Today we're going to talk about 10 fake foods that you will never buy again once you find

out what I'm going to talk about.

The first one is fake steak. Now what's interesting is certain restaurants,

caterers, use pieces of meat that have been glued together with something called meat glue,

and that glue is called transglutaminase. Now a couple of problems with this glue,

they have to rehandle the meat so there's increased risk of adding more bacteria to the meat,

and they don't have to actually tell you the process of how they make this glue. Originally it was

it came from blood plasma, from either a cow or a pig, and then they combined that with certain

things like a bacteria, and then they evolved to just fermenting a bacteria to make these enzymes

to make this glue. But the problem is all of this is not very transparent. You don't really know

how they're making it. Eating anywhere where there's bulk filet mignon, you might want to ask them

if they use meat glue. All right, number two, parmesan cheese. Now unfortunately most parmesan

cheese doesn't come from parma, Italy, which I could just imagine having that authentic parmesan

cheese from that city is just amazing. But unfortunately, especially in the US, you're going to get a

different version of that cheese that is made with different ingredients. It's usually a mixture of

cheap cheeses like cheddar cheese or powdered mozzarella cheese with added cellulose and a mold

inhibitor. And what's even worse is the FDA makes it legal to sell this fake parmesan cheese.

And that is because the cellulose is from natural sources. It's from wood pulp. It's between

four to 20%. So that's like one-fifth of the product is wood. So it's definitely a way for

companies to make more money with cheaper ingredients. All right, next one is crab sticks. Okay,

they called it the hot dog of the sea. And I'm talking about imitation crab. Another name for that

is serimi. And they take like random fish flesh or fish leftovers. And of course to add some
