the food industry’s ingredient black box, even they don’t really know everything in a “natural” or “artificial” flavor. 👀 ⬇️ there is really no practical difference between a natural and artificial flavor, in fact 80% of a natural flavor can be ARTIFICIAL! i’ve seen companies use a “natural and artificial blend” and only label it as “natural”. why are they an issue and why i don’t use them in lovebird? - can contain hundreds of the most processed and worst ingredients allowed in food - lack of transparency, you don’t know what you are eating even if it’s a small amount - designed to make food addictive and boost profit for food companies - are always in ultraprocessed food, so you are eating something not great to start with i believe ingredients from nature are best so lab made “flavors” of any variety are not necessary and likely detrimental to your health. honey is a superfood and tastes amazing so use the real thing! 🍯
