Would you like urine, skin or melamine in your milk?

There is so much crap that goes into both food and cosmetics in the US, let alone products that are imported from China. The pet food scare had me doing a lot of research about pet food and, more recently, I have been doing lots of research about what goes into to skincare. One of the most common ingredients are animal by-products that come from rendering plants. Rendering plants take dead animals - road kill, diseased farm animals, euthanized dogs and cats, etc - put them in a big cooking pot and process them down to a "valuable" substance that is used in most American cosmetics. It's gross. You can read a bit more here, if you can stomach it.

I've become more and more wary about what I put in my body and what goes on my skin (because, what goes on my skin just gets absorbed into my body). I recently threw away all kinds of beauty products because of their contents.
