my tism fixation on North American wildlife has me foaming at the mouth when people claim vanilla/raspberry artificial flavour is made from castoreum.

#That's like 90% myth 10% truth #You have never in your life consumed castoreum unless you specifically sought it out GUARANTEED #Gnashing my teeth when vegan person told me that vanilla isn't vegan because it comes from beavers #Even when it historically was used as a food additive more widely it was never a 1:1 replacement for vanilla #As someone who's had my fingers up a beaver claoca it is... reminiscent of vanilla #But it doesn't smell just like vanilla. It's very musky.
