Red Food Coloring Is Made With Crushed Insects

i accidentally dyed my face blue, or blue food coloring. And then i started to think about red food coloring. Red food coloring is made with the cockneil insect. Why are we eating crushed up insects? Because it's safe for human consumption. I hope you enjoyed that journey as much as i enjoyed researching it. We'll be back with a pad cast next week. It'll be the 20 second of december just before christmas.
