I hesitated posting this thinking it couldn't be true but there seems to be more articles stating this as fact. I think if I understand it right, they didn't or don't put actual baby parts in their drink or food, but they do use aborted baby liver cells (?) for taste testing. it seems like they could have used animals but choose to use fetal cells.
Feel free to tell me this is not true.

"Kraft, PepsiCo, Nestle, work with Semonyx, a California-based [company] that uses aborted embryonic cells to test fake flavoring chemicals.
The aborted human fetal cell line is known as “HEK-293,” and it is used to see how the human palate will react to synthetic flavors. Since most of today’s processed food lacks flavor, companies like Semonyx are hired to develop flavors on their own."

It is awful what is being put in food now days. I am glad there is a list of those foods provided in the article so I can print that out and avoid buying those foods. More of our food is coming from foreign countries and who know what is being put in the food coming from those countries, or chemicals that are being used.

I was able to grow some veggies this summer ( mostly tomatoes, but I would really like to grow more next summer. Like you said, who knows what is in some of our foods. And anyway, these were the best tasting tomatoes if I say so myself LOL.
