Fear Factor (the orange juice edition)

so...um...I don't know who else has noticed this, but there's some weird shit in food nowadays.

In the grips of sinus and ear infections, I went shopping for immuno-defense type food. Everyone's first thought? Orange juice. But the multitude of types confused me. Finally, I decided on "Healthy Heart" as most likely to be good for sickie me. I've had it before, and it makes me feel very virtuous.

The package looked a little different...it now has a heart with "Now with Omega-3" in interesting fonts. Seeing this, I thought to myself, "Self, isn't Omega-3 a derivative of fish oil?" Self said yes, but she was sure they didn't actually put fish oil in orange juice.

Well, have I got news for me.

Looking at the ingredients this morning, I see on the back "100% pure pasteurized orange juice and Meg-3 (fish oil and fish gelatin)" Do you have any idea how difficult it is to make yourself drink something that you know has frelling fish gelatin in it? Especially when you hate fish?

Damn it, orange juice should not contain tilapia, anchovies, and sardines.
