Do they farm-raise beavers for that?

In some foods which are coloured red artificially the red colour actually comes from an extract of an insect called cochineal. To get only a little bit of the colour, thousands of those animals are crushed.

One vanilla bean, is $11 on average if you go to the spices section. Literally, just one is that expensive. And it's the size and shape of a long green bean.

So, I was wondering how vanilla ice cream doesn't cost like $30 for a pint.

In our fake culture did you really expect real vanilla beans to be used?

Most people have never even tasted a real vanilla bean. Real, fresh, raw, ground vanilla is amazing! Put it in your smoothies.

No. Obviously, I suspected the vanilla was fake. That's a duh, right there. Everything's artificial.

I expected that it was made out of some synthetic blend of chemicals and other stuff. 

What I didn't expect was that it was made out of beaver butts.

Even organic kind?

I also noticed bananas vary in taste from cluster to cluster.

Banans are in a berry family, btw.

When you say it that way it sounds a little bit more appealing.  Never tried it organic before.

I hope you're joking.

Most maple syrup is just dressed up corn syrup. No restaurant serves real maple syrup.
