Is it weird that I spit out a donut because it contained l-cysteine?

I saw the ingredient and spit it out... it was in a pre-packaged container and there is a chance that means it contains human hair.. and at the VERY LEAST duck feathers, chicken feathers, or pig bristles.

It's not weird, but it was probably rude. The amount of trans fats and sugar alone in those things would deter me from eating one more than the fact that it contains synthesized industrial cysteine. L-Cysteine is normally synthesized from duck feathers. Human hair is no longer used.

Since cysteine is a semi-essential amino acid, you should not cut it from your diet entirely. Instead of getting fake L-Cysteine from unhealthy processed foods, I suggest getting cysteine in it's natural form (meaning: not by the hydrolysis of duck feathers). Cysteine is found naturally in foods like garlic, red peppers, broccoli, whole wheat germ, oats, and meat products like pork, chicken, turkey. Also found in milk and other dairy products.

how about spitting it out because it's been fryed in grease that's been sitting around for 3 days and probally has a few flies in it, and made from wheat grown from mutated(because of herbicides), starving, farm workers, and the money you paid for them are going to their filthy rich slave masters, or the fact that it has 10000 grams of trans fat, or the fact that it has no nutrition what so ever and will sit in your arteries and fat cells until you are 80 years old, and is stuffed with rat poison and battery acid so it can be preserved and shipped from across the continent to your neighborhood mega super corporate grocery store with unpaid and over worked employees? just sayin.

Not to mention the fat that it is SUPPOSED to contain! That's bad enough. A doughnut a day will make you fat no matter how much you are working out.

No big deal, I regularly spit out anything that contains donuts.

It'd be weird if you spit it out on an old lady, but not weird if you spit it out on the ground because you just didn't wanna eat hair/feathers. Understandable.
