So, I'm interested in healing oils, right? I come across this fancy oil at Sephora, called argun oil. Argun oil, I'm thinking, wtf?

Argan Oil is a legendary oil that's rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, and grown organically in Morocco. Argan oil is known to have many treatment benefits . .

$50 bucks for less than 2 oz, btw. Fine. But according to WikiP, you eat it, too. Culinary uses, it says. From a desert tree, it says. Still fine. BUT:

Berbers . . . would collect undigested argan pits from the waste of goats which climb the trees to eat their fruit. The pits were then ground and pressed to make the nutty oil used in cooking and cosmetics.

Yikes! Of course it goes on to say that modern argun oil is processed in a "veritably clean and sanitary way."

I guess that means they wash the shit off first now.

Sounds like civet coffee:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak

Civets consume the red coffee cherries, when available, containing the fruit and seed, and they tend to pick the ripest and sweetest fruit. Thus there is a natural selection for the ripest coffee beans. The inner bean of the berry is not digested, but a unique combination of enzymes in the stomach of the civet add to the coffee's flavor by breaking down the proteins that give coffee its bitter taste. The beans are defecated, still covered in some inner layers of the berry. The beans are washed, and given only a light roast so as to not destroy the complex flavors that develop through the process.
