                  Then tell them they just filled their mouth with bug secretions.

                  Why wait until Halloween? Go to your nearest coffee/tea shop and say it to folks who decide bug secretions are better than sugar in their beverage.

                                  Syrup? Tree blood.

                                  Hotdogs? You don’t even wanna know.

                                        Red food colouring or cosmetics? It’s called Carmine, and is made from dissolved insects.

                                            I was thinking of shellac. Comes from beetles. It’s also used in edible waxes, like what apples are coated in, IIRC.

                                          Simply handling raw chicken should convince anyone of this.

                                              Read a great comment of reddit years ago about how a little girl so loved eating chicken, until she realized she was eating a, ya know, chicken.

                                                        The same ingredient used in candy corn is also used in paint and nail polish.
