…that undertakers have discovered that human bodies are not deteriorating as quickly as they used to?
The reason, they believe, is that the standard North American diet now contains so many preservatives, and these chemicals may prevent the body from decomposing rapidly after death. Seems that eating too much processed food is a self-pickling procedure, of sorts. “Dilly beloved, we are gathered here today…”

I have heard this before but wasn’t sure it was true, ack! Makes me want to continue and make my own food from scratch as much as possible. I no longer want to eat out of boxes if I can help it.

Aren’t these the same preservatives that are harming our bodies and *shortening* our lives?? Weird. And gross.
