New health crisis: cows destroying forests to combat ageing!
In a shocking discovery, it has been revealed that the health supplements we have been taking to combat ageing are being derived from cattle raised on farms that are damaging the tropical forests in Brazil.
The active ingredient in these supplements is collagen, and its links to beef and soy and deforestation in Brazil have been well-known. However, little attention has been given to the booming collagen industry, which is estimated to be worth $4bn (£3.32bn).
Scientists have expressed their doubts about the efficacy of these supplements, but that hasn’t stopped people from rushing to the stores to buy them. Many customers were shocked to learn that they were consuming collagen that was linked to deforestation.
When asked for a comment, a spokesperson for the health supplement industry claimed that they were unaware of the link between the supplement and the deforestation. They promised to look into the matter and ensure that their products were sourced responsibly in the future.
Meanwhile, the cows themselves remained tight-lipped about the matter, but one particularly smart-looking bovine raised an eyebrow and said, “Well, I have been eating some pretty healthy greens lately, so I can’t see how anyone can fault me for looking good!”
The situation has prompted many people to look for alternative sources of collagen. One resourceful person even suggested that we start consuming grasshoppers, which are high in collagen.
As it turns out, when it comes to fighting ageing, maybe the best solution is just to be comfortable in your own wrinkles!
