In the local newspaper the President, Kent Ransay, of a pulp and paper mill celebrating 100 years of operation spoke to its future. He is quoted as saying,
"He foretells the next 100 years of innovation at the mill will profoundly be in the sustainability of bioproducts. The mill has transitioned into the green economy by manufacturing more bioplastics and biofuels, which he admits not too many think about.
"We make tall oil which has turned into a biodiesel. That's already happening. We make turpentine, but that turpentine is made into fragrances and flavours. It's made into all sorts of products that people don't realize," Ramsay said.
“But they use it every day when they go shopping. You buy a lemon meringue pie at one of the grocery stores and by and large, the flavour of lemon comes from turpentine molecule that comes from the forest and comes from a tree."
The last line had me wonder what we are really eating. God, forbid we sacrifice real lemons instead of using turpentine molecule to get that real lemon flavour.
