Did You Know?...beef fat and dryer sheets

A much-needed short post from my previous rants, I thought I'd share some incredible (and horrifically disgusting news) I read in a textbook for my business class.

Did you know [I'm serious] that most (non-eco) dryer sheets use beef fat to soften your clothes?  It's called tallow.

How disgusting is that?  We're wearing clothes and sleeping on sheets coated in beef fat?

A great and reasonably-priced alternative is offered by Method but there are many other brands you should check out too!  A simple google search of vegan dry sheets should do the trick.
