Do the makers of Dove use Dove?


Do the manufacturers of Cheetos eat Cheetos? After my sister told me about our skin thoroughly absorbing what we put on it--as if we were to ingest it--I thought about some of the products I've used in the past and whether or not I would eat them. Dove soap has a nice ad, "made with 1/4 moisturizing cream" or something like that. Well, what are the other ingredients? I wonder. I haven't looked it up, I suggest you do if you use it. I just know that I would not eat it. And I don't think the makers of it would either. Who knows if they even use it, knowing whats in it.

I wondered about foods I used to enjoy too. Cheetos were one of my favorites, the girls in my family love crunchy food. Now that I am more conscious of what I put in and on my body, the thought of Cheetos is not so appealing to me. What do the ingredients even mean? Is there any nutritional value beyond getting more than your maximum daily quota of sodium and red dye? And again, do the manufacturers eat the stuff? Actually, I don't like the idea of food being manufactured at all, that's a term for furniture making not food making. My recommendation is to go to the farmer's market and try something fresh.
