DailyDirt: Homemade Meals And Ingredients
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Everyone likes a good home-cooked meal. And making everything “from scratch” seems to be a popular thing to do, especially if you have entirely too much free time. If you’re up to the challenge, here are just a few pointers to recipes that you might want to try someday.
- Making a small batch of your own artisanal High-Fructose Corn Syrup is possible with a DIY kit that includes glucose isomerase and everything you’ll need to produce HFCS in your home kitchen. That lab-produced enzyme prevents this product from being labelled “organic” — but rest assured that the result will contain a carbon-based food. [url]
- Homemade Soylent is a DIY liquid diet, made from blending up a bunch of powdered nutrients. It doesn’t taste so great, and you’ll probably miss chewing and the texture of regular foods… but liquid diets are at the very least a time-saver since it doesn’t require cooking (or that pesky chewing). [url]
- Gourmet marshmallows can be handmade with a wide array of flavors like lemon coconut, chai and cherry chocolate chip. Making your own marshmallows isn’t rocket surgery, but the tricky part is making them shelf-stable…. [url]

Why NOT make HFCS at home? At least you know exactly what you put into it….

It’s like doing your own ironying.
Re: Re:
Why stop at HFCS?
Why not press onward and upward, way upwards towards the magical 200 proof strata!
(it’ll cure what ails ya) haha
Not necessarily
Unless you know for certain that the corn is organically grown non-GMO.
Rocket surgery?
Now *that* sounds exciting.
Anyone eating Jello is probably eating soylent cow green.
How Jello is made.
– Get all those bones from cows and chip them.
– put it in a container and add sulfuric acid to dissolve the minerals and some other stuff and dry the collagen, to know when it is good push down a rod if it gets to the bottom all hard material is gone and it is ready for the next step.
– Turn down the acidity by throwing some lime in it and
Tada.

Frutose is Toxic
The reason you don’t want to eat HFCS is because it can cause metabolic syndrome: obesity, heart disease & strokes, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
