> contained peanuts and not sawdust.

It is incredible (in the strict sense: hard to believe) to discover that many foods are "fake", or contain things that are not supposed to be there.

I suggest a few readings:

0) the book "Real Food / Fake Food" [0]. This is just amazing. Highly recommend it.

1) the book "extra virginity" [1]

2) article about "truffle fraud" [2]

3) article about "fish fraud" [3]

The list could be almost infinite, of course.
