fruitcake EXPOSED!










look at the cool cakes! most look like something else. so deceptive. you know what else is deceptive? fruit cake. i was in safeway and looked at the ingredients in the mixed fruit you put in fruit cake. do you know what was the #1 ingredient? nope, not pineapple, not cherries, not citrus peels, sugar, or chemical preservatives. the #1 ingredient was rutabaga. that's right, the yellow and purple skinned turnip you eat with sunday dinner. All those chunks are turnip coloured and sweetened with a bit of real fruit for show. now, i love turnip, but that's crazy. there are other foods that are tricky. i bought a jar of plum sauce one time who's main ingredient was pumpkin. and HP steak sauce has dates, orange and apple juice, tamarind, tomato, molasses... lots of weird crap. so check your lables! you never know, your tofu dogs may have soylent green in them.

I find it hard to believe that turnip is a major ingredient in fruitcake.
