Seeing videos of "fake" food is interesting and entertaining, but these things NEED to be tested. I can't believe no one has done this to any extent. Without real evidence it just becomes another conspiracy theory.

I don't need "real evidence" through lab testing to determine that the food I am buying isn't the same food I have been eating my whole life, and I don't need video examples from social media. I have gotten rock hard avocados from Costco that never ripen, watermelon that is pale and tasteless, watermelon that turns to mush when left on the counter, and food that is rotten on the inside. These products were mixed in with others that were just fine. A produce company can save (and earn) millions of dollars by introducing small amounts of fake or low quality products into their supply chain. That is one of the reasons I eat mostly grass fed beef. My family hates it because it tastes "gamey", unlike the cardboard beef they get at a restaurant that needs to be salted and doused in sauce to taste good.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I also have experienced crappy food from Costco and other outlets. But if we're going to stop it, we need real data from a lab verifying man made ingredients masquerading as real food that can be shown to people when they ask "where's your proof?" Otherwise it's just a story.
