  • Oh, there’s more fun in the article.

    They also faked the look of rich cream by using a yellowish layer of pureed calf brains. As a historian of the Indiana health department wrote: “People could not be induced to eat brain sandwiches in [a] sufficient amount to use all the brains, and so a new market was devised.”

    Several Americans will see this picture and vote based on it. A defiant candidate, bloodied but not bowed, in front of the American flag, standing high among his personal shields as if taunting the next shot. This picture alone is political fucking gold. All a Republican has to do is show Biden tripping up the stairs to Air Force One, and your image-is-worth-a-thousand-words voter will see one candidate standing after being shot, and one tripping on stairs with no outside influence. Project 2025, “Day One dictator”," I will use my office for revenge". None of these things matter in the face of the picture for a voter who votes based on image.

In the late 1890s, formaldehyde was so widely used by the dairy and meat-packing industries that outbreaks of illnesses related to the preservative were routinely described by newspapers as “embalmed meat” or “embalmed milk” scandals.
