The Irish Moss Carrageenan Industry

During the Second World War, there was a thing called agar that was no longer available because that was grown in the Far East. Irish Moss carrageenan basically rocketed in production. In Canada, they made 261,000 pounds in 1941. The next year, they made over two million pounds of this stuff for use in foods. And why did it save America? Well, otherwise they would have starved to death. They wouldn't have had pleasant sources during war. Oh, wow. Yeah. It kind of comes on to the, to the Shaw in North America and in Europe, doesn't it? Exactly. No Mim Flynn? She wasn't a beauty queen or anything...
