I am always fascinated and horrified by how processed food is made.

The machinery is fascinating and ingenious, and the goo is *so* too goo; and it also always surprises me the little parts of the process that are still best done by a human.

And: ew. ;)

Mass produced food does tend to look pretty ew while it's being produced, it's true :-)

But very efficent, thankfully, with as little waste as they can get away with.

While I "knew" that crab sticks were processed fish, I hadn't appreciated quite *how* processed...they're not something I buy as such, but I do buy food with crabsticks in it. I'll have to think about that. Probably not for very long.
