and had them arrested.
